Quick View
Fully synthetic motorcycle engine oil, developed and packed by a leading German automotive oil manufacturer. The formulation ensures that friction is minimised and the life of your engine is prolonged. The viscosity is optimised for acceleration and engine response. Also ideal for performance car petrol engines, this engine oil meets the requirements for Porsche, Mercedes-Benz (229.1), BMW (LL-98) and VW (502.00 /505.00) engines.
The Techy Stuff
This motorcycle engine oil exceeds the requirements set out by the motorcycle manufacturers and conforms to the following norms: JASO T903 MA, API SL-EC/CF, ACEA A3/B3.
The key norms and what they mean:
API - American Petrol Institute
Used since approx. 1941. The S-classification refers to combustion engines and the second letter denotes the quality. From 1980 standard SF applied, from 88 SG, from 93 SH, and from 96 SJ. The addition of "/ CF" denotes that the oil has been tested using high performance reference engines. The API classification for 2 stroke engines is no longer in common use.
ACEA - European engine oil classification
Valid since 1996, classes A1-A3 denote oils for petrol engines, B1-B4 those for diesel engines. Higher numbers denote better test performance.
JASO - Japanese engine oil classification
The Jaso T 903 is currently the most important classification for 4 stroke engine oils, which covers performance within the main engine parts but also auxiliary areas such as the clutch. Suffixes MA and MB inform on slip resistance, whereby MA provides a higher slip resistance factor.
Viscosity (SAE)
This norm describes the range of temperatures in which the engine oil will perform. In general, the smaller the integer with the W (Winter), the better the oil will continue to flow in cold temperatures. The larger the number without a letter, the better the oil will maintain lubrication in high temperature situations.
