Can a Scooter Motorcycle Use Car Engine Oil?

[EmiliaLynn]

Scooter motorcycles cannot use car engine oil. Detailed explanation of why scooter motorcycles cannot use car engine oil: Because the engine temperature and rotational speed of scooter motorcycles are higher than those of car engines, the lubricating effect of the oil can easily be reduced under high temperature and high-speed agitation. However, in practical use, since the transmission clutch part of scooters does not require oil lubrication and they are mostly used for short-distance, low-speed commuting, as long as the oil is of qualified quality with the appropriate grade, ensuring it is genuine, suitable for motorcycle use, and changed regularly, it can still be used. Differences between scooter motorcycles and cars: Rotational speed, compression ratio, volumetric efficiency, heat dissipation, and operating range. Therefore, motorcycle engine oil must not only have good lubrication effects but also excellent transmission lubrication and cooling effects. This shows that motorcycles have higher requirements for engine oil.
