Engine, Transmission & Suspension Oils

Engine oil, transmission oil and suspension oil

This category brings together lubricants for different motorcycle systems: the engine, transmission and suspension hydraulics, including the fork and shock. Each application requires specific product characteristics, so do not choose solely by a generic oil name or viscosity.

Before buying motorcycle oil for the engine, transmission or suspension, check the motorcycle owner's manual and the component manufacturer's instructions. Confirm the intended use, required grade or viscosity, and recommended formulation. In suspension components, viscosity affects hydraulic response; in the transmission, follow the system's own specifications.

How to choose the right lubricant

• Application: confirm whether the oil is intended for the engine, transmission, fork or shock.
• Viscosity: select the grade specified to maintain the assembly's intended behavior.
• Oil type: check whether a mineral, synthetic or other specific formulation is required.
• Quantity: calculate the required volume based on circuit capacity and the maintenance procedure.
• Maintenance: follow the specified intervals and replacement method to avoid errors during servicing.

It is also important not to mix different products without first confirming that they are compatible. If the suspension setup is changed or an internal service is performed, use the same viscosity approach on both sides and follow the measurements established for each component.
