Can you use car oil in a Honda 50?

There is no such thing as motorcycle or car oil. They are one in the same. They are both 4 cycle oils. They may be labeled motorcycle oil but they are the same as the oil used in cars. As long as you use the correct weight you are using the correct oil. I highly recommend you use a full synthetic oil in your air cooled 50 cc engine.

How much oil does an xr100r take?

one quart 10w40 four stroke motorcycle oil. do not use car or truck oil. 10w40 4 stroke oil is car & truck oil which are also 4 stroke engines. You can use the very same oil you use in your car and truck as long as you use the correct weight which is 10w30 and not 10w40. There is no difference in so-called motorcycle oil and car or truck oil. I do however highly recommend you use full synthetic oil in any air cooled engine.

What oil to use on crf230?

10w40 four stroke motorcycle oil. do not use car or truck oil! 10w40 4 stroke oil is car & truck oil which are also 4 stroke engines. You can use the very same oil you use in your car and truck as long as you use the correct weight which is SAE 10w30 and not SAE 10w40. Read your owners manual and you will see it does not recommend 10w40. There is no difference in so-called motorcycle oil and car or truck oil. I do however highly recommend you use full synthetic oil in any air cooled engine.

What kind of oil for a Yamaha Kodiak?

Yamaha recommends 20W40. You can get some at O'reilly auto parts for sure maybe any parts house. You need to be careful to use motorcycle oil or heavy duty diesel oil in it, not car oil. Motorcycles use the same supply of oil for their engines and their transmissions, so it sees really hard service. Motorcycle oil and heavy duty diesel oil are made for things that chew up the polymers in oil...like motorcycle transmissions.
