Motorcycle vs. Automobile Differences
- Most motorcycles operate at much higher rpms - More friction - More heat - More wear!!
- Many motorcycles share engine & transmission oil - More friction- More heat- More shearing!!
- Many motorcycles have "wet clutches" sharing the engine/transmission oil bath - More friction - more heat - More wear!!
- Many motorcycles, ATVs, PWCs and snowmobiles are "air cooled" - up to 3 time more heat - More wear - More Oxidation - More shearing!!
- As indicated above, motorcycle lubrication needs; and motor oils, are different from those of automobiles. Motorcycles shear, or breakdown, oil at a much faster rate than automobiles. Some tests have shown viscosity losses of 30% for motorcycles, and 3% or less for automobiles, within the first 800 to 1,000 miles. Many motorcycles require an oil that serves BOTH the engine and transmission; and that, requires a great oil, and Redline synthetic motor oils are great oils. Bottom line, motorcycles are tougher on lubricants, than cars.
As part of Red Line’s all-new Powersports line, these High Performance Motorcycle Oils are fully-synthetic formulas specifically created for the high demands of the latest high-revving four-strokes motocross bikes, ATVs, Sportbikes, and V-Twins. Available in popular viscosities of 10W-30,10W40, 20W50, and 20W60. These ester-based synthetic motor oils contain the anti-wear chemistry demanded by mechanics and enthusiasts.
The levels of zinc and phosphorus blended into these synthetic motor oil are among the highest in the industry and combine well with Red Line’s chemistry. These oils also features lower levels of friction modifiers for superior wet clutch operation. Excellent thermal stability, oxidation resistance, cleanliness, and ability to lubricate hot metal. RECOMMENDED for JASO MB, API SJ, SG, & SH.
