Product Information
Full details
The Motul 5000 4T 10w-40 is an entry-level semi-synthetic engine oil designed for a wide range of motorcycles. It offers robust engine protection and promotes gearbox longevity thanks to its HC-Tech base stocks. A key benefit is its low Phosphorus and Sulphur content, which is ideal for motorcycles equipped with catalytic converters, ensuring compliance with Euro 2 and Euro 3 emission standards. One caveat is that it is an entry-level product, meaning it may not offer the absolute highest performance levels compared to premium synthetic oils for extreme conditions.

FAQs
Is Motul 5000 4T suitable for my motorcycle?
It is suitable for most street and off-road motorcycles that require a 10W-40 oil and meet API SJ/SH/SG and JASO MA specifications. Always consult your owner's manual to confirm compatibility.
Can I use this oil if my motorcycle does not have a catalytic converter?
Yes, the low phosphorus and sulfur content is beneficial but not exclusive to bikes with catalytic converters. It provides excellent general engine protection for all compatible motorcycles.
What is the difference between semi-synthetic and full synthetic oil?
Semi-synthetic oil is a blend of mineral and synthetic base stocks, offering a balance of performance and cost. Full synthetic oil uses entirely synthetic base stocks, generally providing superior protection under extreme temperatures and pressures.
How often should I change the oil?
Refer to your motorcycle's owner's manual for the recommended oil change interval. This typically ranges from 3,000 to 6,000 miles or every 6 to 12 months, whichever comes first.
What does JASO MA mean?
JASO MA is a standard that ensures the oil is suitable for wet clutch systems found in most motorcycles, preventing clutch slippage.
Where should I store unused oil?
Store the oil in its original container, tightly sealed, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
Oil level appears low between changes.
Check for leaks around the engine and oil drain plug. Top up oil to the correct level if necessary.
Gear changes feel rough or clutch slips.
Ensure the correct oil grade (JASO MA) is used and that the oil level is correct. If the issue persists, the clutch plates may need inspection.
Engine runs hotter than usual.
Verify the oil level is correct. Old or degraded oil can reduce heat dissipation; consider an oil change.
