After watching the video once, it occurred to me that he didn't mention the oil filter. So I watched it a second time, and sure enough, he didn't mentioned the oil filter. I did a search on oil filter spec and found that 20 micron is a common spec for motorcycle oil filters.
"How many microns is a standard oil filter?
20 microns
The key is to look for a filter that tests at the industry standard using particles at 20 microns using the ISO 4548-12 test. Particles in the 10-20 micron range cause the most damage and wear to an engine. FRAM Extra Guard is 95.7% efficient @ 20 microns using the ISO test."
The above was from FRAM
Since he didn't consider the oil filter, his conclusions could be right, or could be wrong. Could it be BMW has the best oil filter? Could it be the Chinese bike has no oil filter? Surely Ducati's have good oil filters, how could that oil have so much stuff greater than 20 microns?
