AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oils (MCF and MCV) provide the absolute best lubrication for motorcycles ever and we’ve got the documentation to prove it.
The demands placed on motorcycle engine oils are more severe than those placed on automotive engine oils. Most motorcycle operators do not recognize what these differences are and to what degree they alter lubrication requirements.
* Operational Speed: Motorcycles tend to operate at engine speeds significantly higher than automobiles. This subjects lubricating oil to higher loading and shear forces. Elevated RPM’s also promote foaming, which accelerates oxidation and reduces the oil’s load-carrying ability.
* Compression Ratios: Motorcycles tend to operate with higher engine compression ratios than automobiles. Higher compression ratios place additional stress on engine components and increase engine-operating temperatures.
* Horse Power: Motorcycle engines produce nearly twice the horsepower per cubic inch of displacement of automobile engines. This exposes the oil to higher temperatures and stress.
* Variable Engine Cooling: Automobiles use a water-cooling system to control engine temperatures. Many motorcycles are air-cooled or use a combination of air/oil design. This results in elevated operating temperatures, which promotes oxidation and causes oil to thin.
* Multiple Lubrication Functionality: In automobiles, engine oil is only required to lubricate the engine. Many motorcycles have common sumps for the engine and transmission. Many motorcycles also incorporate a frictional clutch within the transmission that uses the same oil.
* Inactivity: Motorcycles are typically used less frequently than automobiles. These extended periods of inactivity put more stress on the oil. Critical concerns are rust and corrosion protection.
Despite the fact that AMSOIL MCF and MCV did not achieve the highest score in the Viscosity Index Test, there are reasons that you can share with your prospect as to why that is not a major concern.
* Petroleum oils generally start out with a viscosity index (VI) of less than 100, synthetics with less than 125.
* Explain that a greater viscosity index does not represent the oil’s load carrying ability.
* Inform them that shearing forces can significantly reduce the oil’s load carrying ability.
* Convey that the viscosity of the oil is affected by temperature changes during use.
High Temperature/High Shear test and the Viscosity Shear Stability Test. AMSOIL MCF and MCV score at the top in both of these tests. What does this mean?
* AMSOIL starts with a medium-to-high viscosity index, but maintains it better than anyone else.
* This test is important because bearings require the highest level of protection during high temperature operation.
* The higher the score in the High Temperature/High Shear test, the greater the level of protection offered by the oil.
* Once the operating temperature changes, so does the viscosity of the oil.
* There are significant differences between oils and their ability to retain their viscosity.
* Can a product that changes so greatly under operating temperatures protect as well as one that is stable like AMSOIL? No.
