Can Motorcycles Use Full Synthetic Car Engine Oil?
1 Answers
Scooters can not only use full synthetic car engine oil but also semi-synthetic oil. This has nothing to do with the engine—any engine that requires oil can use it. However, it is best not to use it for cross motorcycles. Although using it on cross motorcycles won't cause any problems for the engine, it may lead to clutch issues, such as slipping. The advantages of full synthetic engine oil are as follows: 1. Excellent low-temperature fluidity: Full synthetic oil has low viscosity and a high viscosity index, which helps save energy during cold starts, accelerates oil film formation, reduces dry wear on engine components during cold starts, and extends engine life. 2. Outstanding high-temperature oxidation resistance: Synthetic oil's thermal oxidation stability is superior to mineral oil, ensuring performance stability over long-term use, which is one reason why synthetic oil has a longer maintenance interval. 3. Low evaporation loss: Synthetic oil has much lower evaporation loss than mineral oil, improving fuel economy, reducing exhaust emissions, and extending the lifespan of catalytic converters. 4. Superior cleaning performance: Full synthetic oil contains higher TBN content, effectively neutralizing acidic substances produced by oil oxidation, preventing particle deposits, cleaning pistons and cylinders, avoiding deposit formation, and thus maintaining engine cleanliness and extending engine life.
