Shell 10W-30 bike engine oil, specifically Shell Advance 4T AX5, is a premium mineral oil designed for 4-stroke motorcycle engines. It utilizes Shell's Active Cleansing Technology to help prevent dirt particles from sticking together and forming deposits, keeping the engine cleaner and improving performance. This oil is suitable for standard air and water-cooled engines with integral gearboxes and wet-type clutch assemblies.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Viscosity:
The 10W-30 designation indicates the oil's viscosity properties. "10W" signifies its viscosity at low (cold) temperatures, and "30" signifies its viscosity at high (hot) temperatures. This means it flows relatively easily when the engine is cold, providing good lubrication during startup, and maintains adequate viscosity at operating temperatures for good protection.
Key Benefits:
Engine Protection: The oil's Active Cleansing Technology helps keep the engine cleaner, which can lead to better performance and longer engine life.
Reduced Noise and Vibration: It can help reduce engine noise and vibration, contributing to a smoother ride.
Smooth Clutch Engagement: It's formulated to provide smooth and responsive clutch engagement.
Meets Industry Standards: Shell Advance AX5 10W-30 meets API SL and JASO MA performance specifications.
Applications:
It's designed for a wide range of motorcycles, particularly those with standard air and water-cooled 4-stroke engines, including those with integral gearboxes and wet-type clutches.
