Mix equal volumes of 15 and 10 to make 12.5. Really!

You need to mix two parts heavier oil(15W) to one part lighter oil(10W) to get 12.5W

Huh???!!!? Don't agree! Wouldn't that be 11.25? But I'm sure they get the gist Ben.

Viscosities are not linear functions (closer to, but not quite logarithmic). For viscosities as close as 7.5 and 10, the difference is probably not worth breaking out the scientific calculator.

So it's not straightforward maths.

All K2's came with preload adjusters - it was one of the only modifications for that model. They were included since.
