Can we fill Diseal Engine Oil in Motorcycle?

PLZ tell if we can replace the motorcycle engine oil with Diseal Genearator Set Engine oil.? If not then y? Plz send and replyCan we fill Diseal Engine Oil in Motorcycle?
Diesel engines burn relatively dirty so they need lots of detergents and friction modifiers. Both of these are deadly to motorcycle engines, especially the clutch.Can we fill Diseal Engine Oil in Motorcycle?
Come on now! Unfortunately, most of you folks don't know what you're talking about! As far as the busted lawnmower engine, that was due to something else, not the oil. As far as the detergents and carbon build up goes, the only place you're going to find carbon build up is in the cylinder itself, a place where the engine oil isn't going to be. I've taken plenty of motorcycle engines apart and the internals are always much cleaner than auto or industrial engines. That's usually because the air cooled bike engines run hotter.





I run diesel engine oil in my bike (and antique car) with no problems. In fact, I run a combination synthetic/conventional diesel oil meant for older engines. The reason I do is that it still has higher levels of the friction reducer zinc. New gasoline oils have greatly reduced levels (to reduce emmissions). Newer engines with roller tappets are fine with it, but older engines with flat tappets need the greater friction reducing benefits of zinc to lessen tappet and cam lobe wear. I haven't had any clutch problems and I have a big, heavy touring bike.





Look on the oil container and if you're in the US, there should be letter designations like CC, CD or CF. The CD and earlier oils have the higher zinc levels. Use the same grade you would normally use.
You can use to some extent.. however performance will not be guaranteed...





Petrol and diesel engines have different lubrication requirements. During development, lubricants undergo a number of tests, some common to diesel and petrol engines and others specific to one or the other type, that categorize their performances. At the end of this process, they are awarded an API or ACEA/CCMC compliance standard. These specifications characterize the acceptable functioning of the lubricant in each type of petrol or diesel engine. Lubricants for four-stroke engines usually comply with both petrol and diesel specifications. For example, an API SJ/CF lubricant meets petrol specification SJ and diesel specification CF. But this does not necessarily mean that it will perform in the same way in both petrol and diesel engines.
In an emergency yes. long time, no. MC's are air cooled, fairly high revving engines, deseils are low revving,although the generator is also probably air cooled. If u look at all those bubbles in the oil they are there for a reason, different oils let dirt into those bubbles at different tempatures that how its removed from the engine. The motor cycle oil lets dirt in at a different tempature than the desiel oil. The desi el oil won't remove the dirt.
The diesel engine gets ignited by compression and not spark plug method. It is a lower grade oil compared to petrol and has different burning characterstics. You engine will get spoilt if you interchange the fuel. If you still want to try, you can mix a small quantity of diesel with petrol and try out. But be prepared to junk you motorcycle.
diesel rated %26amp; motorcycle oil still has the zink %26amp; other trace heavy metals that they had to remove from automobile oils a couple of years ago.


they had to remove the zddp %26amp; other high pressure antifriction additives from auto oil when they made the manufacturers guarentee the catylitic converters for 150,000 miles.


the metals interfere with the operation of the converters.thats the same reason they had to remove lead from gasoline after72 %26amp; lower the compression so engines would run on low(87) octane unleaded.instead of 92 octane leaded regular.


its recomended that any flat tappet engines use only diesel rated or synthetic oils now to prevent rapid cam wear with the new auto oil.
my harley owners manual actually reads that you can use diesel engine oil in your bike where harley oil is not available.





harley, isn't so kind as to post their api rating on their oil, and i don't care what my manual reads, i ain't putting diesel oil in my bike, so i'm stuck at the mercy of the overinflated price of harley oil until i find their api rating and run an equivalent.
IM not a chemist ( prob cant even spell it ) but like was mentioned to much detergent to trap and clean excess carbon from diesel engines


I used it in a riding lawnmower of all things because i just had diesel oil the mower scattered in less than 10 hours of use so I wouldnt use it in any thing except a diesel
I don't know why you would want to, but if you do you will definitely shorten the life of your bike. Use oil suggested by the manufacturer.It's a little expensive, but a real bargain as opposed to a new engine.
Yes, you can.


bikinkawboy and crash have explained as well as I could.


And, as sn00p says, Harley Davidson recommends it (when you can't get theirs).
No. Diesel engine oil is high-detergent, not suitable for petrol engines. It'll do in an emergency but not for long.
