Engine oil, how to optimize their consumption

Why use oil the bike?

If the car is new, the engine will need more aveite than normal until the pieces fit and internal components. On the contrary if the car is old, it will consume more oil by internal looseness and scuffs own age.

Between one and another situation, the engine will consume more and a little more oil every 1,000 km. It's a matter of time.

When there is a excesito consumption of oil in the engine?

  • Echamos demasiado aceite en el depósito. Si se soprepasa la marca de “máximo”, parte de ese exceso se derramará en el cárter y llegará a la camisa del cilindro por el movimiento del pistón. Esto hará que se consuma más aceite al quemarse en la cámara de combustión
  • Switched to an oil of different properties than those recommended. If we do not fit that indicates the manufacturer will not be optimal within lubrication. If we had an oil least I hope will come more easily to all parts of the engine, but the oil pump continue to work with the same pressure, so more oil will come. Less dense protective layer over involves less parts, increased wear of the same and further degradation of the oil.
  • dirty oil, dirty oil accelerates wear parts. The oil gets dirty more easily when the corresponding filter is in poor condition.

The best option is to follow the manufacturer's recommendations and do not innovate in a matter of oils and bear in mind that, over time, the engine will consume more and a little more.
