Since dealers are not about to waste valuable floor or counter space on a product unless it produces a decent profit, it is obvious that motorcycle-specific oils have become one of the premier parts department cash cows of the 1990s. </font>&nbsp;Of course advances in lubrication technology have resulted in some fairly expensive premium, synthetic and synthetic-blend products for automobiles also. But as you can see from our pricing research at a half-dozen auto parts and cycle parts stores, the average purchase price for the motorcycle-specific lubricants runs about 120 percent higher for petroleum products and 185 percent higher for synthetic products than do their automotive counterparts. (See Figure 1) </p>&nbsp;The companies marketing these high-priced motorcycle lubricants would have us believe that their products are so superior to the automotive oils as to justify paying two and three times the price. But are we really getting the added protection promised when we purchase these products? MCN decided to look beyond the advertising-hype, specifically to see if the claims of prolonged and superior viscosity retention could be verified. What we found may very well change your mind about what should go into your motorcycle's crankcase in the future. </p>&nbsp;<font face="arial,helvetica"><h4>So The Story Goes ...</h4></font></p><h4>So The Story Goes ...</h4>&nbsp;Many motorcyclists have long doubted the need to pay the inflated prices asked for most motorcycle-specific engine oils. An even larger number of us have harbored at least some degree of skepticism about the claims made for motorcycle oils, but have been reluctant to turn away from them, for fear of damaging our precious machines if the claims should happen to be true. Most of this fear comes from very successful marketing campaigns mounted by the manufacturers and distributors of motorcycle-specific lubricants. </p>&nbsp;For example, a monthly trade publication for motorcycle dealers recently published an article suggesting, "negative selling techniques" to "educate customers" against purchasing automotive oil for their bikes. The example in the article begins with the benevolent dealer looking the poor, dumb customer in the eye and asking, in an incredulous voice, "You're not really using that in your motorcycle, are you?" </p>&nbsp;The idea, of course, is not so much to educate as to frighten the customer into paying for the more expensive motorcycle oil that only guess-who sells. Such techniques have played on our fears with great effect, to the point where high-priced, motorcycle-specific lubricants have become staple profit producing items in the majority of motorcycle dealership parts departments throughout the country. </p>&nbsp;The campaigns promoting motorcycle-specific oils have successfully indoctrinated an entire Generation of motorcycle riders and mechanics. The doctrine is now so ingrained in the industry that questioning its veracity instantly marks you as an ill-educated outsider. Even MCN has fallen victim to the hype, espousing the superiority of such products in these very pages. Our own technical experts from the American Motorcycle Institute have repeatedly advised our readers against the dangers of straying from the straight and narrow path. </p>&nbsp;What we, as well as the AMI, your local mechanic and all the other motorcycling publications have been doing is simply repeating what we have been carefully taught to believe over the years. The only problem with this approach is that our only source of information has been the people who stand to profit from our faith in the superiority of motorcycle-specific oils. </p>&nbsp;<font face="arial,helvetica"><h4>Stretching the Truth - Just a Bit</h4></font></p><h4>Stretching the Truth - Just a Bit</h4>&nbsp;Motorcycle oil producers make a multitude of claims for their products, some of which are extremely difficult to substantiate, and others which are simply outdated and no longer applicable. This is not to say that all claims made for the superiority of motorcycle oils are necessarily false, only that the actual differences between them and their automotive counterparts may be considerably less than we have been lead to believe. For example: </p>&nbsp;<b>Claim</b> - Since the introduction of catalytic converters in utomobiles, the best anti-wear agents have been limited by law to the amount that an be used in automotive oils, but are present in greater concentration in motorcycle oils. </p>&nbsp;<b>Fact</b> - Phosphorous deteriorates the catalyst in converters and is therefore restricted to a very small percentage in automotive oils. Phosphorous is also an essential element in one of the best anti-wear agents, ZDDP (zinc dialkyldithiophosphate), which is a primary component of such over-the-counter engine additives as STP Engine Treatment. </p>&nbsp;While it is true that slightly increased concentrations of ZDDP are found in some motorcycle oils (such as Spectro products), it is also true that these concentrations still fall under the governmental limits, otherwise these oils could not be used in the new converter-equipped motorcycles from BMW and Yamaha. Also, it should be noted that ZDDP is a "last line of defense"-type additive, generally only coming into play under extremely severe conditions where actual metal-to-metal contact occurs within an engine, something that should never happen under normal operating conditions. </p>&nbsp;<b>Claim</b> - Motorcycle engines run hotter and rev higher than automobile engines, therefore requiring oils with more expensive, shear-stable polymers and additives than automotive oils. </p>&nbsp;<b>Fact</b> - This is one of those statements that was much more true in the 1970s than in the 1990s. The big, slow-revving Detroit automobile engines of the past have mostly been replaced with smaller, higher-revving four-cylinder and six-cylinder engines that have much more in common with their counterparts running on two wheels. Keeping pace with the development of the small, high-revving, automobile engine, automotive oils have improved considerably, to the point where the newer, SG-rated automotive oils are nearly identical to motorcycle oils. </p>&nbsp;In most cases where motorcycle oil producers show comparisons between their products and automotive oils, you will find them using SE- or SF-rated oils as the "automotive standard." These are oils that were designed and rated for the cars of 10 to 20 years ago. We have yet to see a motorcycle oil compared in testing to the 1990's standard, SG-rated premium automotive oils. </p>&nbsp;<font face="arial,helvetica"><h4>The Viscosity-Retention Claim</h4></font></p><h4>The Viscosity-Retention Claim</h4>&nbsp;By far the loudest and most-believed claim made for motorcycle oils is that they retain their viscosity longer than automotive oils when used in a motorcycle. The standard claim made in most advertising is that motorcycle-specific oils contain large amounts of expensive, shear-stable polymers that better resist the punishment put on the oil by the motorcycle's transmission, thus retaining their viscosity longer and better than automotive oils would under the same conditions. </p>&nbsp;This quote comes directly from the back of a bottle of Spectro 4 motorcycle oil, and is similar to the advertising line used by nearly all motorcycle oils: Because of its special polymers, Spectro 4 maintains its viscosity, whereas the shearing action of motorcycle gears quickly reduces the viscosity of automotive oils. </p>&nbsp;We've all heard it a thousand times before. Our transmissions are the culprits that force us to buy special, $6-a-quart motorcycle oil instead of the 99 cent special at Pep Boys. We hate to have to do it, but we all know that it's true--or is it? </p>&nbsp;The question begged an answer, so MCN went looking for evidence that motorcycle oils really are more shear-stable than their automotive counterparts. </p>&nbsp;<font face="arial,helvetica"><h4>Help From the Scientific Quarter</h4></font></p><h4>Help From the Scientific Quarter</h4>&nbsp;About the same time we began looking into the oil viscosity retention question, we received a letter from John Woolum, a professor of physics at California State University - and a motorcyclist - who noted that he was investigating in the same area on his own. Not being ones to look a gift horse in the mouth, we contacted Dr. Woolum and encouraged him to expand his research on our behalf. </p>&nbsp;Later in this article Dr. Woolum explains the laboratory procedures he used to generate the statistics used in this article. but for the mean-time let's just take a look at the bottom line when five popular oils (three automotive and two motorcycle) were compared for relative viscosity retention after use in the same motorcycle. (See Figure 2) </p>&nbsp;As can be seen from the figures, the best-performing oil of the group tested was Mobil 1 automotive oil, a fully synthetic product. In today's market, virtually all oils sold are to some extent para-synthetic, since even standard petroleum products usually contain at least some synthetic-derived additives. However, for the sake of simplicity in this article we have listed the products as petroleum if the primary components are from basic petroleum stock. Those listed as synthetics have their primary components derived from basic synthetic stocks, and may or may not contain any additives derived from petroleum products. </p>&nbsp;<font face="arial,helvetica"><h4>reliminary Conclusions</h4></font></p><h4>Preliminary Conclusions</h4>&nbsp;The results of these tests seem to support some of the long-standing theories about oils while casting serious doubt on others. Going by these tests it would seem logical to assume that:<br/></p><ol><li>The viscosity of synthetic-based oils generally drops more slowly than that of petroleum-based oils in the same application.