Can a Motorcycle Recover After Adding Oil Following Cylinder Scoring?

[DelAsher]

Adding oil after a motorcycle experiences cylinder scoring cannot restore it, as cylinder scoring is permanent damage. The only solution is to fit a new piston and replace the four-piece set. Introduction to Engine Oil: Engine oil, also known as motor lubricant, with a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³), serves to lubricate and reduce friction in the engine, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of a vehicle. Engine oil consists of two main components: base oil and additives. The base oil is the primary constituent of the lubricant, determining its fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and enhance the shortcomings of the base oil, imparting new characteristics, making them a crucial part of the lubricant. Requirements for Lubricants: As a type of machinery, engines share common lubricant requirements with general machinery, such as appropriate viscosity, certain anti-oxidation, anti-wear, anti-corrosion, and viscosity-temperature properties. However, engines are also a special type of machinery, and their lubricant requirements have unique aspects.
