PERFORMANCE OR PROTECTION? FIND THE MOTORCYCLE OIL YOU NEED FOR YOUR BIKE.
What’s the right type of motorcycle oil for your bike? Getting it right really matters, because the lubrication needs of performance bikes, cruisers and vintage motorcycles are very different.
MOTORCYCLE ENGINE OILS.
Castrol POWER1 is Castrol’s motorcycle engine oil product range. Castrol POWER1 offer a wide range of viscosities and specifications to ensure you always have the right product for your motorcycle.
Motorcycle Speciality Products
Alongside high-performance engine oils, Castrol has developed a range of motorcycle care and speciality products to help you get the most out of your motorcycling experience.
Motorcycle maintenance
We recommend that complex motorcycle maintenance tasks such as changing brake fluid are carried out by trained mechanics. If you have a centre stand, a level place to park and a few simple tools, motorcycle maintenance tasks like checking and topping up your oil should be achievable for most people, thanks to our simple guides.
WHAT TYPE OF OIL DOES YOUR MOTORCYCLE NEED?
Like you will have seen elsewhere on our website: It’s more than just oil. It’s liquid engineering. That’s because while oil is an amazing natural resource, it’s the way we refine, re-engineer and even synthesise oil that makes every Castrol oil an essential addition to your motorcycle.
Customised to meet the needs of your engine – and your riding style – Castrol motorcycle oils fall into three broad categories: mineral, part synthetic and full synthetic. They also feature a wide range of different properties, formulations and viscosities to ensure that you always have the right type and grade of oil for your motorcycle, as recommended by the manufacturer.
2-STROKE ENGINE OIL
2-stroke engine oil is an essential lubricant for every two-stroke engine. Yet not all two-cycle engine oils are created equal.
Castrol’s two-stroke engine oil is liquid engineered with additives that not only help to reduce exhaust smoke, but also control the build-up of harmful engine deposits.
4-Stroke Engine Oil
Some people think that a 4-stroke car engine works just as hard as a 4-stroke motorcycle engine.
The fact is that Motorcycle engines create higher pressures and more power per cc than car engines. This means that 4-stroke cycle engine oil has to work harder to provide the performance and the engine protection that motorcycle manufacturers demand.

MOTORCYCLE MAINTENANCE YOU CAN PERFORM IN YOUR OWN GARAGE
It doesn’t matter whether you’re a fair-weather rider or a daily commuter, regular motorcycle maintenance is not just essential, but achievable at home.
It goes without saying that you should check your tyres and lights before every ride, but we also recommend that you check your motorcycle oil at least once a week. If it needs topping up, it is pretty simple to do so at home, as long as you have a level place to park and the right oil.
Finding the right oil is simple using our quick and easy Oil Finder tool. Once you’ve found the right motorcycle oil, simply follow our step-by-step guide.
HOW OFTEN TO CHECK MOTORCYCLE OIL
How often should you check you motorcycle engine oil? Our answer will always be to check it as often as possible.
That’s because, even the best motorcycle engine oil won’t protect your engine if the levels become too low. Even if your bike doesn’t burn lots of oil, a few hot days and some long rides on your motorcycle can burn off more oil than you might anticipate.
How to check motorcycle engine oil
It’s very important to check the level and condition of motorcycle engine oil on a regular basis.
The good news is that this is an easy task, whether your motorcycle has an oil inspection window or a dipstick. There are just a few easy rules that you need to follow.
Checking Oil through the inspection window
Most modern bikes have a glass inspection window to let you see the level and the condition of your motorcycle engine oil without getting your hands dirty.
You may have to get close to the ground to use this properly, but oil checks like these are easy to get right by following a few simple rules.
Checking motorcycle oil with a dipstick
It’s important to check motorcycle oil at regular intervals in order to maintain your bike’s performance and safety.
Fortunately, this is an easy task even if your bike has a dipstick rather than an inspection window. Just follow our simple guidelines to assess your motorcycle oil level and condition in minutes.
Topping up motorcycle engine oil
Most bikes burn off a little engine oil, and it’s important to check the level and condition of motorcycle engine oil regularly.
It’s also essential to maintain the right level of engine oil by topping up with the correct grade of motorcycle oil whenever your inspection window or dipstick check says your oil level is low.
How to check motorcycle brake fluid
Motorcycle brake fluid or motorcycle brake oil as it’s sometimes known, is a highly engineered fluid that is able withstand extreme temperatures and protect the entire brake system.
It’s vital to check the level of your brake fluid regularly. Follow our simple guide on how to do this properly.
Recycling used motorcycle oil
It may be a natural product, but waste oil can be incredibly harmful to the environment if not disposed of correctly.
Castrol is committed to recycling oil to the greatest possible extent, and we encourage every valued customer to play their part by learning how to make sure their used motorcycle oil is safely recycled.
