For eo once running in is over i always just change to fully synthetic, 15-50w...brand usually putoline or maxima

Your oil viscosity 15 only? So thin?

[eddictive]

Ok what... I using 10/50 which is too thick for my liking... Hehehe... Night guys, napping now... First race starts in 2 hours.... Woo hoo

my bike use for delivery, use 10/50 or 15/50 better ar guys??

But he is using 50w15! Look at where the w is.

I prefer a 40 as compared to 50. Both you state is a 50 oil. The number for the W not really important for our weather. Its the number after the W that is important.

hey spankers... would like to noe wats the best eo viscosity for our spank? tanx in advance...

Viscosity of the oil depends on individual IMO. Thicker oils tend to be "smoother" because it acts as a "damper" for the moving parts in the engine. It also takes a longer time to heat up due to it's "thick" nature. Thicker oils also don't offer the same protection as thin oils at high rpms because it doesn't get through in between the cylinder walls and the piston properly. Thinner oils also flow to engine parts easier so it offers better start-up protection.

 

thicker oil = higher startup viscosity = higher pressure = higher drag = more engine loading = less fuel efficiency

 

Most modern motor oils are formulated from various grades of oil so the oil will have the best characteristics of both thick and thin viscosity oils. Multi-viscosity oils flow well at low temperature for easier starting yet retain enough thickness and film strength at high temperature to provide adequate film strength and lubrication. Multi-viscosity grade oils have a wide viscosity range which is indicated by a two-number rating. Popular multi-viscosity grades today include 0W-20, 5W-20, 5W-30, 10W-30, 10W-40 and 20W-50. The first number with the "W" refers to the oil's cold temperature viscosity rating, while the second number refers to the oil's high temperature viscosity rating.

 

As mileage adds up and internal engine wear increases bearing clearances, it may be wise to switch to a slightly higher viscosity rating to prolong engine life, reduce noise and oil consumption. For example, if an engine originally factory-filled with 5W-30 now has 90,000km on it, switching to a 10W-30 oil may provide better lubrication and protection. The thicker oil will maintain the strength of the oil film in the bearings better so the engine will have more oil pressure. This will also reduce engine noise and reduced bearing fatigue (which can lead to bearing failure in high mileage engines).

 

For sustained high temperature, high load operation, an even heavier oil may be used in some situations. Some racing engines use 20W-50, but this would only be recommended for an engine with increased bearing clearances. Increasing the viscosity of the oil also increases drag and friction, which can sap horsepower from the crankshaft. That's why 20W-50 racing oil would not be the best choice for everyday driving or cold weather operation for most vehicles. The latest trend in racing is to run tighter bearing clearances and use thinner oils such as 0W-20, 0W-30, 5W-20 or 5W-30 to reduce friction and drag.

 

Motor oils that have a wider range viscosity rating such a 5W-30, 5W-40 and 0W-40 are blended with more base stocks and additives. Because of this, it may be harder for a wider range oil to remain in grade as the miles accumulate. They say it breaks down too quickly and does not say in grade as long as 10W-30 or 5W-30.

 

Understand kids?

Sorry double post.

[kitkettt]

im getting yoshimura pipe..but not sure which one is better,cone or tri-oval..which shop offer better price?

 

Tri oval nicer and unique sound.

Round cone louder.

 

performance wise not much difference.furthermore how fast can spark go right? haha

 

Prices for both ranges from 600-750 in most shops

[-ResiDue-]

another typo guys....it's 15W-50

Woah !!! The 125 category was AWESOME !!!

 

Timecheck: 2:05AM - 13 laps to go for Moto2 category !!!

 

And I can't keep my eyes open. Bleargh !!!

[STARRMOOOCHIE]

my bike use for delivery, use 10/50 or 15/50 better ar guys??

 

YAMALUBE sudah !!! Hehe..

 

15/50 Fully Synthetic good enough sir.

[STARRMOOOCHIE]

GOOD MORNING SPANKERS !!! Friday approaching fast. LOL.

[eddictive]

Sparkan, are you watching this Honda domination?? Whahaha....

[kitkettt]

Hmm.. And you claim you're on a stock set-up !?!? CONTRADICTORY !!!

 

Haha! All stocked! but then again, changing soon but dono how soon. HAHA. Busy and lazy go change

[h4hahak1m]

hey bro tanx... u remind me of sumone....! Dr AH PEK frm s4 non vtec...! Ups for ur explanation!

 

Who's that?

 

Haha! All stocked! but then again, changing soon but dono how soon. HAHA. Busy and lazy go change

 

Haha. Stock where got fun.

[h4hahak1m]

Honda angkat the first race for the season. Looks like it's gonna be an interesting one. All the young ones going up and the old favourites slacking. Wahahah

I learn something new everyday. Thanks.

Minah rempit in disguise.

 

Who's that?

 

Haha. Stock where got fun.

The ah pek that claims he's got the best concoction for eo?

 

I was hoping all honda on podium. Dovi was good. The battle for the 6th placing was exciting. So was the battle for the 2nd.

 

Is it me or did everyone suddenly lost the ability to multi-quote?

Have to say, Team Honda had a great start. But number 1 will come back on the 3rd.

Woah, one by one all becoming lacer.

 

Who's that?

 

 

 

Haha. Stock where got fun.

 

Stock uh relek.

[STARRMOOOCHIE]

Kudos to C.S. !!!!!!

Woah, one by one all becoming lacer.

 

 

 

Stock uh relek.

 

If stock is "relek"... I don't think you "relek" enuff ... Haha ...!!!
