Product Information

Full details

The Motul 5000 4T 10W40 is designed for motorcycle owners seeking a reliable, high-performance semi-synthetic oil that balances engine protection with gearbox durability. It is an ideal choice for street, road, and off-road riders whose bikes require JASO MA and API SJ/SH/SG standards; however, riders with high-performance racing requirements may need to look toward Motul's fully synthetic line to reach the highest possible stress thresholds.

FAQs

Can I use this oil in my car?

No. This oil is specifically formulated for wet-clutch motorcycle gearboxes and contains additives that are not designed for the specific needs of automotive engines.

Is this a full synthetic oil?

No, it is a semi-synthetic lubricant reinforced with Motul's HC-Tech base stocks.

How often should I change this oil?

Always follow the service intervals recommended in your motorcycle's owner's manual, as intervals vary based on engine design and usage conditions.

What does the JASO MA rating mean?

It indicates that the oil has the appropriate frictional characteristics to function correctly in a motorcycle engine that shares the same oil supply with a wet clutch.

Can I mix this with other brands?

While it can be mixed with other lubricants, it is highly recommended to perform a full oil change with the same product to ensure the additive packages do not conflict.

Does this meet Euro3 emission standards?

Yes, its low Phosphorus and Sulphur content allows it to be used in motorcycles equipped with catalytic converters meeting Euro2 or Euro3 standards.

Troubleshooting

Clutch slippage noticed after oil change

Verify that the clutch cable tension is correct and ensure the oil used meets the JASO MA specification as required by the manufacturer.

Oil appears dark or milky shortly after use

Darkening is normal due to detergents cleaning the engine. If it appears milky, check for coolant leaks or moisture ingress in the crankcase.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent protection for integrated gearboxes
  • Compatible with both catalytic and non-catalytic exhaust systems
  • Prevents clutch slippage in wet-clutch systems
  • Provides reliable thermal stability during standard operation

Cons

  • Not a fully synthetic oil, limiting extreme high-heat performance
  • Requires more frequent change intervals than premium ester-based synthetics
  • Not suitable for engines requiring lower viscosity grades like 5W30 or 10W30

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure peak performance, always verify your motorcycle owner's manual to confirm that the 10W40 viscosity grade and API SJ/JASO MA specifications meet your manufacturer's requirements.

  1. Drain the old oil completely while the engine is warm to ensure impurities are flushed out.
  2. Always replace the oil filter when changing your oil to maintain oil purity.
  3. Add the required volume of Motul 5000 4T according to the dipstick or sight glass level.
  4. Dispose of used oil at an authorized recycling center rather than pouring it down drains.

Store the container in a cool, dry place and ensure the cap is tightened firmly to prevent moisture contamination.
