OK, so VOA is Virgin Oil Analysis. Is that the base stock or the oil "In the bottle"?
And would "UOA" be Used Oil Analysis? What is HTHS?
Always good to see cold hard facts instead of "I've been using 'Brand X' for 10 years and never had a problem".

Sorry I don't have a home page or anything like that.
What I do for a living is work in the synthetic lubricants industry.
I lecture at 18 different campuses around the country on the fundamentals of basic lubrication. Including what's true and what's not when it comes to what you see posted on the net.
I work with all kind of race teams all the way from SCCA solo1 to F1. I don't work on the cars just the lubricants.
And I have been lucky to get to work with some of the best builders in the US and have been invited to work on 7 different TV shows.
So that's me
just a car guy that likes bikes also.
One last thing that might give it away
My 61 Panel truck and 05 chopper were just on the Power Block on Spike
