Nanotechnology Oil

[hulkss]

Interesting stuff here. It's been around for about 5 years now. Lots of info and links: about-nanotech

This one meets Harley specs: performanceracingoils

I'd put it in the engine and transmission but not in the chain case with the wet clutch.

They also have a 10W60 for you guys where its really hot.

UK Amsoil cloan?

I believe we have the makings of a interesting oil thread here.

Not really, the technology is totally different and Millers Oils sell through "normal" channels.

Guess that is why the "Lots of info and links: about-nanotech" was there for haha. For me to read.
It does look rather interesting. My fault assuming...
As far as the normal channels. Seems like there are a lot more sellers/stores that carry it compared to years back. That's a good thing I guess.

This is a remarkable difference just for an oil change: 2012_August_Fast_Ford

That's wild that just oil will increase horsepower by that much. Seems like something worth trying. Hopefully HD would not frown on warranty if one was yo use it. First thing they always do is try to blame something else. You gonna try the oil hulkss?

I think I'll try a quart of the 10W50 NT engine oil in the transmission. I have a bunch of Amsoil 20W50 to use up in the engine.

50 wt engine oil is about the same viscosity as 110 wt gear oil at 100 degrees C (Millers has cSt 19.8).

Harley does not recommend gear oils (GL4, GL5) in the transmission. These contain extreme pressure (EP) additives and antiwear additives to cope with the sliding action of hypoid bevel gears. These additives corrode metals that contain copper.

Yup, Bob is the oil guy.

A good piece of simple advice for Harley riders is: Don't rev a cold engine to demonstrate how it sounds. Cold oil is many times thicker than what is required to pump and flow properly and it may not be getting to where it is needed until warm. Multi-Viscosity oil has helped solve this problem to a large degree.

I'm assuming this is why my scoot sounds like it's going to shell a rod on cold startups
