OK but my bike is 2 stroke leh so wonder if my bike can use? Anyone knows or should I just just the gear oil? Which is better ha?

[Guest Demon_gal56]

I like the FUCH one too.... very smooth for the engine i suppose..

[xiaowang]

I like what Maxima has to offer but it seems like some people say that it is not suitable for Bandit because of Suzuki has made the clutch slightly more slippery. Is that true? ANy views on this? I ride a bandit myself.

its not better as in it'll affect ur machine but more like it'll affect ur pocket. engine oil has additional stuff inside to protect the engine as it goes thru the whole bike. gear oil only need to lube the gears, so doesn't need those additional stuff inside. So, its possible for the engine oil to be the same quailty as the gear oil but much more expensive cause of the aditional stuff inside

abit

sorry but to explain to both of them.

thanks mod

 

alanhim & ET

 

to add on to redname

correct me if im wrong.

 

2 strokes bikes is different from 4 strokes bikes.

 

the pistons in the 2 strokers are not immersed wif the Gear Oil when rider changed.

instead it will soak the gears of the bike.

 

so Gear Oil is for 2 strokers & Engine Oil is for 4 strokers.

 

[chris75]

tats explain y 2 stroke bike need 2T oil to lubricate the crank and gear oil for the gears..

[alanhim]

I see. So it's more important to have a better 2T than 4T right? Thanks guys.

[osiris]

yup

2 strokers need good 2T

always need to top up.

or else...

 

last time i used Rockoil Gear Oil for my 2 strokes bike.

not bad.

if u r comparing semi-syn to full-syn, it is the quality of oil tat is make from.

full-syn provides better protections n performance for ur engine.

most full-syn eo based on POA, ester or poly ester (best n most expensive).

don't buy those hydrocrack type tat claim to be full-syn, these r only dino oil based, it is the same as semi-syn (castrol r famous to have use this method for manufacturing their full-syn eo).

so tat means Castrol R4 is not fully Syn?

it is fully syn but made up of a low grade base oil whcih is used for semi-syn.

 

stsoh was toking bout the grade of the base oil only

i find the prices at planet moto one not bad, $20 & $22, i tink the diff is the SAE rate but both fully syn. u might wanna try racewreks at alexander, not sure of the price but he's prices for oil normally quite ok, u go check then post here can?

[Hong-U]

For my opinion:

 

2-stroke bikes use normal fully syn engine oil will do, for the gearbox.

Juz rmber to change it regulary, evry 5000km.

But 2T shd use the POWER POWER one, for lubricating the piston so that it "dances" smoother n faster!!

 

4-stroke bikes, esp "BIG COWS", shd use good grades of 4T for the engines, becoz it lubricates not only the gears, but the piston as well, in this case, pistons.

And also rmber to change regulary for optimum perfromance and life-span of the engine.

 

PS: You take care bike, bike take care you!

That time MotorX got special promotion..... now must check if they still have, if not there's a thread by the importer under "Advertisers" section, can check the various shops.