<br/></li><li>Comparing these figures to viscosity retention for the same oils when used in an automobile (see later text by Prof. Woolum) would indicate that motorcycles are indeed harder on oils than cars.<br/></li><li>The fastest and most significant drop in the viscosity of petroleum-based oils used in motorcycles occurs during the first 800 miles (or less) of use.<br/>All of these results (1-3) agree with everything the oil companies have been telling us all along. However, the same test data also indicates that:<br/></li><li>The viscosities of petroleum-based oils, whether designed for auto or motorcycle application, drop at approximately the same rate when used in a motorcycle.<br/></li><li>There is no evidence that motorcycle-specific oils out-perform their automotive counterparts in viscosity retention when used in a motorcycle. </li></ol>&nbsp;These last two results (4-5) definitely do not agree with what the motorcycle oil producers have been telling us. In fact the test results not only indicate the two motorcycle oils being outperformed in viscosity retention by the two automotive synthetic products. but even by the relatively inexpensive Castrol GTX, which is a petroleum product. This directly contradicts the advertising claims made by the motorcycle oil producers. </p>&nbsp;<font face="arial,helvetica"><h4>The Oil Companies Reply</h4></font></p><h4>The Oil Companies Reply</h4>&nbsp;At Spectro Oils we talked to three different company spokesmen, all of whom were helpful and provided us with a great deal of information about their products. Unfortunately, despite our repeated requests for the testing data on which their advertising claims were based, the 15 pages of "Lubrication Data" they supplied us contained nothing that could not be found in their regular advertising and marketing packages. No verifiable testing data has been forthcoming. </p>&nbsp;The Spectro spokesmen were not pleased when informed of our test results, but when pressed, none could come up with a valid reason why their product should have scored the lowest, either. The only comment we got was, "We only wish you had tested our Golden Spectro synthetic instead of the petroleum-based Spectro 4." </p>&nbsp;Undoubtedly the Golden Spectro would have outscored the regular Spectro in our tests, though how well in comparison to the Mobil 1 and Castrol products we can only guess at this point. </p>&nbsp;When asked why the Spectro 4 petroleum product sold for $5.00 a quart when comparable automotive oils could be found at less than $1.50 a quart, a Spectro spokesman insisted theirs was "a superior, premium petroleum product, with expensive, shear-stable additives that should outperform automotive oils." That being the case, it should have been the perfect product for our testing. </p>&nbsp;We made a half-dozen calls to several different divisions within American Honda, but could find no one willing to make any statement regarding their HP4 motorcycle oil. All of the Honda employees we reached were friendly, and tried to help as much as they could, but you must keep in mind that Honda is a huge conglomerate and sometimes the person with the right answers to a question is difficult to track down through the corporate maze. Their Accessories Product Management Division noted that they had a lubrication expert that might be able to help us, but also that he was out of the country on vacation for the next month and could not be reached before this article went to press. Should someone from Honda wish to comment at a later date, we will certainly make room in a later issue. </p>&nbsp;Spokesmen at both Mobil and Castrol were a bit surprised at our questions, since neither makes any claims for their products in a motorcycling context. However, when we explained the test results, neither company spokesman seemed the least bit surprised, both noting that automotive oils in general had made a quantum leap in viscosity retention technology in the past five or six years. Both companies claimed to be using the very latest in shear-stable polymers for viscosity retention, and while claiming no knowledge of the motorcycle-specific oils' formula, expressed serious doubt that they could contain some type of additive that was superior in this context to that already being used in their automotive oils. Our test results support their assertion. </p>&nbsp;<font face="arial,helvetica"><h4>THE TEST</h4></font></p><h4>THE TEST</h4>&nbsp;As we noted earlier, the viscosity-retention figures reported in the table were the result of a series of tests conducted by Dr. John C. Woolum, Professor of Physics at California State University. Since the validity of these tests is likely to be called into question by motorcycle oil marketers, following are Dr. Woolum's lab notes and explanations of the procedures he followed. </p>&nbsp;</p><hr/>&nbsp;<font face="arial,helvetica"><h2>Relative Viscosity Retention Comparisons Among Five Brands of Automotive and Motorcycle Oils</h2><h3>by John C. Woolum/ Ph.D.</h3><h4>Professor of Physics<br/>California State University, Los Angeles</h4></font></p><h2>Relative Viscosity Retention Comparisons Among Five Brands of Automotive and Motorcycle Oils</h2><h3>by John C. Woolum/ Ph.D.</h3><h4>Professor of Physics<br/>California State University, Los Angeles</h4>&nbsp;The central dogma of motorcycle oil manufacturers and distributors has always been that motorcycles put different demands on their lubricants than do automobiles. In particular, they point to the facts that motorcycles run at higher temperatures and use the same oil in their transmissions as in their engines. The transmission gears supposedly put extreme pressures on the oil molecules, thus causing the long oil polymers to break down. High temperatures can have the same basic effect, as well as additional effects such as the increase in oxidation products. </p>&nbsp;When the size of the oil polymers decreases ("cut up by the transmission gears," as at least one manufacturer claims), the oil thins. In other words, its viscosity decreases, as well as its ability to lubricate properly. For example, what started out as a 40-weight oil could effectively become a 30-weight oil, or even a 20-weight, after prolonged use. What this means, effectively, is that if the claims of the motorcycle oil producers are valid, they can easily be verified through measurement of viscosity changes on various oils as they are used in different applications. </p>&nbsp;Measuring the viscosity drop in oils did not seem like too difficult a task, especially since measuring viscosity of solutions of large molecules is a common practice in many biophysics laboratories - mine included. My lab had all the correct equipment - in fact the viscometers that I normally used for solutions of DNA and proteins were originally designed for oil measurements. </p>&nbsp;<font face="arial,helvetica"><h4>Setting the Stage</h4></font></p><h4>Setting the Stage</h4>&nbsp;Viscosity is a measure of the friction between two layers of a liquid sliding relative to one another. It is usually measured in poise, or grams per centimeter per second (g/cm. sec). The basic principle of many viscometers is to measure the time required for a known amount of a liquid to pass through a capillary tube under gravitational force. The time taken will depend on the viscosity and the density of the liquid. The more viscous or less dense the liquid. the longer the time it will take to flow through the capillary. </p>&nbsp;Therefore in reality, this kind of viscometer does not measure viscosity directly, but rather the ratio of the viscosity to the density of the liquid being tested. This ratio is called the kinematic viscosity. and the common unit for expressing it is in stokes or poise cm^3/gram. </p>&nbsp;The viscometer used for my measurements was an Ostwald-type, Cannon-Fenske 200, designed to measure kinematic viscosities in the range of 10 to 100 centistokes (a centistoke is one-hundredth of a stoke). The oils being measured had kinematic viscosities between about 10 and 25 centistokes. </p>&nbsp;For the test samples, I decided to use two types of oils designed specifically for motorcycles and three types of fairly standard automotive