Engine Oil

[bezet]

can i use engine oil for car in motorbike??

hai bezet. i really like to give my opinion but u did not state whether its for 2 stroke motorcycle engine or 4 stroke one.

1. 2 stroke engines have different mechanicals and the lubricant used must be easily burnt as they mixed with air-fuel mixture for combustion. normal engine oil is not as easy to burn as specially formulated 2T oil. they must also able to give good lubrication as these engines (like in my Kawasaki KR150Z) tend to reach high speed easily. my bike is capable of doing 11,000rpm at 205km/h even though red line is 10,500rpm.

2 stroke engines has dry oil sump so, its gearbox need separate lubrication and this is done by using 4T oil.

so, answer to your question is NO.

2. on the other hand, normal 4 strokes moped (or kapcai) it very similar to normal motorcar engines with needs to lubricate valve train and camshaft. the engine need to be as compact together with its gearbox, and as 4 stroke engines have wet oil sump, they have the transmission and the primary drive attached together. unlike in cars, where engine and gearbox use different grades of oil, 4 strokes motorcycle use the same oil to lubricate both. thus the 4T oil is also specially formulated for that need.

again, the answer is NO. but it would be of no harm in case u want to use such oil for motorcycles. but i strongly do not recomend such practise.

well, if u insist to do so...gud luck to u! :)

My experience...I'm using Maxoil 20/50 use for Kriss 110 motorbike. Nothing happen and very smooth comparing 4T oil that sold at motorbike shop.

 

[anfernee]

yeah lor heard can use motorbike oil in vtec engine... anyone can confirm this ar ?? they say more power and smoother during high rev ??

 

[bezet]

my moto is Honda ex5 and yamaha 110cc. have this petronas synthium 800 engine oil lying around. so this oil cannot replace the 4t that we use in our motobike. so sad.

 

[dzach2]

i saw it in hong kong video lor
put 4 liter of 4T to b16a
nothing much
1-100 8.XX secs
before oil change 9.XXsec

then again, before oil change, the engine oil dirty like mad

you can use the normal engine oil meant for cars in a 4stroke motorbike, but semi-syntetic & fully syntetic iam not surelah........last time i had car & bike (EX5) so the balance oil for the car i use lah for my EX5...no side effect & all that....it was more smother & better....i used the bike more than 4 years
