humbucker Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 The recommended grade of oil for my bike is 10/40 but I was wondering, is this suitable in a hot climate? From June until mid September the air temp is usually between 35-40c hereabouts and I would appreciate any advice about the grade of oil I should use. I do like to take my little Daelim out for a ride of about 60km's in a day with stops for drink etc. so it will get very hot. Quote
cockercas Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 10/40 will be fine. Unless your getting well above 40ºc outside air temp. Quote
humbucker Posted February 21, 2014 Author Posted February 21, 2014 Thanks, I am not well up on these matters so advice is appreciated. We had a '71 VW camper van and the oil 'seperated' is how the mechanic put it, when it got too hot. Quote
