Engine oil..

[rivx]

What is a good syn engine oil in SG for 600cc race bikes? I only ever used Nutec which is only in Japan. Hopefully i'd be able to get them in 20L drums which should be cheaper than buying them by the litre!

Motul 300V Factory is good however i change my oil ever 5 hours....that is one huge chunk of change. I gotta look for alternatives.

Oil change every 5 hrs? More extreme than F1! Can share why?

Its a race bike...and its constantly running at high RPM...10k - 13k at most times..on avg.

Any i only do a full overhaul the engine every 1hr. Then again it all depends on how hard you ride it as well...

My bike is 5yrs old and it is still very competitive to the newer 2011 600cc. Its a little different from the street bikes. I don't know if these white bikes are available here in SG. These bikes run hot and cooling is only available when its being ridden, these are no fans to cool it when it runs past 90C.

Generally the oil change for me is a cheap affair compared to me busting my engine up. But having said that the oil here ain't as cheap from what i hear.

THE JSB guys in Japan some change the oil every 2hrs of use! That is like 4 sessions...

At my level i don't think there is a need for it.

If you think oil change is too quick...i change my tires every 6hrs of use...depending on the compound.
