this can be use on Motorcycle? why does it say Diesel Engine Oil?

To the best of my knowledge this is made specifically for Diesel engines.That is why I picked it and what I use it on. There are other synthetics out there for other uses.

Any diesel oil is good for bikes. Head on over to Bob is the oil guy. And Sunruh will school you on motorcycle oil.

Yes, it can safely be used in a motorcycle. It is JASO-MA certified. I run this in both my Honda XR650L and my Gold Wing. A simple Google search would have answered your question.

I do not believe it should be used on motorcycles with Wet clutches. Wet clutch oils have special friction modifiers to help them grab and yet not to destroy the paper on the clutch friction plates. It's not worth risking the money. I won't put it in my Suzuki GSX-R.Thanks for all the input below gentlemen. After the many responses below I'll give this oil another chance Now that I've got a all new clutch. It sounds like it may have just been age/wear then a real issue based on all the positive responses from others. Thank you all.

Please go to the Evans products website, they have all the info. that you are seeking. But to answer your question, truckers use it, it was designed for diesel engines. I don't sell it, I use it, let the product speak for itself.

I know this synthetic is formulated for high torque Diesel engines, tractors, trucks and etc., and is a synthetic spin off of the long running 15-40 non synthetic by Shell. I have run this in gas V-8 engines year-round, and in my wife's gas SUV (6 cyl) but in warm weather. I recommend referring to your owners manual for recommended oil weight. Better yet, a quick call to a VW dealer or a local oil change shop would get you the answer.

No, don't believe it can be used, as the fuel pressure is much higher for a diesel.

Thanks for the question. I am no professional by any means when it comes to what oil to use for your boat motor. Myself personally would invest my time researching the best type of MARINE specific oil. Im sure of the performance and protection royal purple provides for land vehicles. There may be specifications for marine engines. Best of luck.

It was designed to work on 4-stroke motors, but I don't see anything showing which ones. The images on the front of the bottle seem to indicate it will work on 4-wheelers, jet skis, & motorcycles. You may wish to consult your manual or other information source & see if your engines specifics call for an oil that is rated API SL, JASO MA, JASO MA-2, or ISO-L-EMA2, which are the specs on this oil. I cannot say it will work for your engine with 100% certainty, though.

I am not the manufacturer and I really do not care what oil is used. If you need the information so desperately contact the manufacture directly and ask, instead of using us to do the work for you. Thank you.

I think you can use any fluid. The box doesn't say anything about what kind of fluid you can use or can't use. I used it with gear oil.

Refer to your owners Manuel. Newer diesels require a special oil because of the urea injection into your exhaust. If you don't use recommended oil you will ruin this system.

This oil can be used for multiple purposes. Great for diesel, recreational vehicles, lawnmower, etc... wouldn't put it in something under warranty unless meets spec. May void it even though it probably exceeds the manufacturer. The Internet can steer you in the right direction and come to your own conclusion. For me 05 Ford 6.0 powerstroke diesel 150K still stronger than ever.

I checked directly with MotorKote and they said you can use this item in a 2 cycle engine. You add 2oz for every gallon of fuel after pre-mixing with your two-stroke oil.

I use Rotella 40 weight oil found at most Napa stores it's used for Diesel engines mostly also. It recommends that kind of oil in the literature the hammer came with.

how are you?the motorkote mk-hl32-06 can't mixture with the fuel, you can mixture with the engine oil.

I only use it in gasoline engines but would not hesitate to use it in a diesel.. if engine is new make sure you use regular oil until first oil change.

You can switch back and forth oil at any time. In fact, synthetic blends are simply a mixture of synthetic and conventional oils. It is advisable that you use the same oil for top-ups if needed, thereby giving you the best protection from the oil that you have chosen. Synthetic oils will enhance the engine protection in older motorcycle engines just as they do for new engines.

Preferable to use chain oil rather than motor oil. Sticks to the chain better, and it's more visible.

Use diesel oil in diesel engines only. The additives in the oil are different from that of motor oil for gasoline.
