Can motorcycle oil be replaced with car oil?
1 Answers
Motorcycle oil cannot be replaced with car oil; specialized motorcycle oil must be used. The working characteristics of motorcycle engines differ from those of car engines. Motorcycle engines operate at higher RPMs with faster acceleration, and car oil cannot meet the lubrication requirements of motorcycle engines. Engine oil is something every vehicle owner deals with, often referred to as the 'blood of the engine.' Without oil, an engine cannot function. Inside the engine, oil not only lubricates but also cleans, seals, cushions, prevents rust, and dissipates heat. When the engine is running, the oil forms a protective film on the surfaces of various components, preventing direct contact and friction between them.
