With the arrival of summer, the development of your bike is the most important thing. Having your motorcycle ready will help you avoid breakdowns when you least want them and that can be avoided with simple guidelines to follow. First of all you must choose the most suitable oil with the necessary viscosity in each case, and finding it is now easier than ever thanks to the Silkolene Online Oil Selector.
Choosing the Right Oil
Motorcycle engines require special lubricants because of their particular characteristics and configuration. A good motor oil for motorcycle should have:
- Proper friction characteristics
- Wear protection
- Greater oxidation stability
- Low volatility
- The quality of maintaining the degree of viscosity
- Excellent shear stability
Silkolene has developed the exclusive XP technology, offering leading lubricants that offer considerable fuel and oil savings, increased power delivery, reduced engine wear, less friction on critical load surfaces, better cold starts, less tank formation, And a stable viscosity throughout the service period.
As a result of the exclusive formulation, PRO & COM XP lubricants are born:
- Improved engine cleanliness
- Increased gear protection
- Better fuel economy
- Superior output power
- Lower oil consumption
- Better control of high temperature tanks
- Better shear stability (Maintains viscosity grade)
- Better oxidation stability
- Low volatility
- These lubricants also have JASO MA2 and API SL / SN approvals
Choosing the right viscosity
Each manufacturer and model specifies in their instruction manual viscosity and quality. The degree of viscosity is indicated by the standard SAE J 300, by means of two numbers. The first number: 5W, 10W 15W or 20W indicates the viscosity of the oil at -25ºC, so it will indicate the behavior of the oil in cold or starting. The second figure indicates the viscosity at operating temperature (100 ° C).
FUCHS offers its users exclusive oil selector to know what your motorcycle needs. It is a simple tool thanks to which you will not only find the right oil and its viscosity, but also the capacity of the engine crankcase, cooling system, forks, etc.
