With most four-stroke motorcycles, the engine oil performs multiple functions, including lubricating the motor, clutch and gearbox. Valvoline’s reformulated 4-Stroke 20W-50 Motorcycle Oil is uniquely designed to excel at all three demanding tasks. Engineered with top-quality additives, it provides wear and friction protection in 4-cycle engines. Whether it’s a sport bike, V-Twin, or touring motorcycle, Valvoline’s formula maximizes horsepower and acceleration with each throttle twist. What’s more, it provides 40% better transmission protection versus typical API SL quality engine oil in FZG scuffing test, and up to 20% better engine cleanliness vs. typical API SL quality engine oil in Honda XR250 engine test. Friction control helps prevent slippage and ensure smooth shifting and optimal power transfer in bikes like Harley Davidson Road King, Kawasaki Ninja, Honda Shadow Phantom, Yamaha YZ450F, Ducati Multistrada V4 and more.
Meets or exceeds requirements of API SL and JASO MA-2 for 4-stroke motorcycles including Harley Davidson, Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki and others

The differences between motorcycle oil vs. car oil may seem more subtle than the differences between the engines that power cars versus motorcycles, but both types of oil are actually unique. That’s because automotive motor oils aren’t designed to handle the demands of high-revving motorcycles. Valvoline motorcycle oil is specially formulated for the requirements of engines running at higher RPMs and extreme temperatures, like cruisers, sport bikes, touring motorcycles, and off-road bikes – just about anything with two wheels and a 4-stroke motor. Featuring enhanced deposit protection and superior thermal/oxidative stability, Valvoline 4-Stroke Motorcycle Oil ensures peak performance, whether you’re rolling across an endless stretch of asphalt or winding your way through twisty backroads. Because motorcycles have a combined engine and transmission system, motorcycle oil needs to lubricate both, so that the engine and transmission can work even harder. Valvoline 4-Stroke Motorcycle Oil incorporates friction control to help prevent slippage, ensure smooth shifting and optimal power transfer, especially in motorcycles with wet clutch transmissions.
• Valvoline motorcycle oil is engineered for motorcycles specifying JASO MA/MA2 API SL. • Our anti-friction formulation exceeds all specifications set by the Japanese Automotive Standards Organization (JASO) and the American Petroleum Institute (API). • Always consult your owner’s manual for the correct grade and specifications required by your motorcycle manufacturer.
Valvoline offers a 10W-40 and 20W-50 motorcycle oil in a full synthetic and conventional blend.