oil. </p>&nbsp;The automotive oils were Castrol GTX 10W40 (petroleum based, $1.24/qt.), Castrol Syntec 10W40 (synthetic, $3.99/qt.) and Mobil 1 15W50 (synthetic, $3.48/qt.). The motorcycle oils were Spectro 4 10W40 (petroleum based, $4.99/qt.) and Honda HP4 10W40 (petroleum/synthetic blend, $5.99/qt.). </p>&nbsp;Each of these oils was run in the same motorcycles 1984 Honda V65 Sabre-under as near to identical conditions as possible. The oils were sampled for testing at 0, 800 and 1500 miles each. </p>&nbsp;As temperature has a strong effect on viscosity, I had to make certain it was carefully controlled for the experiments. Using a laboratory temperature control chamber, all measurements were made at 99 degrees Celsius (error factor of plus or minus 0.5 degrees), which is about 210 degrees Fahrenheit. This is the most common temperature used for oil viscosity measurements. It usually took about 15 minutes for each sample to achieve equilibrium within the chamber. </p>&nbsp;Each oil's kinematic viscosity was compared with its own kinematic viscosity at 0 miles to establish the viscosity ratio. In addition, measurements were made of each oil's density at each state of the tests. The densities were found to change by less than one percent, which is about the limit of the accuracy of the measurements. Therefore, a ratio of the times taken for the oils to pass through the viscometer effectively gives the ratio of their actual viscosities, since the densities cancel out. </p>&nbsp;What this all means in layman's terms then, is that the ratio established for each oil at the end of each test is a percentage of the amount of original viscosity retained at that point. For example. the Castro] GTX sample at 800 miles showed a relative viscosity of 0.722, meaning it had retained 72.2 percent of its original viscosity. Or, if you want to look at it the other way, the Castrol had lost 27.8 percent of its viscosity after 800 miles of use in the motorcycle. </p>&nbsp;Just for comparison sake, I also tested the viscosity drop of the Castrol GTX automotive oil after use in a 1987 Honda Accord automobile. At 3600 miles of use, the Castrol GTX showed a relative viscosity of 91.8 percent. </p>&nbsp;As the Mobil 1 had retained so much of its viscosity after the 1500 mile test, it was the only oil I allowed to run longer in the motorcycle. After 2500 miles, the Mobil 1 recorded a relative viscosity of 79.1 percent. </p>&nbsp;Also, it is worthy of note that from a testing standpoint, the two most similar oils were the Castrol GTX automotive oil and the Spectro 4 motorcycle oil. By similar, I mean that they tested as having almost the same absolute kinematic viscosity and density right out of the container. So starting out as equals, the Castrol maintained its viscosity several percentage points higher than the Spectro, under the same use in the same motorcycle yet the Spectro costs about four times the price of the Castrol. </p>&nbsp;<font face="arial,helvetica"><h4>The Error Factor</h4></font></p><h4>The Error Factor</h4>&nbsp;As a scientist, I must always ask myself. Are there possible errors in these measurements that would make them invalid? One possibility here would be that there was more particulate matter (contaminants) in some oil samples than in others, which would increase the viscosity numbers of that oil. Particulates disrupt the streamline flow and so increase the viscosity. (Einstein was the first to derive the quantitive expression for the increase in viscosity due to spherically, shaped particles.) </p>&nbsp;Large particulates should have been removed by the oil filter, and a new filter was used for each test. Still, to determine the effect of smaller particulates the oil samples were centrifuged at 11,000 g (11,000 times the acceleration of gravity) for a period of 10 minutes. A considerable amount of particulate matter was found and removed in all of the 800 mile and 1500 mile samples. However, the change in viscosity made by eliminating these particulates was found to be negligible. </p>&nbsp;Another possible source of error would be that the conditions to which the oils were subjected were different. In all cases, the distances were comprised of approximately 70 percent city riding and 30 percent freeway riding. The range of temperatures and the average ambient temperature during which the motorcycle was ridden were approximately the same. If anything, the average ambient temperature was higher during the operation of the motorcycle with the Mobil 1 oil, which should have put it at a disadvantage, yet it scored the highest overall in the viscosity retention tests. </p>&nbsp;Of course the motorcycle did age somewhat during the testing period, which took place over a year-long span. It registered about 4000 miles at the beginning of these tests and about 14,000 at the end. The order in which the oils were tested was:<br/>1) Castrol, 2) Spectro, 3) Mobil and 4) Honda. </p>&nbsp;<font face="arial,helvetica"><h4>Other Criteria</h4></font></p><h4>Other Criteria</h4>&nbsp;The motorcycle oil producers have suggested that other criteria. such as the amount of wear metals and contaminants, might be unacceptable when using automotive oil in a motorcycle. To test this theory, I sent a sample of the Castrol GTX at 1500 miles to SpectroTech. Inc., for a complete oil analysis. Their findings were that all contaminants (water, dirt, coolant and sludge) were normal. </p>&nbsp;SpectroTech also reported that all wear elements (antimony, titanium, silver, copper, lead, tin, aluminum, nickel, chromium, cadmium, sodium and boron) were normal except for iron, which was reported as "mildly above normal" at 51 parts per million. </p>&nbsp;SpectroTech lists acceptable levels for all of the above listed metals except iron, for which they state, "values vary greatly with systems and parts." so it is not clear what exactly is meant by "mildly above normal." Perhaps it was in comparison to cars with 1500 miles on the oil. Also, this could have been due to cam wear, since the early Honda V-4s were known for excessive cam and rocker arm wear. </p>&nbsp;In any case, again I could find nothing to support the argument that automotive oils were somehow less effective than motorcycle-specific lubricants when used in a motorcycle. </p>&nbsp;<font face="arial,helvetica"><h4>Bottom Line</h4></font></p><h4>Bottom Line</h4>&nbsp;It could appear from this data, then, that there is no validity to the constantly-used argument that motorcycle-specific oils provide superior lubrication to automotive oils when used in a motorcycle. If the viscosity drop is the only criterion, then there is certainly no reason to spend the extra money on oil specifically designed for motorcycles. There does, however, appear to be a legitimate argument for using synthetic and synthetic-blend oils over the petroleum based products. </p>&nbsp;<font face="arial,helvetica"><h4>MCN's Conclusions</h4></font></p><h4>MCN's Conclusions</h4>&nbsp;In speaking to a number of people involved in the production, marketing and distribution of motorcycle-specific oils, we could not find anyone who could present a valid argument for discrediting the testing done by Dr. Woolum. In general, they all tried to turn the conversation another direction by bringing up other possible advantages to using their products, while ignoring the viscosity-retention question. Yet without exception it is their own advertising that consistently brings the subject up, touting the special shear-stable polymers as the primary reason motorcyclists should purchase their products. </p>&nbsp;It is this practice to which we take exception, as we have been unable to find evidence to support these claims. In short, it seems to be nothing more than a clever marketing ploy designed to enhance their products' image and separate motorcyclists from their money. </p>&nbsp;MCN is ready to print any research or test results provided by the oil companies to support their claims of superior viscosity retention, with this one proviso: The comparisons must be against actual, SG-rated oil products that can be purchased off the shelf at the average auto parts store. Tests against generic, basic-stock mineral oil or against the lower-rated SE and SF oils would lack any credibility in a real-world context. </p>&nbsp;Despite more than six months of research, reading all the claims and counter-claims printed by dozens of industry experts and lubrication experts, MCN cannot and does not purport to know all there is to know about the differences between automotive and motorcycle oils. However, what we do know is that we can find no substantive evidence that using a high-quality, name-brand automotive oil in an average street motorcycle is in any way harmful or less effective in providing proper lubrication and protection than using the more expensive, motorcycle-specific oils.</p></td></tr></tbody></table><table cellpadding="10" border="1"><caption><b>Figure I</b></caption><tbody><tr><td colspan="2"><center><b>Petroleum Based, Multiple Viscosity, SG-Rated, Oils</b>

