[Leviathan3018]

cool story, bro.

[bmw295]

This was just one big add for shell.

"SHELL VMAX FUEL IS OPTIMIZED TO PERFORM WELL WITH SHELL OIL HURDUR"

Yeah... sure it is bud...

[sameerology]

@bmw295 Yup it was...

[skogsgud]

buuullshit

[OlesonFam]

lets just say im using shell from now on!! lol

[ikkeaxel]

its stil works what hapend?:O

[acidburn1993]

how does the oil have anything to do with the fuel, one powers the engine the other lubricates it i dont see how one can have an impact on the other its just a load of bull

[tallica1988]

@acidburn1993 That's because you sir are a moron. Go and do some research.

[acidburn1993]

@tallica1988 well yea if engine is well lubricated there is less fuel consumption but you cannot "optimise" the fuel to work with the oil they dont mix

[Ratio21]

@acidburn1993 The only thing I could think of that might be added is some sort of protection against blowby gasses that blow past the piston, haha but other than that, its bull, its a shame ducati would let them say that too..

[pandora655]

so this is an oil commercial? ghey

[PedroGurkevicz]

V-Twin is from Harley Davidson. Ducati is L Twin

[CombatWombat1985]

they Switched Inlet and Outlet Times in Animation.

No one Noticed??

The Engine in Animation gets Fuel and Air from the Exhaust and blows it out trough the Airbox.

Hahaaaa

[ianh4444]

@CombatWombat1985 I noticed! If they can't get that right, how on earth are we meant to believe that ''the oil has been optimised to work with V-Power fuel''!!!

[motokrack]

fuckin advert for shell ,,, fuck off

[DaFred1990]

shell shell... shell shell shell, shell shell... shell shell shell, shell shell

[ps3isdasht]

My 02 R6 will smoke any ducati

[ailocin]

@ps3isdasht yes.. when it's caught fire..

[andresarahuete]

Intake and exhaust are worng...

[vegardwitsoe]

The fact that the voiceover is instructed to say "shell" at least 300 times per sentence only makes you annoyed and just makes you hate the product.

Plus, the american style ads dont suit a italian product at all.

[IAmJacksUsername100]

every time i see these short educational vids on new tech. they remind me of the video discks from doom 3 lol

[viasevenvai]

@IAmJacksUsername100 yes!

[zZzZzZSampa]

soooo shell paint the motor yellow??

[Karl2294]

That's why Shell has been bought over and is now Topaz? Yes.. I see how great is is.. not.

[waterfordjim]

I just SHIT MY PANTS.  :-D

[randud76]

Mixture does not "explode" like shown it the video, it deflagrates.

[1978smartass]

Shell fuel screws up my motorcycle engine.

Put shells in your engine, see what happens.

Shit, Hell.

[Mephistocbrxx11]

How about lubricating my dyck!!!

[easygoingeddy]

i wonder who the sponsor for this video is...

[Vollhirni]

@easygoingeddy My best guess would be Total. But I could be wrong.

[micke240sx]

They have mixed up the valves ^^ isn´t the exhaust in the rear? ;)

[ariekabaalstra]

@micke240sx Yes.. it is... it used to be like the video on the old pantah engines.. Good one!

[shunowolf]

All this "L twin" vs "V twin" debate is about as pointless as debating the differences between a square and rectangle.

[sonicboomracing]

this title sounds like a porn name for bikes

[melvintjuh999]

mm... intresting...

just get the fuck outta here with your shit vids!

we wanna see races and not how the fuck it's working...

TOO HEAVY!

[EJConrad]

so there's no trans fluid... just engine oil?

[theD00Mer]

Hey Shell,

why don't you start selling V-Power engines for further integration and optimization of you fuel and oil :-P

[bboyrenzo]

"our product-has been optimized to work with our product-so you can by more of our product!!"

[mrbluenun]

If you believe this bullshit you will believe pigs can fly!

On the other hand, why not just tell us how the engine works and how the oil, ANY OIL helps! Have never seen such a load of bollocks and such obviously hyped spiel in my life!

[CaptainTurkeyGiblets]

Inside the engine is covered in oil..Who woulda thought eh?

:P

[atsugnam0]

Nearly all V format engines are 90 degree V angle, the L-twin is a Ducati marketing spin, it's a V twin engine in format.

[SondeBeeches]

@atsugnam0 I wouldn't say nearly all. Hardleys and ktm superbikes don't have 90 degree v twins. 

[atsugnam0]

@SondeBeeches two motorbike manufacturers is not a significant portion of the V format engines in production today. The following automotive marques do produce 90 degree V motors:

GM, Ford, Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai, Kawasaki, Honda, Ducati, Suzuki, Mitsubishi, Yamaha, Kia, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Volvo, Alfa Romeo, Porsche, VW, Mazda and probably a few more I cannot remember.

[SondeBeeches]

@atsugnam0 Well if you include multi cylinder engines and auto manufacturers, that changes things quite a bit eh? Regardless, Ducati seems to have got their marketing right as their 90 degree v twin is one of the most recognized.

[joseabreu00]

Bullshit Shell Advertisement. They have done the total opposite, now ppl really wont buy shell anything!

[Lex5151]

I guess we can find this magic oil by ducati logo put on and/or tripled price.

Then what? Change every 1,5k miles?

Nice try, jerks!

