A local dealer had a dyno shoot out on Saturday. My buddy shows up on his '01 ZX12. He wasn't going to run, but a Redline Oil rep conviced him that he would get a free oil change if he ran a before and after to see how many horses he gained with Redline Oil. 
So.... My buddy agrees. He was runnin' regular kawasaki oil 10W40 and pulled 162hp at the wheel. Gets his oil changed to 20W50 Redline Oil. A little thicker, but the rep swears he will get an increase. Jumps back on the dyno and pulls 159hp at the wheel. The rep starts giving excuses about the change blamin' my friends bike.
So anther guy steps in with his bike, same agreement and guess what? 3 horses lost again. Rep is not seen after this. :lol Not bashin' Redline, just tellin' a funny story about a dumbass rep. They only had 20W50 and so they put that in and the rep assumed that there would be a hp increase. Obviously not. Oh well, my buddy got a free oil change and a good laugh.