摩托车油与汽车油
令人惊讶的新的证据,就粘保留问题
走进任何摩托车零件经销商处,你几乎是保证见突出显示器的油脂生产专门用于摩托车发动机。由于经销商并不打算浪费宝贵的地板或柜台空间,一个产品,除非它产生一个像样的利润,这是很明显的摩托车特定油脂已成为其中的总理零件部摇钱树,整个20世纪90年代。
当然进展润滑技术已导致一些相当昂贵的保费,合成和合成-混纺产品为汽车也。但正如你可以看到从我们的定价研究,在半打以上的汽车零部件和循环部分商店的货架上,平均买入价为摩托车具体润滑油运行约120个百分点,为石油产品和185个百分点,为合成产品相比,他们的汽车对口。 (见图表1 )

该公司销售这些高价位的摩托车润滑油想我们相信,他们的产品是如此优越的汽车油作为辩护付出两三倍的价钱。但我们是否真的得到补充,保障承诺的,当我们购买这些产品呢? mcn决定放远目光,广告大肆宣传,特别是要看到,如果索赔的漫长和优越的粘度保留可予核实。我们发现,很可能改变你的态度,应该怎样去融入你的摩托车的曲轴箱,在未来的。

摩托车的石油生产国,使众多的债权为他们的产品,其中有一些是极难充实,和其他人,这纯粹是过时及不再适用。这并不是说所有的债权为优势的摩托车油必然是虚假的,只是实际区别他们和他们的汽车对口单位,可大大少于我们一直领先难以相信。举例来说:

