Product : Engine Oil Discussion

[Isopropyl]

Nice price for the R4X! Good enough for normal commuting here. Why spend over $20 for a bottle. U can even half your oil change interval (super kiasu) and still cheaper. And better since u get a fresh dose of oil.

 

there is no reason to cut short OCI with this oil. Hehe...

Honda car filter same for Honda, yamaha and kawasaki bike. But it longer. So u have to make sure there's enough room to fit. Plus longer means slightly more oil needed. Maybe another 100ml more?

Quite subjective. Either follow your manual recommendation or through your checks.

I changed my oil between 8k to 10k km. But I'm riding an inline 4 cl2 bike with 3L plus oil sump.

More oil in sump means longer oil change. Though fuel dilution, moisture, high temp etc can affect oil degradation too. I just change mine every 5000km or 4 months whichever earlier. Manual recommends 10000km for oil change but I guess we need to give business to bike shops haha. Besides the oil bathes my valves, transmissions, clutch and alternator. So I feel assured whenever I change them as per my own schedule.

I am looking for SF grade 4T oil. Anyone has? Contact 96851190

any reason why it must be SF? it a very old standard. nowaday most motorcycle engine oil is at least a SG or higher.

 

right off my mind i can only think of some decent brand like Castrol Go which is an SE and SPC 4T plus which is an SF.

 

you can try going around especially Malaysia for some "brandless" oil. you might be able to find more choices for SF. good luck.

I change my EO every 1500km, oil filter every 2 oil changes.

But I'm using EO meant for those big diesel engines coz my bike is a 400cc single air-cooled...buy from Msia 50RM for 5L. Bike use 1.5L only so cheap cheap can change more often vs. use expensive and change less often.

[epidemic41]

anyone tried rimula 4x in super 4 before? not wanting to save money on eo but i believe in the cleaning properties of hdeo

[ber]

not on super 4 but a small single cylinder air cooled bike, the oil turned watery after 600km plus km. Super 4 the sump so big, should be no problems. buy from malaysia cheaper, see this thread.

All engine oil will be watery when u drain when its hot.

[ber]

I do my change differently from most people, I store in bottles before passing to a workshop when I am free.

 

its viscosity actually dropped, can tell when I move the bottle.

i think the only proper way to analyze the oil's properties is through a UOA. feel is never accurate. im sure of this because i really doubt a robust HDEO can become watery in a small single. mind you these are meant for really tough conditions in a diesel with turbochargers.

 

not saying the viscosity did not drop. it will, but doubt the difference can be felt by FEEL in just 600kms. some oils do drop viscosity early, but it maintains that for the rest of its service. others drop, and keeps dropping.

[Isopropyl]

some bike is pretty tough on oil. in many cases, the oil tend to stay in that viscosity after initial shearing. i pretty sure the engineer does take that into consideration.

 

since we don't have access to cheap UOA, we can only stay at the safer side by cutting down OCI.

 

but that a sad thing for mother earth:cry:
