Abstract

The aim of this research is to investigate the usage of passenger car engine oil into a motorcycle engine by determining the after effect of the lubricant to the engine. The difference between engine oil of passenger car and motorcycle is the friction modifier that is in the formulation of cars engine lubricant. A motorcycle engine has a wet clutch system in the crank case, such engine oil with a friction modifier will decrease the clutch capacity of the system. In this study, three types of methodology tests have been conducted such as endurance test which combined with the fuel efficiency test at the same time, drag test and Ferrography tests that were conducted to determine the amount of contamination in both types of engine oil. The results showed that using a passenger car lubricant on motorcycle engine did not affect the engine compartment and parts. The numbers of metal wear in the used oil of both types of cars and motorcycle were slightly different.
