Engine Oil - General Discussion

[ValenYono]

If I not wrong, size 7 is shorter, thus it will get hot very fast. Size 9 is wat is call a cold plug because it is longer(length), thus heat can dissipate easier.

 

What I mean for long distance use size 9 so that ur engine(if I not wrong) won't overheat as u ride for a pro-long period of time.

 

Size 7 is normally for smaller cc bikes. So that it can go into their normal working temperature fast enough (too cold engine is not good, must be rite working temperature than can function well).

 

So size 8 is good for Spore's start n stop riding.

[0yuan0]

can mix two 9 and 8 togther?

[HondaSuperFourHSF]

never do that...... will damage your engine.

[kktan]

iridium.,. for racing . if you drive safe safe type... dun waste money.

[duckit]

use backk orginal still the best .

iridium like no diff ...waste money onli

[cheeese]

got difference lah. Used to drive, use iridium plugs. got difference in fuel consumption. thats y consider to change 2 iridium plugs 4 my vtec 1

[HondaSuperFourHSF]

but the saving is enough for the saving of the cost of the plug?

[Guest enHANZed]

i also experienced better performance with iridiums ...could be psychological though

[captain_des]

guess it depends on the firing of the plugs..

from the combustion & dissipation of fuel

higher end models like the tapered splitfire etc are designed

to give you a cleaner & stronger combustion ratio in the piston chamber

thus saving yr pistons from heavy handed mech workshops that execute you

the moment you say piston jam

 

in a nutshell higher end plugs simply provid a cleaner combustion, fuel quality is also crucial but for singapore, no worries fuel wise quality is good enough our lowest is ron92, for other countries they still using ron90

hope this helps

 

 

cheers

[cheeese]

Agree wif desmondspencer there. Definitely more fuel efficient...hheee n power too

 

anyway...any guys know where's motoworld? heard there's motul 300v there...wonder if they sell iridium plugs too

 

cheers

For run in just find the cheapest mineral oil to run ur spec 3. Change oil often for the first 3000km and dont forgot the oil filter. After that use wat ever u want...

[skateboy]

brand new for running in can use semi syn oil...

then after run in depends on wat u wanna use liao...

 

all depends on individual... but dun use the wrong kind of oil esp cheap cheap ones... using the correct oil n good oil will protect ur engines...

[IceZ]

hachi right...as long as u change regularly...noneed to worry...

i always use motul...but the bad news is...no more stock liao..sobsob!

No lah, juz that I barely have time to know more about my bike before some 'driver' crashed his car into me...some way to drive. The bike spent the next few months in the carpark.

 

Basic service info I am still ok, juz that I dun want to spend that $40 towing just to change the engine oil and such. Silly rite...

Just realised that the oil warning lighted up only when the bike is started, after a sec gone liao. :|

 

For the knowledge management part, sounds good, but I think much of the basic knowledge are in the stickys liao.