索赔-自从引入催化转换器在u tomobiles,最好的抗磨剂被局限在法律上的金额是一个被用于汽车,油料,但目前更集中在摩托车油。

事实上-磷恶化的催化剂转换器,并因此限制在一个非常低的比例,在汽车油料。磷也是不可或缺的一环,在其中一个最好的抗磨剂, zddp (二烷基二硫代磷酸锌) ,它是一个主要组成部分,如过度的柜台发动机添加剂,作为污水处理厂的发动机治疗。

虽然这是事实略有增加浓度zddp发现在一些摩托车油类(如分光产品) ,这也是事实,这些浓度仍属于政府的限制,否则这些油脂不能被用于新的转炉装备精良摩托车由宝马和雅马哈。同时,应该指出的是, zddp是"最后一道防线"的新型添加剂,一般只有进入下发挥着极其严峻的条件下,实际的金属-金属接触发生在一个引擎,而这应该是绝对不可能的事情,在正常营运条件。

索赔-摩托车发动机运行白热化和冯智活高于汽车引擎,因此需要与油脂较昂贵,剪切稳定的聚合物和添加剂比汽车油料。

其实-这是其中那些声明说,更为如此,在2 0世纪7 0年代比2 0世纪9 0年代。大,慢转速底特律汽车发动机上的,过去大多被改为更小,高转速4缸和6缸发动机,即有更多的共同点,他们行走的两个轮子。与时俱进,发展小型,高转速,汽车发动机,汽车油有了很大的改善,以点较新,双桂额定汽车食油几乎相同,以摩托车油。

