AMSOIL for motorcycles
Motorcycles can place engine oil under high heat and, depending on the design, may share lubricant between the engine, transmission and wet clutch. Start with the motorcycle manufacturer's requirements and AMSOIL's dedicated motorcycle lookup.
Street, V-Twin and specialized applications
AMSOIL organizes motorcycle products by application, including general motorcycle oil and dedicated V-Twin choices. The correct viscosity and clutch compatibility depend on the motorcycle.

V-Twin Products
Oil, filters and kits aimed at V-Twin motorcycle applications.
Powersports Transmission Fluid
Transmission and powertrain fluids for select powersports applications.
Filters
Use the filter category and lookup tools to find the correct part.
Motorcycle oil has more than one job
Many motorcycles place the engine, transmission and wet clutch in the same lubricant system. That means the correct oil must satisfy the motorcycle manufacturer’s viscosity and performance requirements while working with the clutch and gearbox design.
Metric & sport bikes
High engine speeds, shared sumps and wet clutches can make motorcycle-specific performance requirements important.
V-Twin motorcycles
Some V-Twin designs use separate fluids for the engine, primary and transmission. Treat each component as its own lubrication decision.
Seasonal storage
Motorcycles that sit through winter benefit from a complete maintenance check before storage and again before returning to service.
Match the oil to the motorcycle, not just the viscosity
Two oils can share the same SAE viscosity while carrying different performance characteristics. Use the exact motorcycle year, make, model and engine when selecting an AMSOIL product.
Motorcycle FAQ
Can car oil be used in a motorcycle?
Only when it meets every requirement specified by the motorcycle manufacturer. Wet-clutch applications can make the choice more restrictive.
Do engine, primary and transmission fluids always match?
No. Some motorcycles use one lubricant for multiple components while others specify separate products. Follow the component-specific recommendation.
