What Type of Engine Oil Should a Underbone Motorcycle Use?
1 Answers
For underbone motorcycles, it is recommended to use motorcycle-specific engine oil with a grade of SF or above and a viscosity of 10W-40. Here are some details about engine oil usage: Applicability: Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) oil is generally more suitable for the engine. Depending on specific needs, engine oils may also offer features such as noise reduction, fuel efficiency, or enhanced performance. Functions: During engine operation, high temperatures are generated. As the oil circulates inside the engine, it helps dissipate this heat, aiding in cooling the engine. Additionally, it prevents exhaust gases from entering the crankcase. Precautions: Engine oil becomes increasingly contaminated and oxidized during use. Excessive impurities can clog oil passages, potentially leading to engine failure. Overfilling the oil can increase fuel consumption. Therefore, the oil level should be maintained between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick. Adding other additives on your own may degrade the oil's overall performance.
