Yeah, although I at least know what that might mean. I really have no idea what they were after with "drilling on wood, with a mill or a morning coat," or why it doesn't go equally well with an evening jacket.

I think maybe Artificial Intelligence is not as intelligent as some think it is.

I wonder sometimes if this is one of those things where you buy it and then get a package with 2 lbs of heroin and a cheep drill bit.

So, maybe, "morning coat" is a code for "raw fentanyl?" Could be - stranger things have been true. But in this case, I'm more inclined to think it's bad AI translation of a mistyped unusual word like "mortiser."Originally Posted by George Yetka

Some of the overseas item description are truly insane and make no sense at all, others are a little confusing or even a bit comical.
I was looking for Diesel motor oil for my tractor, here is one of the photos in the listing.

It does look hot and, while very rare, there were Diesel bikes manufactured at one time.

Nice try
A company the size of Shell (28 billion in profit last year) can afford proper advertisements, proof readers and even translators.
Personally, it's getting tiring playing Sherlock Holmes for everything you purchase online. Just about everything you read has an error. There's not much you can feel safe about taking a face value.
If you don't know exactly what you're looking for, this can be quite problematic in some cases.

Lot's of reasons to complain about Shell, showing a picture of motorcycles riding thru the desert in an ad for Diesel motor oil is pretty low on my list.

It was a continuation of the OP's theme of unclear, misleading, imprecise product descriptions, good grief.
Not too many bikers are running 5-40 synthetic diesel oil in their bikes.

It annoys me how they will not let you be specific in a search. This morning I searched for a specific brand of footpegs that a general search said they had, and instead I got 300 cheap Chinese pegs. Now footpegs are something you don't want to let you down, no pun intended. I never found them and instead bought them from CRF's Only. Which I should have done in the first place. They used to be pretty good, but then so was Ebay.

T6 oil meets diesel and thus gasoline engine requirements. Yes it is better then needed by gas engines. Which do not face as high a pressures or temperatures. It is fine for gas or diesel engines in any vehicle including tractors.
Seems perfectly on point for your request. I think you are confused by what oil type you need.
I do not know if oil for diesel airplane engines would be okay or not. That would be an off label use.
Not like GL5 gear oils being bad for older gear sets with yellow metal.
AFAIK any diesel rated oil will work fine in a normal gasoline engine, not vice versa.

1. I know what oil I require for my equipment, I am not confused.
2.
- Full synthetic 5W-40 diesel engine oil with Triple Protection Plus technology protects against wear, deposits, oil breakdown, and improves low-temperature flow
- Exceptional wear protection for longer life in a wide range of heavy-duty engine applications — from pickup trucks to tractors to semi rigs
- Enhanced fuel economy capability of 1.5 percent without compromising engine protection or durability (compared to 15W-40 oils)
- Multi-functional dispersant additives provide an enhanced level of protection against the effects of soot, dirt, and other contaminants (compared to previous formulation)
- Increased shear stability for better viscosity control and optimal engine oil pressure
3. This is oil designed for diesel engines, it was an advertisement photo with motorcycles that don't use this type of oil. Do you understand why that's funny? Or do I need to explain it?
You guys are wrong, LET IT GO.

If you look closely at the label of the oil can in the ad, look's like a bike to me.

I dunno, my neighbor has a Harley that looks like it's using that stuff for fuel.
Yoga class makes me feel like a total stud, mostly because I'm about as flexible as a 2x4.
"Design"? Possibly. "Intelligent"? Sure doesn't look like it from this angle.