在大多数情况下,摩托车的石油生产国展比较,其产品和汽车油,你会发现,他们用硒或sf -额定油脂作为"汽车标准"这些都是油脂被设计和额定车的10到20年前。我们还没有看到一个摩托车油相比,在测试,以1990年的标准,双桂评为地价汽车油料。


粘度-保留索赔

粘度-保留索赔
迄今为止最响,最相信的索赔作出了摩托车油,是他们保留其粘度长于汽车油时所用的电单车。该标准提出的索赔在大多数广告是摩托车特定油脂含有大量的昂贵,剪切稳定的高分子聚合物,更有效地抵御处罚提上了油的摩托车的传输,从而保持其粘度较长,且优于汽车,将油在相同条件下。

这引述都是直接从背部的一樽分光四日摩托车油,是类似广告线所使用的几乎所有的机车油脂:由于其特殊的聚合物,分光四日保持其粘度,而剪切行动的摩托车齿轮迅速降低粘度的汽车油料。

我们都听到了它一千次。我们的变速箱的匪徒这迫使我们购买特别的, 6元的一项夸脱摩托车油,而是把99仙特别在pep的男孩。我们憎恨不得不这么做,但我们都知道,它的真实-或者是什么呢?

问题乞求一个答案,所以mcn去寻找证据,证明摩托车油真的更剪切稳定比汽车对应。


有利于从科学季

有利于从科学季
大约同一时候,我们开始寻找到油粘度保留问题,我们收到一封信,从约翰woolum ,物理学教授,在加州州立大学-和一名电单车司机-世卫组织指出,他当时正在调查,在同一地区,对他自己。不要被自己看看赠送马匹,在口耳相传,我们接触到博士woolum ,并鼓励他扩大他的研究对我们的代表。

后来,在这篇文章中博士woolum解释了实验流程,他用来生成统计用的,在这篇文章中。但对于平均时间让我们只要看看底线时,五个流行的油类(三汽车和两个摩托车)的人相比,为相对粘度保留使用后,在同样的摩托车。 (见图2 )

可以看出,从人物中,表现最好的油集团测试,是美孚1号汽车油,一个完全由合成产品。在今天的市场上,几乎所有的油脂出售都在某种程度上段合成的,因为即使是标准的石油产品中通常含有至少有一些合成源性添加剂。不过,为求简洁,在这篇文章中我们已经上市的产品,作为石油,如果主要成分是从基本石油股票。那些被列为合纤公司,其主要成分来自基本合成股票,并有可能或可能不会含有任何添加剂来自石油产品。


初步结论

初步结论
这些化验结果似乎支持一些长期未决的理论油脂,而铸造严重怀疑别人。按这些测试,它似乎是一个合乎逻辑的假设是:


粘度合成为基础油普遍下降速度比较慢,比石油基础油的,在同样的申请。
比较这些数字,粘度保留为同一油时所用的汽车(见文后,由教授woolum )将表明,摩托车确实是难以对油脂比车。
最快,最显着下降,粘度以石油为原料的油脂中使用的摩托车出现在第一800英里(或以下)的使用。
所有这些结果( 1-3 )同意所有油公司一直告诉我们,所有沿。然而,同样的试验数据还表明:
粘度以石油为原料的油脂,无论是专为汽车或摩托车的应用,下降大约与此同时率时,所使用的电单车。
目前并没有证据显示摩托车特定油脂不折不扣履行自己的汽车同行粘度保留使用时,一辆电单车。最后两个结果( 4-5 ) ,绝对不同意什么摩托车的石油生产国一直告诉我们。事实上,测试结果不仅表明了两个摩托车油手拙在粘度保留,由两个汽车合成产品。但即使是由价格相对低廉castrol gtx的,这是一种石油产品。这直接违背了广告所提出的申索摩托车的石油生产国。


油公司答复

油公司答复
在分光油脂,我们谈过3个不同公司的代言人,他们都十分有用,而且为我们提供了大量资料,对他们的产品。不幸的是,尽管我们一再要求,试验数据上的广告声称依据时, 15页的"润滑数据" ,他们为我们提供载无计可施,无法找到其经常广告及市场推广方案。没有核查的测试数据已即将出版。

该光谱发言人都没有对此感到高兴,当得知我们的测试结果,不过,当催促,没有人能拿出一个正当的理由,为什么他们的产品应该有满意度最低,也不行。唯一的评论,我们得到的, "我们只是想你了,考验了我们的黄金分光合成而不是石油为基础的光谱4 。 "

毫无疑问,黄金光谱将有出色定期分光,在我们的测试,虽然是如何以及在比较美孚1号和castrol产品,我们只能猜测,在这一点上。

当问及为什么分光四日石油产品售价$ 5.00一夸脱时,可比汽车油脂,可以发现,在不到1.50美元夸脱,一分光发言人坚称他们是"性能优越,地价石油产品,与昂贵的,剪切稳定添加剂应超出汽车油料。 "既然如此,它应该已经完美的产品,为我们的测试。

