If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to ask them. I would also like to add I am totally ok with the sceptisim that comes along with an oil additive.
One member commented on that an engine should never see 300f temps. Engine oil temps are mainly contigent on two factors. The level the bike is being ridden and type of terrian.
I have'nt done any testing on the cannondales. I have done more testing on all other motocross/offroad bikes than anyone we personally know of.
All of our testing is done with thermocouples in the oil bath. Most of the time we will have one in the water jacket and one in the radiator. The are either connedted to digital guages or data aquisition equipment.
In other words we can with data aquisition equipment log Multiple temps,lap times, split lap times,throttle position, mph,rpm etc etc. Then downlaod them and watch what happens to temps in real time.
Without ever testing a cannondale I can tell you that there are member of this board that can make engine oil temps in a dale well above 300f. maybe even 350f.
Also two2cool's main function isnt to lower oil temps. By carrying you oil and barrier additives towards hot sopts in your engine it keeps the heat from being generated in the first place. Lower all of your engine temps. Specifically your oil temps.

This is good information. Thanks for stopping in and helping us out. I will be giving you a call in the next couple weeks to get some of this to use on my own.
