Engine oil

Motul motor oil for a well-oiled machine
Changing your engine oil on time and keeping your oil level is essential for the preservation of your motorcycle. Oil provides lubrication in your engine block and the better you keep this up, the less hard your engine wear. Oil is a very broad concept and comes in many different types and variants. For example, you have oil for the car and oil for the engine with a considerable difference. Then you also have a difference in viscosity, which indicates the thickness of the oil in cold or warm conditions.

Difference between oil for the engine and oil for the car
There is sometimes still some confusion as to whether car oil also comes into its own in your motorcycle. The answer is no. Oil for a motorcycle is resistant to higher performance and ensures minimal stress on your engine. In addition, the oil of your motorcycle also lubricates the gearbox and clutch, which means that the oil has to meet other requirements.

Viscosity of motor oil
The most standard viscosity motor oil on the market is 10W40. The 10 stands for the thickness of the oil in the cold state and the 40 for the thickness of the oil in the warm state. The higher the number, the thicker the oil. Which viscosity you should choose for your engine depends on the climate and the working temperature of the engine.
