Had a friend who said he was considering removing the exhaust on his bike because it would sound cooler, everyone else in the friendgroup said we would pour sugar in his gastank if he ever did that

Sugar in the gas tank doesn't do anything. You gotta put in the oil fill cap.

Huh, yeah it seems the sugar in the gastank thing is just a myth, but won't sugar in the oil have the same issue? Sugar is insoluble so it can't pass through the oil filter, so it'll just chill in the filter and oil pan?

It will get in the moving parts, melt, caramelize, and seize the engine that way.
