2. Castrol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castrol

   Castrol products are still marketed under the red, white and green colour scheme that dates from the launch of Castrol motor oil in 1909. Advertisements for Castrol oil historically featured the slogan "Castrol – liquid engineering". This was more recently refreshed and reintroduced as "It's more than just oil. It's liquid engineering." [27] [28]

3. Motor oil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_oil

   An engine oil using a polymeric viscosity index improver (VII) must be classified as multi-grade. Breakdown of VIIs under shear is a concern in motorcycle applications, where the transmission may share lubricating oil with the motor. For this reason, motorcycle-specific oil is sometimes recommended. [18]

4. Total-loss oiling system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total-loss_oiling_system

   These engines were designed to have a total-loss lubrication system, with the motor oil held in a separate tank from the fuel in the vehicle, and not pre-mixed with it as with two-cycle engines, but mixed within the engine instead while running. Castor oil was often used because it lubricates well at the high temperatures found in air-cooled ...

5. Synthetic oil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_oil

   A sample of synthetic motor oil. Synthetic oil is a lubricant consisting of chemical compounds that are artificially modified or synthesised. Synthetic oil is used as a substitute for petroleum-refined oils when operating in extreme temperature, in metal stamping to provide environmental and other benefits, and to lubricate pendulum clocks.

6. Motorcycle components - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorcycle_components

   Some motorcycles include the engine as a load-bearing stressed member; this has been used all through motorcycle history but is now becoming more common. Oil-in-frame (Oif) chassis, where the lubricating oil is stored in the frame of the motorcycle, was used for Vincent Motorcycles of the 1950s, and for a while during the 1970s on some NVT ...

7. Pre-unit construction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-unit_construction

   AJS racing motorcycle showing typical pre-unit construction engine and gearbox layout with mounting plates, slotted holes and screw-thread adjusters visible. Pre-unit construction, [1] also called separate construction, is a motorcycle engine architecture where the engine and gearbox are separate components with their own oil reservoirs, linked by a driving chain within a primary chaincase.

8. Mobil 1 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobil_1

   Mobil 1 engine oil was introduced in 1973. [1] The brand range now includes a variety of engine oils, oil filters, chassis grease, transmission fluids, and gear lubricants. [2] In 1998, Mobil challenged Castrol over the discovery that Castrol was processing conventional oil and calling it synthetic. At the time, Mobil 1 was still created using ...

9. Automatic lubrication - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_lubrication

   Automatic lubrication (also called autolube or auto-lube) refers to a lubrication system on a two-stroke engine, in which the oil is automatically mixed with fuel and manual oil-fuel pre-mixing is not necessary. The oil is contained in a reservoir that connects to a small oil pump in the engine, which needs to be periodically refilled.
