The motor oil that Hondas likes best .

[kiriakost]

About motor oils , I am confused about how to test the current on my engine.

When the oil its new , it has that slippery feeling , when you have it on your fingers .

By the time , it looses that slippery feeling , even sooner than the programed oil exchange .

I wish to was a method , to see with your eyes , if the motor oil needs exchange or not .

The ARAL motor oil , lost that slippery feeling , very fast .

One way is put a drop between your finger and thumb and see how far they can open before the oil separates.

What I tried so far, was rubbing finger and thumb , that why I speak about slippery feeling .

My engine does not burn even a drop of oil , so the level are always toped.
The Oil it self, looks just a bit dark , with out looking dirty .

I don't know if that bike has a wet clutch, if it does that oil might contaminate your friction plates and cause clutch slip, requiring the plates replaced. Its always best to use oil designed for bikes

Yep its a wet clutch so guess its a drain down and replace job..... more pennies.
I understand the SAE 10w40 bit ,but what the hell does it mean API grade SE,SF, or SG??????

Thats Oils specs , that an oil must have ... the point is who makes the tests,
that those products , truly comply.

I have long time to see , a true & fresh motor oil review.

Ive used ROK oil semi for a few years now and had no probs, had to top up the oil the other day and had to use HALFORDS 10/40 semi DIESEL OIL Oh how I can now hear some of you weeping at my ineptness and mechanical sympathy.
But to my defence Ive had no problems at all with it, so its staying there until I do my next oil and filter change next month.

Diesel oil

The truth is that all engines haves the same need , just need some oil in them.

The manufacturers as helping guide , they just add labels on the boxes.
Specifying the engine type , making the selection easier.

As long all motor oils has the same base , they are all alike .

Still there is a Tip , get old productions of motor oil if possible ...
The new ones comes from recycled oil , that haves less life spam .

I do not know what oil does in Scotland , But in Greece it becomes like water .... 25C - 35C average temps .

Thats why , we use only 15-50W at anything over 200cc .

I've never seen oil go like that before, but then the temprature only rises above -5 two days a year in Scotland
