Re: Engine Oils

Hello all

I have this doubt regarding Engine oil top-up.
I know that we should add extra oil whenever we see the oil level is not midway between the upper and lower ' - ' marks.
But when should we ideally check the oil level ?
What i mean is if we check the level when the engine is standing cold then the oil level display hardly shows some oil (only when i tilt the bike - i can see its there)
But after i comeback from a ride i will see that the oil is upto the optimum level and got some frothing at surface.
So should i add the oil in this case ?
I don't know if there are any major drawbacks if we pour engine oil in excess of what is recommended...?!

A little insight ?



Thanks.
cheers.

I'm going to buy this Castrol CRB Plus ( 20W40 ) ( CF-4 ) ( 5-Litre ) Pack oil for use as gearbox oil for my suzuki max100r...as I see there are no oils targeted specifically for use in 2-stroke bikes as gearoils. ( yamalube gearoil is an exception though ). after enquiring many mechanics and oil dealers, i've made this decision. the seller agreed to sell this to me for rs. 1450/-.

Watch and understand oil, grade, viscosity, etc etc!

That was easy to understand and a firm reason to change to synthetic oil rather than reading some articles...
