sometimes products are packaged, just for suckers to buy them... you know the ones.. like the penis enlarger you brought last week

You knew it wasn't going to make a difference, but you went ahead a bought it anyway. LOL

Regarding the enlarger he brought last week and the fact that it made no difference.
listen whatever you boys get up to on your own time is fine but if you wouldn't mind keeping your bedtime shenanigans to yourselves, that'd be great. I'm trying to eat my breakfast.
I think what I'm trying to say is 'hey funboys, get a room'!

BTW, multigrade "hot" viscosities are clocked at 100C, typical engine temperature. A 10W40 brew remains slightly thicker at that temperature than a 10W30, thus giving a slightly heavier "film" of oil around engine parts. This is what Kawasaki have in mind for that engine, so don't go using a different brew just because that's what you mistakenly bought.

Thanks jimgoose
That's the informative answer i was looking for, so no point in chancing the thinner stuff, I guess i'll just put it on the shelf and single happy birthday to it every year, as i've lost the reciept.

First off-50 euros a bita ofa rip off-you can get decent motorcycle 10w40 oil down here fo r>40 euro! Dont put it in -do a search as to the reasons- i.e. cage oil not designed for use on clutches etc!
