im banking in the "ceramic treatment"not being very effective/having trouble selling in NA/europe because... why would a 30 USD product be selling cheaper than 25USD across the pacific? (inclusive of shipping...) I smell something very amiss

aside from whats mentioned above... MAYBE lower (overall) revs= less need for si based anti-foam additives? just my 2C

Tried the Liquimoly MOS2 oil additiv on Mobil 1 racing 0W50 nothing much imho ... (maybe because M1 0W50 already has a boatload of moly? 1600+ PPM )

lets just say its... subpar why would Spectro want to list a low HTHS value ? hide your weakness!!

The problematic data as shown: and

nope, im just trying to find out the CORRECT viscosity out of the 2 data sets (obviously only one is correct)

How to find out the viscosity of a fork oil? I have gotten myself a quart of IP 20W fork oil The viscosity chart on 2 of its official documentation state it has a VI of 155 AND a cst@40 of either 45 OR 104 Im currently living in 20-25 deg C temps with mobil 1 racing 0W50/0W30 and redline...
