Checked it and it still works. It's a page for Triumph owners but goes into a little detail about how bad some of these oil additives really are. I don't think they mention xcel or militec. http://www.vtr.org/maintain/oil-additives.html I am kind of down on any of these oil additives. I think using Duralube played a role in my my engine going from using almost no oil to burning almost a quart a week. This happened gradually over the course of a few months after I added it. This 4 year old engine had 140,000 miles on it when I administered the lethal injection so who's to say it wasn't just tired and that maybe I was a little stupid for not having left well enough alone. I can't help but to think that I may have been better off using nothing at all. -- Bob England http://www.pickleloaf.com email at bob (at) pickleloaf (dot) net
