Car EO and Bike EO are different. Bike engine RPM is much higher then car engine. So it's not advisable, although the viscosity are the same

addition note:

if u must/want to use automotive/motor (car) oil, make sure it's API rating is not higher than SG or SH and with JASO MA rating.

Please try Amsoil synthetic Oil.

 

Since its a hi rev ceiling motorcycle, using oil belonging to Group IV PAO base stock will reaps benefits instead of using Hydrocracked Oil...

 

You can get them at Tachyon Motor.

castrol r4 (full syn) is considered under group III 1st class (hydrocrack processed, does not have PAO or ester additives).

other brands like amsoil, fuchs, motul, maxima, etc do have ingredient either PAO (group IV) or ester/poly-ester (group V).

the truly 100% full synthetic engine oil.

when buying full syn eo always look for PAO or ester/poly-ester.

Guys ,how about Mobil 1 .4 litre bottle. 5 -50?Is it ok for bikes?

[FORTUNA21]

2 strokers use gear oil. Cab try the Maxima MTL-Racing

 

sure anot 2 stroke use ''gear oil'' ??

[CoStar]

IMO, use 10w40 or use 15w40. singapore warm weather..so use less viscous engine oil.

Have anyone been using JB engine oil? Most of the time they say JB engine oil grade is lower? I have not tried using JB engine oil. Recently I bought a bottle of TOTAL engine oil from CARREFOUR for $5.50, I wonder anyone tried it? I have not actually changed to use it yet?

Hi Bro...

 

I highly suspect you have used the Pro 4 Plus 10W50... which is no doubt a race oil.

 

However, my question to you is, "In what conditions are you using your bike? Is it for daily commuting? Trackdays or Raceday ?"

 

The Pro 4 ( without the "Plus" ) series eg. Pro 4 10w40, is sufficient to use on daily rides and short trips while the Pro 4 15W50 would be recommended for long rides up north. These are also Race oils as per the Pro 4 Plus Series. What makes them different is the "Plus" has more additives for that particular extreme race requirement thus the higher price tag.

 

At Silkolene, we emphasize the usage of the right oil for the right purpose and many of our customers have benefited from this primary principle.

what e.o is recommended for wave?

[ozzarhomb]

confirm bro, my mechanic always use motul gear oil for my sp last time. very satisfied with it. never tried 4T in my 2 stroker before. :smile:

never put your trust in any mechanics even they r from reputable shops, most will screw up your bike.

always follow manufacturers' manual.

if i'm not mistaken, read sp owner's manual b4, it recommend 4T engine oil for gearbox.

many 2-strokers owners' manual recommends 4T engine oil in their gearbox.

reason is becoz of wet-clutch unless your bike is dry-clutch then gear oil is recommended.
