1. Overview of Oil and Its Functions for Motorcycles

Lubricating oil, also known as oil, is responsible for lubricating the engines of motorcycles, cars, and other types of engines. It is a mixture of base oil and additives, where the additives make up a relatively low percentage. Additives are added to lubricating oil to provide some special properties that base oil lacks, such as corrosion inhibition, friction reduction, and lowering viscosity.

Choosing and using a suitable, high-quality oil will greatly benefit the vehicle, especially the engine system:

• Minimizes friction that can damage mechanical components.
• Controls the temperature generated from the combustion cycle within the cylinder, ensuring the smooth operation of this process and preventing damage to machine components.
• Removes carbon build-up that can cause the engine to become dirty or increase friction.
• Prevents oxidation that leads to rusting of the engine.

However, due to different structures and operational characteristics, you should not use motorcycle oil for cars, nor should you use gear oil for scooters (for oils specified separately), even if they are from a reputable brand such as Amsoil or Repsol.

Lubricating oil is crucial for motorcycle engines.
