How Many Kilometers to Change Motorcycle Oil?
1 Answers
Most motorcycle engines require an oil change every 2,000 to 3,500 kilometers. It is recommended to regularly change the oil during normal vehicle use. Oil Selection: When selecting oil, the primary consideration should be the viscosity index. Speed (based on general driving conditions), engine load level, and temperature (depending on the driving environment) are the three main factors in choosing viscosity. The higher the speed, the lower the viscosity oil should be selected. The higher the load, the higher the viscosity oil should be chosen. The higher the temperature, the higher the viscosity oil should be used. Oil Quality Depends On: Base oil and additives. The quality of the base oil depends on: crude oil source and refining technology, synthetic process technology. Additives mainly include: anti-wear agents - reduce friction and wear, detergents - prevent surface deposits, dispersants - keep insoluble matter suspended, antioxidants - inhibit oxidative decomposition, corrosion inhibitors - prevent rusting of metal parts, friction modifiers - improve friction performance, demulsifiers - separate oil and water, pour point depressants - improve low-temperature fluidity, anti-foaming agents - reduce foam (air in oil) formation, viscosity index improvers - enhance viscosity-temperature characteristics, EP additives - control wear under extreme load conditions.
