Grade Guide
Always check your owner's manual for the manufacturer-recommended grade first — this guide is a general reference, not a substitute for it.
Viscosity Grades We Stock
| Grade | Best For Climate | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| 10W-30 | Cold to moderate | Fuel-efficient commuters, newer engines |
| 10W-40 | Moderate to hot | Everyday commuting, stop-start city traffic |
| 15W-50 | Hot climates | High-mileage or older engines needing thicker film |
| 20W-40 | Hot climates | Budget mineral oil for standard commuters |
| 20W-50 | Very hot climates | High-load riding, older or high-mileage engines |
Oil Type
- Mineral — budget-friendly, shortest service interval, best for older or low-mileage-per-month bikes.
- Semi-Synthetic — a balance of protection and price for daily commuters.
- Full Synthetic — longest service interval and best high-temperature protection, for performance or stop-start city riding.
Reading The Grade
First number (e.g. 10W): How the oil flows in cold conditions — lower means it flows more easily on a cold start.
Second number (e.g. -40): How well the oil holds its thickness at high operating temperature — higher means more protection under heat and load.
API / JASO ratings: Certification standards for cleanliness, wear protection and clutch compatibility (JASO MA/MA2 is required for wet-clutch motorcycles — check before switching to a car-rated oil).
