This is interesting...

Failure to use the right oil, use proper filtration, or observe proper changing intervals can affect the performance of even the best motor oil. This also includes changing the oil too often. Against conventional wisdom, engine wear decreases as oil ages to a certain extent, which means that changing your oil more frequently actually causes engine wear; these findings were substantiated by studies conducted by the auto manufacturers and petroleum companies. With this knowledge in hand, using a quality motor oil with proper filtration and suggested drain intervals, as recommended by Porsche, is the best thing to do for your engine and to protect your investment.

Can I use a car motor oil in a motorcycle?

Although we are discussing Porsches, I thought I should clarify this point. You should always use a motorcycle oil in a motorcycle, especially one that meets the required specification, such as the JASO-MA and others, since the motor oil has in most cases a dual purpose of lubricating the gearbox and some have to deal with a wet clutch. In a pinch there are some car motor oils that will do the job, but why skimp when you can use the real thing?

So, dry clutch bike like Ducati, Vespa and BMW can use Car oil...

I think Porche recommends Mobil 1, but then again, their studies were based on a cars' engine, their Flat 6 I presumed. Cars' engine and Bikes' engine are built differently and runs differently so are such comparison and cross over application valid http://www.advrider.com/forums/images/smilies/headscratch.gif Just look at the cc to HP ratio between a car and a bike engine, the bike engine is definitely more highly strung http://www.advrider.com/forums/images/smilies/ricky.gif

The next question would be, why not use bike's engine oil in a car's engine then http://www.advrider.com/forums/images/smilies/pot.gif

Just my 2 chiam worth....

Yo SDR, you wanna try some puay kee U? We use Mobil MJ02 http://s3.amazonaws.com/advrider/mwink.gif

Car using Motorcycle oil - Mr Jeffrey of Papa Milo Limo support tt, he uses it on his then Alfa Romeo and I was influenced by him, I tried on my Suzuki GTi but sadly, I don't feel much difference and motorcycle oil used to be more expensive than car oil... now, m/c oil seem cheaper...

What about the claims by specialty motorcycle oil manufacturers, that their oil is better?
That's a good one. Next time you hear that line, simply ask, "What evidence do you have?" Chances are, there is no evidence. If you do get any, please let me know!

Why are motorcycle oils so much more expensive than automotive oils?
Cost of doing business is higher per quart of motorcycle oil. Large oil companies make so much more product that their profit margin per quart does not have to be so high. Some motorcycle oils may actually offer less protection than SJ automotive oils.

Yo PL,

Looks like your holding back will pay dividend. BMW is introducing traction control and anything that will improve bike safety gets a http://www.absolutepunk.net/images/smilies/june07/thumbup.gif in my book.....

BMW is continuing its strategy of launching models spread out through the year. With the new R 1200 R comes a very special option for a road bike-traction control. BMW calls it ASC (Automatic Stability Control). For the traction control to work you also need the ABS option at 1000 Euro extra. Traction control and ABS could make this bike the safest wet weather and winter bike ever. The R 1200 R is an evolution of the old R 1150 R (as featured in the latest Hollywood blockbuster Ultraviolet with Milla Jovovich) much in the same way as every other big BMW Boxer, R1200GS, R1200S and so on. The new engine has received a mixture of performance that has placed it in between the GS and R1200S models. BMW claims 109bhp @ 7.500rpm and 115Nm @ 6.000rpm. That is enough power to make the R 1200 R Roadster stand up vertically on its Paralever EVO wherever you want it to. Unless the traction control is switched on that is... A brand new ABS system has also been launched. The claimed dry weight is the same, fairly lightweight for a 1170cc Boxer, 198kg as the R 1200 GS.

You can order ASC with any Boxer engined BMW from next year with the exception of the R1200S model. You will also be able to get ASC with the four cylinder K1200GT, but it is not clear yet whether ASC will be available on the more powerful K1200S and R already next year. It could mean that the system needs to be tested more thoroughly in high speed and track scenarios before BMW has a system ready for the R1200S, K1200S and K1200R. We have asked BMW the question and will update this article as soon as we know why the system is not ready for the more powerful sportsbikes yet. All sorts of accessories are ready for the new bike with the same luggage options as on the big tourers ST and RT as well as a fly screen. The ASC has been demonstrated today in Berlin on gravel and it is fairly impressive one of my colleagues reported from Berlin. The main point about the ASC is that it is a safety feature, not a track tool. BMW still has loads of work to do before it can offer the system to its sportsbike customers for trackdays.
