Engine Oil

About

Engine oil is the single most important fluid protecting your motorcycle's moving parts. This range covers 2-stroke and 4-stroke formulations from Putoline, Motul and Ipone, spanning mineral, semi-synthetic and full-synthetic grades. Match the right viscosity and standard to your engine for clean shifts, lower wear and consistent protection ride after ride. How to choose the right motorcycle engine oil The correct oil starts with your owner manual specification. Engine oil is graded by SAE viscosity, with this range covering 10W30, 10W40 and 15W50 across 2-stroke and 4-stroke applications. The W rating shows cold-flow behaviour, so a 10W oil pumps faster on a cold start than a 15W. Wet-clutch motorcycles need a JASO MA2 4T oil, while many 2T engines run a separate JASO FD premix or injector oil. Type Base Example viscosity Best for 2-Stroke (2T) Mineral to synthetic Premix and injector MX, enduro, 2T road 4-Stroke (4T) Semi-synthetic 10W40 Daily road, commuting 4-Stroke race Full synthetic 10W30, 15W50 Track, hard off-road Transmission Mineral 10W40 Gearbox protection Full-synthetic oils such as Putoline N-Tech Pro R+ hold viscosity better under sustained loads above 100 degrees Celsius, which matters for racing and 450cc engines. Semi-synthetic grades suit most road riders at lower cost per change. Change intervals vary, but hard off-road use can demand fresh oil every 5 to 10 hours versus thousands of kilometres for a road bike. Always confirm the JASO and SAE rating your engine requires before topping up. Keeping the rest of your bike serviced matters too. Pair fresh oil with the right chain lube and a clean drivetrain using degreaser .
