0 weight oil ?

noticed some hi tech synthetic oils now rated as 0/50.
would 0 be like water ? Anyone used these in bikes ?

They can invent as many different multigrades as they like. The oil
lubes the engine, it's not a fad. Use the ones that the manufacturer
recommends. With my limited knowledge of oils I'd say a 0 weight oil
would be ideal for running in your motorbike during winter in Antarctica.

Certainly can! ;-)


BTH!

 

Yes they recommend that for Australian conditions where ambient starting
temperatures are between 5C and 50C you probably need a 20W-50 and if
you're anywhere where a 0W rating is required for cold weather starting
good luck because you'll probably be turning the engine by hand.