我们提出了半打以上的要求,以几种不同的分歧,美国本田,但能找到,没有人愿意作任何声明,就其哈利波特-火杯的考验摩托车油。所有的本田公司雇员,我们达成了友好的,并试图帮助很大,因为他们可以,但你必须记住,本田公司是一个庞大的企业集团,且有时人与正确答案的一个问题,是难以追查,通过法人迷宫。其配件产品管理司指出,他们进行了润滑专家说,或许能够帮助我们,但也说,他是出于国家渡假,为下月不可能达成妥协之前,这条到新闻。应该有人从本田想评论在稍后的日期,我们就一定能够使房间在以后的问题。

代言人都美孚及castrol人有点惊讶,在我们的问题,因为无论作出任何索赔要求他们的产品在摩托车运动的背景。但是,当我们解释了试验结果,这两家公司的发言人似乎至少有点惊讶,既注意到汽车油普遍取得了飞跃粘度保留技术,在过去的5年或6年。两家公司都声称他们使用了最新的,在剪切稳定的聚合物粘度保留,并同时声称,不知道摩托车特定油'的公式,表示严重怀疑,他们可能含有某种类型的添加剂,这是优势,在这方面要这已被用来在他们的汽车油料。我们的测试结果,支持他们的说法。

测试
正如我们前面所指出的,粘度固位数字报道,在该表中的结果,一系列试验所进行的专家约翰长woolum ,物理学教授,在加州州立大学。自从有效性这些测试可能会被质疑的,由摩托车油营销商,以下是博士woolum的实验室笔记和解释的程序,他随。

相对粘度保留比较,其中5个品牌的汽车和摩托车油
由约翰长woolum /博士
物理学教授

中央教条的摩托车油制造商和分销商一直认为摩托车提出不同的要求,对他们的润滑油比汽车。特别是,他们指出,事实机车运行在更高的温度,并使用相同的油,在其变速器如同在其引擎。传动齿轮理应把极端的压力,对油分子,从而造成长期的石油聚合物打破。高温可以有相同的基本效应,以及额外的影响,例如增加氧化产物。

当规模的石油聚合物跌幅( "割喉由传动齿轮, "由于至少有一个制造商索赔) ,石油thins 。或者换句话说,其粘度降低,以及它有能力润滑妥当。举例来说,一开始只是作为一个40 -重量油,可有效成为30 -重量油,或什至20个体重,经过长时间使用。这意味着什么,有效的是,如果索赔的摩托车产油国是正当的,他们可以轻易得到验证,通过测量粘度的变化,对各种油类,因为它们被用来在不同的应用领域。

测量粘度下降,油脂似乎并不想太困难的任务,尤其是因为测量粘度的解决方案的大型分子,是一种普遍的做法,在许多生物物理学实验室-地雷包括在内。我的实验室已全部正确的设备-其实v iscometers我通常用于解的基因和蛋白质的最初设计,为石油测量。


设置阶段

设置阶段
粘度是衡量摩擦间两层液体滑动相对给对方。它通常是衡量风采,或克每厘米每秒(克/立方厘米。证管会) 。基本原理许多viscometers是测量所需的时间已知金额的液体通过毛细管内下引力。时间将取决于粘度和密度的液体。更粘性或密度较低的液体。时间越长,它会采取流经毛细管。

因此,在现实中,这种粘度计并不措施粘度直接,而是比粘度,以密度液体的考验。这个比例被称为运动粘度。和共同的单位表示,这是在斯托克斯或风采平方公分3/gram 。

该粘度计用于测量我国是一个ostwald型,景隆- fenske 200 ,用来衡量运动粘度范围为10至100 centistokes ( 1 centistoke是一对一百某脑卒中) 。该油脂被用来衡量了运动学粘度之间的约10个和25个centistokes 。

为测试样本,我决定利用这两种油的,专门设计用于摩托车和三种类型的比较规范的汽车燃油。

汽车油castrol的gtx 10w40 (石油为基础,为1.24/qt 。 ) , castrol syntec 10w40 (合成元, 3.99/qt 。 )和美孚1号15w50 (合成元, 3.48/qt 。 ) 。摩托车油分光四日10w40 (石油为基础,为4.99/qt 。 )与本田哈利波特-火杯的考验1 0w40(石油/合成混纺织物,为5 .99/qt。 ) 。

每个这些油脂是运行在同一摩托车, 1984年本田v65军刀下尽可能接近相同的条件越好。该油脂作抽样检验,在0 , 800和1500英里每个。

由于温度有很强的影响粘度,我曾做出一定的,它是经过精心控制实验。用一个实验室温度控制会议厅时,所有的测量作了99摄氏度(误差因素正负0.5度) ,这是大约210华氏度。这是最常见的温度用于油粘度测量。它通常需时约15分钟,每个样品,以达到平衡内部会议厅。

每个油的运动粘度进行了比较与自己的运动粘度在0英里建立粘度比。此外,测量了每个油的密度,在每一个国家的考验。密度,发现变化,由不到1 % ,是人类极限的,精确的测量。因此,比例为时代所采取的为油脂穿过粘度计有效地给出了比其实际粘度,由于密度取消了。

这一切手段,在外行人的术语则是,该比例确定的每种油在每年年底的试验是一个百分比的金额原粘度保留,在这一点上。举例来说。卡斯特罗] gtx的样品800英里表现出相对粘度的0.722 ,这意味着它保留了72.2 %的,其原有的粘度。或者,如果你想从另一角度看这样, castrol已经失去了27.8 % ,其粘度后800英里使用在摩托车。

