Castrol Activ
Find the best engine oil for your motorcycle
What is motorcycle engine oil?
In 2-Stroke motorcycles the engine oil is lubricant that is continuously injected into the crankcase and burned with each combustion cycle. It must prevent piston scuffing and effectively lubricate bearings, at the same time resisting deposit formation and smoke emission.
In 4-Stroke motorcycles the engine oil must simultaneously meet the high-stress protection requirements of the engine, the friction requirements of the clutch pack and the wear protection requirements of the gearbox.
When should I change motorcycle engine oil?
Always follow the manufacturer’s oil change interval recommendations as described in the owner manual. Due to the smaller sump size and higher engine rpm and operating temperatures, motorcycle engine oil change intervals are generally shorter than that for passenger car engine oils.
Castrol Activ
Castrol Activ with Actibond Molecules clings to and protects critical engine components even when the engine is switched off, providing continuous protection in all riding conditions.
Continuous protection even when the engine is off.
Available in the following grades:
Castrol Activ 2T
Industry specifications:
- JASO FD
- ISO-L-EGD
Type:
- Mineral
Castrol Activ 2T is a mineral motorcycle engine oil, formulated to reduce the build-up of carbon deposits on critical engine parts that can restrict the flow of gases from the engine, resulting in a decrease in power or deposit-induced pre-ignition.
Castrol Activ 2T is suitable for both air and water-cooled motorcycle engines whether lubricated by a petrol/oil mixture, or oil injected system.
Application
Castrol Activ 2T provides mineral lubrication for most street and off-road two-stroke motorcycles. It is recommended for use in the following two-stroke motorcycles, both air and water-cooled:
- Road Bikes
- Motocross Bikes
- Agricultural Bikes
- Trail Bikes
- Mini-Bikes
- Mopeds
- Scooters
