Motorcycle engine lubrication and oil course
About our
Motorcycle Engine Lubrication and Oils Course
This course focuses on a comprehensive understanding of motorcycle engine lubrication systems, addressing the correct selection and application of oils and lubricants. It explores the types of oils (synthetic, semi-synthetic, mineral), their technical specifications (viscosity, API classification, JASO), and their impact on engine performance and lifespan. The course also analyzes the different components of the lubrication system (pumps, filters, oil coolers) and their maintenance, including oil change procedures and the detection of common lubrication-related failures.
The course includes failure analysis and the interpretation of technical data to optimize lubrication according to engine type and operating conditions. Skills are developed in identifying lubrication problems, such as contamination and wear, and information is provided on regulations and standards related to oil quality. The aim is to prepare participants to optimize engine performance, extend engine life, and reduce maintenance costs.
