Default Hogsnot oil ?

Has anyone heard of hogsnot oil? went to there web site and found some very interesting info there. There oil for Harley is a engine only oil and will not work in wet clutches, it will make them slip. this could be a good thing to utilize the fact that Harleys have seperate oil cavities. I dont know how to put a link in for you to go and look. Sorry. go check it out and let me know what you think. HOGSNOT OIL

I see it is not approved for catalytic systems. That tells me it has a higher content or zinc and possibly moly in it, which to a point can be benificial. Either one in excess can bring on other problems though. Would like to see the ppm of the additives before I run out and buy it. Notice how well the synthetics compared in the tests? Keep in mind also that the zinc/moly are a last ditch resort to prevent metal to metal contact. The hardly ever see any action and rarely do things get to the point that it's needed in a Harley. Now flat tappet cams, as in muscle cars this is the cats a$$ and extremely important as many have found the newer oils except deisel will destroy the cam. Personally I don't like the label or name on the bottle.

I kinda like the name a little, sounds like it should be a harley slogun..I just found it interesting and it kinda caught my attention. Ive heard about it at a few bike rallys and the guys that use it swear by it, i guess everone will swear by the oil they use though.

It would be interesting to see a voa, to see if this oil is at least equal to Harley's oil. lots of claims about performance and nothing to back them up.Its a dino oil at a cheap price, with "Nano" particles{whatever they are} .Funny I've read alot of uoa's and have never seen that category listed as something they test for.,,,
