Yeah, the new number is around 86%...some don't think that's "far less".

5 quart oil change.
Next time you do one, put in 4.3 quarts of oil and .7 quarts of Brer Rabbit Molasses. It's the same color, should be pretty close.
Sometimes "close" is not really that close. That other 14% might be kind of important after all.

Whuuut ?
I love thinking about the days gone by. It isn't an old age thing either, most of my life I've enjoyed hearing and learning about times long ago.

Floyd Clymer was a pioneer in the sport of motorcycling. He was a racer, a motorcycle dealer and distributor, a magazine publisher, a racing promoter, an author, and a motorcycle manufacturer. He was inducted into the Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 1998 and into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America in 2020. Clymer attempted to purchase the Indian motorcycle brand in the 1950s, and was successful in buying it in the early 1960s. By 1967, he had begun distribution of Indian-branded minicycles, with Jawa, Morini Franco and Morini Minarelli engines and chassis components using names such as Papoose, Ponybike and Boy Racer. The success of these small machines lead Clymer to plan manufacturing large displacement Indian motorcycles again. Clymer, however, died of a heart attack in 1970, at age 74., and all that ended...
Oh, you know Clymer best from publishing hundreds of variations of these...

It was different back then. In a nutshell; young men were yearning for home when forced and dying at war, and an egghead decided that was a syndrome. They were labeled " nostalgic ".. not wanting to die.
