Engine Oil

[Refugee]

It is a semi syn after all. Hydrocracked, hydroprocessed, all means semi syn base. Same as Conoco.

[pyro13]

Not Unique's fault, they just following what OWS recommended to sell at.

 

Semi syn is semi syn, they just using a marketing term to call it 'synthetic'. It very common nowadays, so you won't know what you are getting unless you stick to the well established high performance brands.

not quoting unique at fault actually... but just doing a comparison... since both their prices are displayed in forums...

 

without people like you, we wont even know its semi or fully synt.. cos the packaging isnt amatuer friendly... however, i'm already doing what you said.. stick to the established brands... both Motul and Maxima on my list..

 

p.s. time to edit your signature... all your links dun work..

I tink OWS only have semi syn

[Refugee]

oh well... the bottle doesnt suggest its semi synthetic actually....

 

the last i checked, it doesnt say 'i'm semi"..

 

haha... now we all know

[SmallCC]

Well the bottle got said special OWS synthetic additive added. But dunno how many percent.

[pyro13]

but seriously..wat OWS stand for??

[skazuz]

i though OWS ia 10w 40.. so its fully syn?

a few posts earlier from a person who is in the lubricant market suggests that OWS is semi synthetic....

Ok, here's a lesson in reading in between the lines, taken direct from OWS website http://www.ows-germany.com/lubricanta.html

 

On the 10W40 "hydrocrack" (which is what we're seeing here for the bikes)

OWS 10W40 Multilight is a high performance light running HC synthetic engine oil designed for use in modern Japanese & European engines with tight tolerances. Turbo proven and possessed brilliant performance & fuel economy qualities.

 

On the 5W50 (which is much more expensive)

OWS 5W50 is a high performance 100 % Synthetic engine oil that is developed for the modern high powered multivalve Japanese and European engines. Turbo tested and proven, providing excellent protection under extreme conditions.

 

So is it possible that OWS can make a "more synthetic" than synthetic 10W40? For those who are familiar with what hydrocrack is, it is obvious that it is a semi syn from a pure performance standpoint. Google hydrocrack, plenty of info.

can anyone intro me a good engine oil to use? i really dunno what to use..

 

HELp!

[Ashcroftx]

u would prefer semi synthetic or fully synthetic?

 

I believe there are lotsa brands to choose.

 

1)OWS

2)Maxima

3)Fuchs Silkolene

4)Motul

5)Yamalube

 

 

These are the main ones which are suitable for cubs.

i would perfer a fully.. but i still using semi now.. 3400km le.. i should change to fully.. haha what does all those 10-40w means? should i use a 20-40w or 15-40w or 10-40w? is it the lower the number the better?

[pyro13]

yamalube is good rite??

 

i tink one whole bottle 10 bux??

 

i recommend MOTUL!

[pyro13]

our bike recomended in 10 w 40

 

the ratings are the viscosoty, which means the thickness.

 

10w40 is thinner, so u have to change EO faster but its very smooth.

 

i have seen 20w50 but havent tried tat yet though

for a start, try this..

 

Motul 5100 Semi Synthetic 15W50... its around 13-15 bucks...

 

if you're lazy to track mileage, change monthly or every 2 months.

 

if you're hardworking to track mileage, change every 1500 - 2000km (semi synt)

 

fully synthetic ones lasts slightly longer usually... 2500-3500...

no lah... why say can use semi only? i never say wot... semi is just nice for cubs... cos not too ex... and yes, fully synt oils feels smoother and lesser vibrations.

 

the brands are listed above already... Personally, i've tried Motul 300V 10W40 ($23-25)... Maxima Extra 15W50 ($21-23)... fully synt ones...

[ANR Impex]

I think semi syn will do OK in a cub too. The Maxima Synblend 10W40 is getting increasingly popular for its lighter feel. The Synblend 20W50 is a thick and durable oil, but may be a little heavy on cold mornings.

[Ashcroftx]

Yeah, to be since u would like to try engine oils.

 

I would suggest to you Unique Motorsport's OWS Package.

 

Basically, they would give you an OWS Irridium Spark Plug (One of the best).

 

and a Bottle of OWS 10W40 Engine Oil. For Oil filter, it depends, one time

 

change one time dun change.

[Cool-Clown]
