I would love to see the "analysis" done by that original poster on the other forum, because, while I have continually heard of folks getting excellent results from a blend of synthetic motor oil and OMS, I've got $20 says he's full of schidt if he thinks that's all that goes into ProLink. And I'll bet anyone else who's spent any time around both motor oil/OMS homebrews and ProLink will agree.

That being said, I've recently stopped using either homebrews or ProLink and started using NFS ...which completely goes against the OP's desire not to spend a fortune on a tiny bottle of bike-specific lube!