[Wishmaster50000]

Thanks for this video, now i know that Shell oil works like all other oils out there ... incredible.

[x481x]

Ducati does not produce 'V' twins. They produce 'L' twins....just sayin....

[Davetts92]

@x481x But an L is actually nothing but a tilted 90° V-Engine. But your'e right.

[madmik80]

@Davetts92 actually, an L twin is an L twin, because a letter V has no right angles, Therefore a duke is an L twin, i should know, i have been building and racing them for 40 years!

[x481x]

@madmik80 Thank you!! You're the first person I've seen that's replied with an intelligent response. :D

[SCJohnson77]

@x481x Still a V

[lnromandude]

@x481x

L-twin = 90 degree V-twin

[lnromandude]

@x481x

L-twin = 90 degree V-twin

[x481x]

@lnromandude L-twin refers, in fact, to a configuration with a 90 degree angle between the two cylinders, where the forward cylinder is nearly parallel to the ground.

[lnromandude]

@x481x

yes indeed...thanks for agreeing with what i said

[dexxy45]

@x481x please.......

[x481x]

@dexxy45 L-twin refers, in fact, to a configuration with a 90 degree angle between the two cylinders, where the forward cylinder is nearly parallel to the ground.

[dexxy45]

@x481x so........... in a "V" shape?

[baneshield]

@x481x FYI, L-engine is also known as 90º V-engine.

[x481x]

@baneshield FYI, an 'L' is a 90 degree angle and a 'V' is not. That's why Ducati refers to their engines as 'L-twins'. :)

[baneshield]

@x481x so can I say wikipedia ain't right?

[x481x]

@baneshield Wikipedia may say something different than what I'm stating, and that's fine. I've grown up surrounded by motorcycles and Ducatis in particular because my family owns a Ducati dealership. I'm just basing what I say off of Ducati service literature.

[dainese900]

@x481x or 90° V - Twins ;)

[x481x]

@dainese900 Go read through the previous comments. A 'V' is NOT a 90 degree angle, it's simple really.

[dainese900]

@x481x Sure, you're right. The now official name for those twins is L - Twin, so far so good. But the v - twin was invented in 1888 by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach. Every following V - twin simply was called V - Twin + the degree of his cylinders. The so called L twin was invented in 1963 ( by Ducati ). Until 1970, this invention was called 90° V- Twin, until when in 1970 the term L - Twin was born ( by Ducati ). But the reason was not the angle of 90°

[dainese900]

@x481x the reason was the position of the motor in the bike. one cylinder is "lying" the other one is standing.that looks like an L. Now take a L ( and imagine both lines have the same length, and thats how it is, both cylinders have the same lenght ), und put it upright so it's standing on the corner. For me that looks more like an V like L now. So the term 90° V Twin is not wrong at all. L twin is just a label name of ducati for the twins of ducati.

[lolzordje123]

@x481x true up until now, their new block has 1199cc and it is going to power the new ''panigale'' which will come out soon. This block has a less than 90 degree angle, so basically, its no longer an L-block, but a V-block. Still, DUCATI POWER!!!

[aneeshkotru]

@x481x L twin is a V twin with 90 deg angle, so basically it 'is' a V twin. It comes under the V twin family.

[x481x]

@aneeshkotru Please go read through my previous comments. I'm tired of explaining this to people like you that reply to the top rated comment.

[aneeshkotru]

@x481x Well ur stating the literal meaning and many other like me state the general meaning. Both are right. Fact is that they are beautiful engines on beautiful bikes.

[baneshield]

@x481x

what u said once right, duc produce L-twin. if u say that 90 degree v-twin ain't v-twin, u wrong. a called v-twin doesn't designated by specific range of degree.

what makes duc L-twin coz the front cyls is nearly paralel to the ground. check your literature, and get another helpful source.

[x481x]

@baneshield You sir, are retarded. Btw, 97 people (and counting) agree with me. U mad bro?

[baneshield]

@x481x which one? the L-twins? not the statement sayin 90 deg v-twins ain't v-twins rite? so sir, i may be retarded, but please don't say things proving you are much retarded than me. lol

[xushenxin]

this stupid commercial doesn't make sense to me~

[iRenaatsouvagie]

Yeah right, just like any other oil brand than shell isn't gonna lubricate the engine :/

Nice animation though

[DolleHengst]

Fuck Shell

Best engine oils are Liqui Moly and Castrol !!

Agip and Elf are also very good.

[IPGAuto]

@DolleHengst - Castrol? I think not

[erniethefart]

@DolleHengst Yeah Ferrari uses Shell in formula 1, i think that says enough. Who has the most championships in formula 1? Ferrari

[michelvhons]

@DolleHengst and Mobile 1 ?

[badmanners411]

"Shell oil has ben optimised to work with Shell V-Power fuel"

Bollocks!

[meda789]

@badmanners411 hjhahaha why do u say that? its bullshit though

[badmanners411]

@meda789 It's just marketing hype. I'm sure they make the oil as well as they can (or as well as they want to), and the fuel too, but to say they're matched is fantasy, I think.

[lucifer244]

yes, mate Hong kong is a small village...

[lucifer244]

oh, thanx duci... we have on every corner shell  (v -power ) petrol station...

[cl7james]

dear lucifer244 : i use the shell  (v -power ) petrol station too in hong kong.
