OMG! ty so much scoobydoo & SW9000!! Sori i abit noob.. SW9000 was mentioning (Gear eo) so wad gear eo to use? 10W40 MOTOR OIL = 10w40 fully synthetic engine oil? Lol sori noob here...

To make things easy... simply use the same engine oil for BOTH the engine bay and the final drive.

 

In a nutshell, gear oil and the engine oil we put into the crank case/engine bay are different, although both are "motor oil". Gear oils are a type of motor oil formulated specifically for transmissions, transfer cases, etc. However, this heavier oil may cause viscous drag, impairing the efficiency of the oil reaching into finer areas. They are usually more "sticky" to better protect the gears in action. Engine oils are specially formulated for use in the hot and pressurized engine compartment (crank case/engine bay) and cylinders, to provide lubrication and cooling to engine parts like, con rods, pistons, etc.

Although most motorbikes/scooters uses gear oil for their transmission gears, the SW is an exception.

 

Gear oils' multigrade ratings are different from those of engine oils; higher numbers are used; see pic below.

e.g. a 75W90 gear oil have similar viscosity as that of a 10W40 motor oil. Sounds similar but they are NOT the same and MUST NOT be interchangeably used. However, the SW's final drive is an exception, using 10W40 engine oil according to Honda's service manual.

Think of it this way (extreme scenario)... imagine putting the 75W90 gear oil into the engine bay instead of the 10W40 motor oil. Any sensible mechanic will tell you that's not right.

 

If any smart alec try to convince you their two are the same becos they both have similar viscosity, challenge them to run their engine using the gear oil... see what they say

This construction worker here will clap hand and say... ho say liow!!!

I just earned a 2nd hand SW-T400 this morning! What a start to the New Year.

 

Story goes like this:

 

On Sat, went to collect school uniforms for the kids and bought some durians for wify.

Upon return parked the bike at MSCP. Took out everything... except the keys. WTF!!!

 

Only found out this morning (3 days liao) before leaving the house that the bike key was not with me.

Heart pounding, took a spare key and went to carpark.

 

Saw the bike... wahsey, so relieved.

Some good person kept the keys in my box. Lucky, right?

 

This my 2nd time totally forgotten about bike key. The last time was years ago on my 1st SW.

Since I already got my surprised bonus (bike returned), guess no more extra luck (allocated) with 4D liao.

wa. I know what you mean! It happened to me a few years back, someone kept the keys underneath my tank bra of my super4. No wonder that 2 years didnt win any toto/4d....

 

but hor, I once found the key on a vespa gt200 at Wheelock place, took out the keys, put it at the corner of the seat. But hor, 1 week later, I go to wheelock place, the bike's still there...
