Mopeds, scooters and the smallest motorcycles with an engine up to 50 centimeters in volume work almost at the limit of their power. It is for this reason that it is critically important for them to choose the correct oils for small vehicles presented on the page https://top-dealer.com.ua/catalog/masla/masla- dlya-maloy-tekhniki . But what to fill in the crankcase or a separate tank, synthetic or mineral water?
Benchmarking
The overwhelming majority of small-sized equipment is produced with two-stroke engines. For them, the quality of the lubricant entering the crank is critically important. If it is not enough, the engine will almost instantly overheat due to increased friction. The piston will expand so much that it will jam in the cylinder. To prevent this from happening, it is better to give preference to synthetic oil. It has the following operational benefits:
- Retains an oil film even in a highly diluted state with gasoline.
- Doesn't tend to lose its properties with low-quality fuel.
- Adheres well to metal parts.
- Does not pollute the exhaust system of a two-stroke engine.
The four-stroke motor is less demanding on the quality of the lubricant. If you change it on time, it is quite acceptable to fill the crankcase with mineral-based grease. The main thing is to monitor the normal engine oil level.
Effect of overheating
Most mopeds and scooters are air cooled. If the operation of equipment takes place in an intensive mode, with frequent overheating or in urban conditions, it is better to use a semi-synthetic or fully synthetic oil for insurance in the summer. It liquefies less when overheated, keeping the sliding effect inside the motor.