只为比较起见,我也测试粘度下降的castrol gtx的汽车油使用后,在1987年,本田雅阁汽车。在3600英里的使用, castrol gtx的呈现相对粘度的91.8 %的。

作为美孚1号保留了这么多,其粘度后,在1500英里的测试,它是唯一的石油容许我来说,在较长的摩托车。经过2500英里,美孚1号录得相对粘度的79.1 %的。

此外,值得注意的是,从测试的角度来说,这两个最相似的油脂被castrol gtx的汽车燃油及分光四日摩托车油。类似的,我的意思是说,他们测试了具有几乎相同的绝对运动粘度和密度,右列的货柜。所以出发,平等待人,该castrol保持其粘度数个百分点,高于分光,可以根据同样使用在同一摩托车,但分光费用约4倍价格的castrol 。


误差因素

误差因素
作为一个科学家,我必须经常问自己。有可能出现的错误,在这些测量这将使其失效?一种可能性是在这里,将有更多的颗粒物(污染物)在一些油样品比在其他情况下,这会增加粘度,有多少石油。粒子,打乱简化流程等,增加粘度。 (爱因斯坦是第一个推导出定量表达,为增加粘度,由于球,形颗粒。 )

大型粒子,应已被剔除,由机油滤清器,以及一个新的过滤器是用于每次试验。还有,要确定的影响较小颗粒物油样品离心,在11000克( 11,000倍的加速度重力) ,持续时间10分钟。相当数量的颗粒物被发现并拆除了所有的800英里和1500英里的样本。但是,这一变化在粘度所作消除这些颗粒物被认为可以忽略不计。

另一种可能的误差来源将是那些条件,以其中油脂遭受不同。在所有情况下,距离组成的大约百分之七十的城市骑马,而且还有百分之三十的高速公路骑。在各种温度和平均室温在该摩托车被缠身,大约有相同的。若有的话,平均室温较高,在行动中的摩托车与美孚1号油,而应该把它上处于不利地位,但得分最高的整体粘度保留测验。

当然摩托车也有点年龄在测试期间,发生了超过一年的跨度。它注册的约4000英里在开始时,这些测试及约14,000在去年底。该命令,其中油脂进行了测试是:
1 ) castrol , 2 )分光, 3 ) ,美孚和4 ) ,本田。


其他标准

其他标准
摩托车的石油生产国曾建议其他标准。如金额磨损金属和污染物的,可能是不能接受的,当用汽车油电单车。为验证这一理论,我发出了一个样本的castrol的gtx于15英里spectrotech 。公司,为一个完整的油液分析。他们的调查结果显示,所有污染物(水,泥土,冷却水及污泥)均属正常。

spectrotech还报道说,所有磨损元素(锑,钛,银,铜,铅,锡,铝,镍,铬,镉,钠,硼)均正常,除铁,而据报道,由于"轻度高于正常" ,在51个零件每百万。

spectrotech名单,在可接受的程度内,为上述所有上市金属除铁,因为他们的国家" ,价值观差别很大,与系统和零部件。 "所以,目前尚不清楚到底是什么意思, "轻度高于正常。 "也许,正是在比较车1500英里于石油。同时,这可能是由于凸轮磨损的,因为早在本田v型4处理器被称为过度凸轮和摇臂磨损。

在任何情况下,我再次能找到什么,以支持论点,即汽车油有点效果较差,比摩托车润滑油具体使用时,一辆电单车。


底线

底线
它可能出现,从这个数据,那么,有没有效力,以不断使用的说法摩托车特定油脂可提供卓越的润滑,以汽车油时所用的电单车。如果粘度下降,是唯一的标准,那么,肯定是没有理由要花费额外的金钱,对石油专为摩托车。有什么,不过,似乎是一个合法的论据,用合成和合成共混油脂超过石油为基础的产品。


mcn的结论

mcn的结论
在谈到向多的人参与制作,销售和分销的摩托车特定油脂,我们看不到任何人可以提出足够理据抹黑测试做博士woolum 。一般来说,他们都试图把谈话的另一个方向是由培养了其他可能的优势,使用他们的产品,而忽略了粘保留的问题。然而,没有例外,那是他们自己的广告,始终把题目了,兜揽生意特别剪稳定的高分子聚合物为主要理由,电单车司机应该购买他们的产品。

正是这种做法,这是我们采取例外,因为我们一直无法找到证据来支持这些说法。总之,它似乎只能是一个多聪明的营销伎俩,其目的是提高其产品的形象和单独的电单车司机,从他们的钱。

mcn准备打印任何研究或试验结果由油公司提供,以支持其索赔的优势粘度保留,这其中一个附带条件:比较必须针对实际,双桂评为石油产品,可以购买过货架上平均汽车配件商店。测试,对通用的,基本的股份制矿物油或对下级额定硒和sf油脂会缺乏公信力,在一个真实的世界背景。

尽管有6个多月的研究,从阅读中的所有索赔和反索赔的印制,由数十名行业专家和润滑专家, mcn不能也不会旨趣知道所有有认识的分歧汽车和摩托车油。不过,我们所知道的是,我们能够找到没有实质性的证据表明,采用高品质,名牌汽车,在石油平均街摩托车,是在任何有害或效果较差,在提供适当的润滑和保护比用较昂贵摩托车特定油脂。
