do you mean "higher grade" as in better quality? If so No. If your talking about the rating numbers(example:10w30) you go by the lowest temp weather your riding will be in and highest temp weather. I don't know how that whole thing exactly works but the numbers deal with viscosity of the oil. Just use what the manufacturer of your bike tells you.

What does engine ping mean?
Try to use a higher grade gasoline or dry gas.Could have moisture in system.
Is regular gas best for 2000 corolla?
Regular gas is the recommend grade of gasoline for the 2000 Corolla. You can use a higher grade, if regular is not availalbe. No damage or performance changes will be present. In some cases, due to the natural accumulation of deposits in the engine, some high mileage examples will exhibit less engine "pinging" under heavier loads or even experience a slight increase in fuel economy.
What will happen if i run unleaded gas in a leaded fuel engine?
I don't believe there is a such thing as a leaded fuel engine. All gasoline is unleaded, some just a higher grade.
What is the danger of high compression in a spark ignition engine?
If the pressure is too high for the grade of fuel, you will get 'pinking' or 'pinging'. This is the term for pre-ignition. The fuel will explode instead of burning rapidly, and makes a metallic rattling or 'pinking' sound. This can damage the valves and piston crown if left to continue. High compression engines need a better grade of fuel, a higher Octane number.
A 1987 Ford Crown Victoria's engine stays running even when the ignition is off. What does this mean?
If you mean it ( diesel's ) then eventually shuts off, then this is due to low grade fuel as to where the timing is set on the engine. Two options, change to higher grade fuel, or have timing checked or lowered. In either case, this is not good for the engine.
What is the number on the head of the bolt mean.Please give examples.?
It signifies the grade of a bolt. For a load bearing bolt where it's failure could cause injury or damage, you should use a high grade bolt. 5-9 are higher grades.
What would cause a ticking noise in the engine when going up a hill?
Most likely is knocking. Try next higher octane grade of gasoline.
Can lower grade of SS steel be used for making higher grade of SS steel?
Yes, higher grade stainless is achieved by cold working a lower grade stainless steel
What are Mint grades in coins?
Mint grade is a scale of condition based on the condition of the coin. The less wear, nicks, scratches and other types of damage, the higher the coin is on the scale.
What kind of gas should be used for a 1998 Honda prelude?
The 2.2 liter VTEC (H22A) engine recommends top grade (premium) fuel due to higher compression. You may use lower grade (lower octane) fuel but run the risk of damaging the engine and will surely reduce engine performance and reduce fuel economy.
Why does a 1997 Mercedes-Benz E320 need premium gas?
The 3.2 litre engine runs a 10:1 compression ratio. Higher Octane fuel prevents knocking, detonation, and possible engine damage. Also its worth mentioning that in Europe 91 octane is low grade fuel. - That being said the engine does have a knock sensor. In the event of engine knocking the ignition timing will be retarded in increments of 2.3 degrees to a max of 15 degrees. This will prevent engine damage that could come from lower grade fuel. - Here is the catch. As the ignition timing is retarded the engine will produce (slightly) less power at full throttle, and your millage may decrease. (slightly) The car calls for 91 Octane fuel. I would personally use 89 and not loose any sleep, and I would use 87 in a pinch. In the end though the decision is all yours.
How petrol knocking is different from diesel knocking?
they are the same thing. "knocking" in an engine is the fuel igniting from the heat of compression of the fuel and the air together. in a desel engine this is how it is suposed to work because it has no spark plugs so the only way to ingite the fuel is by compressing the fuel and the air by a ratio of about 22 to 1. in a gas engine the fuel is ignitied by a spark plug, if you use low grade fuel the explosion can happen too early (before the spark plug ignites it) and cause a knocking noise in the engine whitch can cause dammage long tearm the typical compression ratio for a gas engine is 10 to 1. the more compression you have the higher grade fuel you need to prevent "knocking" whitch is why higher end cars need higher grade fuel because they have higher compression engines whitch make more horsepower with omperable size engines.
