ER-3682 Twincharged March 12, 2012 Share March 12, 2012 Motorcycle oil known as 4T,got an additive to protect the clutch,it is not suitable for cars.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangadrool Supersonic March 13, 2012 Share March 13, 2012 (edited) Actually the additive to prevent clutch slip adds more friction to the engine. That's part of the reason why motorcycle fuel consumption isn't great. Any why would anyone want to use 4T on car when it's so much more expensive than car EO???

Fully Syn You might risk poisoning the car's catalytic converter due to the higher additive, expecially if the car consume some oil. Some engine calls for low-SAP oil, would be very bad if replace it with motorcycle EO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahbao999 1st Gear March 13, 2012 Author Share March 13, 2012 Indeed motorcycle EO is slight expensive than Car EO. He use until very happy , say engine is more quitter and better fuel. He mentioned the Specs SL, SM, SN is the proof whether can be use in Car Engine. Please give more advise before I change ... though of trying , if not good then use back Car EO....

Kangadrool Supersonic March 13, 2012 Share March 13, 2012 Wonder why you wanna try? First, it's more expensive Second, it's less efficient due to friction modifiers additive Third, it just not concocted for car engine. Please read car bibles webby for more info.

Jamesc Hypersonic March 13, 2012 Share March 13, 2012 Please use motorcycle oil in your car, its perfectly ok. If you like I can test for you as my car is quite old.

Kungfu Clutched March 13, 2012 Share March 13, 2012 (edited) ever heard from a established mechanic.............use car EO in bike..........carry on by all means........but the other way round in the long run.............at yr own risk there is a reason why got bike oil and car oil Edited March 13, 2012 by Kungfu Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangadrool Supersonic March 13, 2012 Share March 13, 2012 Car EO can be used in small number of motorcycles only if the clutch is not sharing the same engine oil bath like Harley Davidson. Most bikes have clutch sharing the lubrication from engine oil. So, it's a big NO NO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
