But in case if you want better quality of engine oil then there are few rules that you have to consider.
*There are three basic types of engine oil-
Mineral
Semi-synthetic
Fully-synthetic
MINERAL OIL
Mineral oil is usually poured in the brand new bike because this oil is mostly coarse and less viscous oil then the other type oil. In the first bike servicing after riding around 1000kms this oil is removed from the bike.
SEMI-SYNTHETIC OIL
Semi-synthetic oil is a medium grade oil which is generally used after the initial run-in of the motorcycle. This oil has longer cooling properties which is the required.
FULLY-SYNTHETIC OIL
Fully-synthetic oil has the highest grade among the other types of oil. It is generally used for track bikes and for expensive bikes. This oil increases the bike performance and helps the motorcycle to run smoothly. This oil has more viscous and cooling properties. The oil is more expensive then the other types of engine oil.
After reading the above types of engine oil, you might have able to understand the neccesecity for the types of engine oil. With the types of engine oil, another concept is important that you should know i.e. the engine oil grade.
There are different grades of engine oil available in the market. When you can check out the engine oil in the market or online you will be able to see the grades written on it like 20W-50, 10W-30, 10W-40 and so on. So you have to choose the perfect engine oil grade and for that you have to understand the grading concept.
Though it is always better to use the engine oil recommended by the bike manufacturer. But, you can go for the better engine oil with the grade recommended for your bike.
‘W’ represent winter and the number represented before the W i.e. 10Wxx 0r 0Wxx indicates the lower temperatures which is suitable in cold areas. The lower temperature rating starts from 0Wxx which is suitable for very cold climatic conditions.
The number after the xxW30 or xxW50 indicates the hotter temperature which is suitable for hotter climatic condition. So depending on the climatic conditions you can choose the grade.
But it is also risky to pour the engine oil if you are not sure about the grades of the oil. Instead of looking for the best engine oil for motorcycle/bike before that know the concept or the requirements for the best engine oil which will help you to find by yourself the best engine oil for your bike.
