Motorcycle Oil

Every motorcycle needs motorcycle oil, but choosing the right motorcycle oil can be challenging. When looking at what type of oil to use there are generally three different types which are mineral oil (this is your “regular” oil), synthetic blend, and fully synthetic. What new motorcyclists don’t know is that the engine of a motorcycle runs a lot faster than a car engine on a consistent basis.
Where a car might only run 2000 to 3,000 RPM’s (revolutions per minute) a motorcycle will run up to 10,000 on average. That is 3 to 4 times as much stress on the engine compared to your normal car.

Another huge problem that arises with motorcycle oil is that it tends to fall to the bottom of the oil pain. That means if the engine has been sitting overnight the motorcycle oil is not in the engine. This means when you start the cycle up, for a split second it has no protection.

The Judgment on Motorcycle Oil

The final judgment on motorcycle oil is really up to you. However, if you are wondering what the best possible motorcycle oil is, it’s full synthetic. Full synthetic will allow your engine to run smoother and it’s less likely to be effected by lower temperatures causing that split second of no protection at startup to be as minimized as possible.
