Motorcycle oil lubricates the engine, protects the gearbox and ensures proper friction for the wet clutch. Choosing the right oil prevents clutch slip, gear wear and unnecessary engine damage.
Motorcycle oil is your engine’s most important protection. Unlike car oil, MC oil lubricates three components at once: the engine, the heavily loaded gearbox gears and the wet clutch.
We offer a complete premium selection from the world’s leading manufacturers. To make choosing easy, we’ve removed complicated technical abbreviations from our filters. You only need to select three things: Viscosity, Oil Type and Brand. The guide below helps you pick the exact right oil for your bike.
The numbers (e.g., 10W‑40 or 15W‑50) indicate oil thickness. The first number with W (Winter) shows cold‑start flow. The second shows stability when the engine is hot.
Car oils contain friction modifiers that cause wet clutches to slip.
| Motorcycle Type | Recommended Viscosity | Oil Type | Specification |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sport / Track | 5W‑40 / 10W‑40 | Fully Synthetic | JASO MA2 / API SN |
| Touring / Adventure / Road | 10W‑40 / 15W‑50 | Semi‑Synthetic / Fully Synthetic | JASO MA2 |
| Custom / Air‑Cooled V‑Twin | 20W‑50 | Mineral / V‑Twin Synthetic | JASO MA2 / Harley‑specific |
| Scooter | 10W‑40 | Scooter Oil | JASO MB |
Every year or every 5,000–10,000 km. Cross/Enduro: every 5–15 hours.
Always autumn – old oil can damage internal engine surfaces during winter storage.
Yes, if viscosity and JASO class match. The blend is never better than the worst oil.
