humbucker Posted February 19, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cockercas Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 10/40 will be fine. Unless your getting well above 40ºc outside air temp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humbucker Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
