Purpose and Specifications

MOTUL 3000 4T 10W40 is a mineral-based motorcycle engine oil engineered for 4-stroke engines in street bikes, trail bikes, and off-road motorcycles. This oil works with or without integrated gearboxes, wet or dry clutches, and is safe for engines equipped with catalytic converters.

Key Performance Features:

• Extreme Pressure additives protect transmission gears from wear and damage
• High cleaning and dispersing properties keep your engine free from deposits and sludge
• Superior lubrication reduces friction, making gear shifts smooth and easy
• JASO MA2 specification ensures optimal wet clutch engagement and prevents slipping during acceleration and full-speed riding
• API SM standard provides oxidation resistance and low-temperature performance for extended engine life

Operating Temperature Range: Suitable for engines operating between -10°C and 100°C, making it reliable across most riding conditions.

When to Use / Replace?

Oil Change Interval: Replace every 10,000 km or as recommended by your motorcycle manufacturer. For typical street riding, this translates to approximately every 3-4 months depending on usage frequency.

Best For: New or rebuilt engines during break-in period, everyday street riding, and off-road use. If you normally use synthetic oil, this mineral oil is an excellent choice for engine break-in before switching to premium synthetics.

Shelf Life: Store in a cool, dry place. Unopened containers remain effective for up to 5 years from manufacture date.

Compatibility: Can be safely mixed with other synthetic or mineral lubricants if needed during top-ups between oil changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this oil suitable for my scooter or ATV?
A: Yes. MOTUL 3000 4T works with scooters, ATVs, UTVs, and personal watercraft (PWC) with 4-stroke engines, provided your manufacturer recommends 10W40 viscosity.

Q: Can I use this for my motorcycle with a catalytic converter?
A: Absolutely. This oil is specifically formulated to be safe for exhaust after-treatment systems like catalytic converters and secondary air injection.

Q: What does 10W40 mean in practical terms?
A: The 10W means the oil flows easily when your engine is cold (winter starts), while the 40 means it maintains proper thickness at high operating temperatures. This multi-grade approach gives you year-round protection without needing seasonal oil changes.
