Engine oil RAVENOL or Motorex
I have always used Motorex. I have the same bike and 3 other KTM’s. Always Motorex. I know it is spendy but it’s very high quality
Pros: very high quality
Cons: it is spendy
In my Shiver 750, Motul or Motorex every 3,500 miles were required to keep neutral findable when you want it and hidden when you don’t. False or impossible-to-find neutrals were a sign that it was time for an oil change.
Pros: findable neutral
Cons: impossible-to-find neutrals
Mileage: 3500 km
Even Ravenol, which is pretty expensive since it is made in Germany from Group V base stock. Great stuff.
Pros: great stuff
Cons: pretty expensive
Use an oil designed for a wet clutch, like this [motorex 15w50]
Pros: designed for wet clutch
I used to have castrol but since i chiptuned my octavia i switched to ravenol and the oil temps went down a good bit and it doesnt use any oil but that could also be because the old oil was 0w20 and the new one is 5w40
Pros: oil temps went down
Vehicle:
Skoda Octavia
Last month I replaced the valve stem seals and it helped massively with the smoke. It doesn't really smoke much anymore, there's definitely still small puffs when taking off quickly, but nothing that I can see in the mirror.
Pros: helped massively with smoke
Cons: still small puffs
Vehicle:
BMW
I go with 10w40 Ravenol TSi
I use Ravenol which is 100% PAO base stock.
Pros: 100% PAO base stock
Well I decided to try Motorex on my F800 GS, bought the 4T Top Speed full synthetic, in 15W50, boy I cant help it but recommend this oil, the gearbox is so smooth and silky.
Pros: smooth and silky gearbox
Vehicle:
BMW
Honestly Motorex is a good oil, but it is extremely expensive for what you get. I specialize in performing Used Oil Analysis (Worked for Reliability departments for mining outfits) and it’s just a Ho Hum oil.
Pros: good oil
Cons: extremely expensive
