Sorry, It was all in name of information. I concede, but take some time to look through it.

So as long as you don't get completely untreated ULSD (highly unlikely), you will be okay with some of the others not at the top of the list.
I think another important thing is that they only allude to "more is better" when it comes to lubricity. What they don't get into is what the point of deminishing returns is. We don't know how much is needed. All it alludes to is more lubricity is better. Till what point? What is the wear graph like?

Looks like the guy is a big fan of using 2 cycle oil. I think I'll stick with BD or DK -- been working for me so far...

I use DK with every tank and am using Bio all the time. The station next to my work where I fill up has only Bio...no dino.
