Synthetic vs Mineral Engine Oil: Complete Rider Guide

Choosing the right engine oil viscosity and type is crucial for engine longevity and performance. Here is what you need to know about 10W-40 vs 20W-50 grades.

1. Fully Synthetic Ester Oils

Ester-based synthetic oils like Motul 7100 and 300V provide superior film strength at high RPMs and lower engine operating temperatures.

2. Drain Intervals

High quality synthetic oils can safely last 2,500km to 3,000km compared to 1,000km for conventional mineral oils.
