Synthetic Vs Mineral Engine oil for Motorcycles?

[asjdsm]

These are not Solar table for bikes as bike uses same oil for clutch and transmission. These can destroy clutches.

can anybody tell me how to tell if its a fake oil . i recently changed my bikes mobil oil and done some 300kms but bike feels heavy, and too much vibrations, feels like the oil has done 2000kms. i use the same oil before and usually change after 1300- 1500 .i use zic m5 20w-40.oil level is fine on gauge and color is fine but feels very very less viscousity .. can anybody tell me the signs of fake oil? as i dont have the oil bottle to check for any clue now.

Yr zic hiflo jo car ka hta hta a freimd of mine is using in his gs150 57k clocked and still on stock engine
So if car oil is bad for engine how come it has clocked 57k not even clutch plates changed i have seeen 100 s of honda 125 in whick owner has changed clutch plates at 17k km i know they all use nakli havoline
But my question how come a car oil in bike and bike is at 57k km on odo and still running fine???????

[hamikhan]

I am also using zic X5 20W50 car oil in my gs150 from 10k now bike has clocked 33K+ on this oil no clutch slipage+no abnormal activity is there in engine it lost long in engine+it is thousand time better than any motorcycles oils

[aliabid2]

Yes my question is same on internet people all over the world say car engine oil is not used in bike engine because bike has wet clutch plates and car has dry in motorbike mobil oil some addititive is added to protech clutvh olates while in car mobil oil it is not added because it has speparate gear oil.section
But the eye witnessed example showed that car mobil oil using in bike has proven no harm to bike even at 57k km on odo meter while a lay man using bike mobil oil never crosses 30k km on odo amd clutch plates and ring are gone which i have witnessed

@hamikhan how often you change oil when using car grade oil vs bike grade oil in your bike, i see most of car drivers they change oil after 2500 km can we use it in bike till 2500 km too? less or more?

one more thing i went to shell advance website they said their 20w50 bike oil have drainage period of 6k km while no one use it more then 2k km including me, i'm all confused in drainage period

[hamikhan]

Bro but car engine & bike engines are basically same only one addition in bike engine are clutch plates

I have used many bike oils in my bike no bike oil never ever satisfied me+they never lost more then 700,800km so i shifted to zic x5 engine is too much relaxed on this oil+every other problem has disappeared from engine by using this oil

Bro when i have started using this ZIC X5 car oil in my bike i never used again any bike oil

Oil change interval is 1000 to 1200km not more than this after this bike clutch become loose mean no hardness in clutch lever+gear shifting also start troubling & others factors are forced me for oil change

For longer interval in cars is because of their oil cooling system in cars oil does not exceeds from a maximum limit because of radiator perhaps this would be a cause for longer intervals

I'm also confused in oil grade,
if an oil is 20w-50 what does its meaning actually
i did some googling and found that there are two types of oil grade first is single grade and second is multi grade, and 20w-50 means it is multigrade oil and 20w is its viscosity on normal temperature where w stands for winter, while 50 is on temperature of 100'c, but I'm again confused, how it is possible for an oil to thin on normal temperature(20w) and become thick on higher temperature(50)
then in a Wikipedia articles i read That it is not viscosity, not 20w and neither 50, it is actually sae grade, while sae grade shows viscosity

fully confused

[gull_s_777]

Oil does not get thicker as it gets hot. It starts getting thinner, 50 grade keeps it from getting too much thin at higer temperatures.

Look at data sheet of liqui moly 4T 20W-50 Street.

[pwuser148500257848]

it is saying viscosity is 18 at temprature of 100'C, then 50(in 20w50) stands for what?

Can I Use Cd70 air filter in any other chonda Bike? Super Power 70??????

[alibhatti630]
