Motorycle, Scooter, and ATV Lubricants

Performance Developed Through Motorsport

Rock Oil’s involvement in motorcycle competition began in the early 1980s through its support of the Team Green Kawasaki motocross team.

Since then, the company has worked with leading riders and teams across road racing, motocross, speedway, grasstrack and other motorsport disciplines. This experience continues to influence the development of products designed to perform under high temperatures, extreme loads and prolonged high-speed operation.

Rock Oil has partnered with the Bennetts British Superbike Championship since 2015, maintaining a visible presence throughout the season through trackside activity, hospitality and the dedicated Rock Oil Round.

The knowledge gained through competition helps inform products for every kind of rider, whether racing on circuit, riding off-road, commuting on a scooter or maintaining a motorcycle for weekend use.

Supporting Modern Motorcycle Technology

Motorcycle lubricants face a unique combination of demands. In many motorcycles, the same oil must protect the engine, lubricate the gearbox and maintain the correct friction characteristics for a wet clutch.

Rock Oil products are developed around relevant API and JASO performance requirements, with options designed to support:

• Engine cleanliness and deposit control.
• Protection against wear and high-temperature oxidation.
• Reliable wet-clutch operation.
• Gear and transmission protection.
• Fuel efficiency.
• Catalytic converters and modern emissions systems.
• Consistent performance across changing riding conditions.

The range includes products meeting current API SP and JASO T903:2023 requirements, alongside lubricants for older, classic and specialist applications.

JASO MA and MA2 oils are intended for motorcycles with wet-clutch systems, while JASO MB products are commonly used in scooters and other applications where lower friction can support efficiency. The correct lubricant should always be selected according to the vehicle manufacturer’s stated viscosity and performance requirements.

Supporting Euro 5+ Motorcycles

Modern emissions standards place increasing importance on engine cleanliness, lubricant stability and catalytic-converter protection.

Selected Rock Oil motorcycle oils meet API SP requirements and use carefully balanced additive technology to provide engine protection while supporting the long-term performance of modern emissions-control systems.

These formulations are relevant to motorcycles designed around Euro 5 and Euro 5+ requirements, while also providing backwards compatibility for many engines previously requiring earlier API categories.

Explore the SYNTHESIS Motorcycle Range

SYNTHESIS is Rock Oil’s flagship range of advanced synthetic motorcycle lubricants.

Developed using Tri-Synthetic technology, the range combines ester, PAO and advanced base oils to support:

• High levels of wear protection.
• Engine cleanliness.
• Shear stability.
• Reduced lubricant consumption.
• Consistent clutch and gearbox performance.
• Protection under high-temperature and high-load conditions.

The range includes products for road, racing and off-road applications, with selected formulations meeting API SP and JASO MA2 requirements.

Testing presented within Rock Oil’s motorcycle brochure demonstrates improved piston cleanliness and camshaft-wear protection against the stated industry baselines, alongside controlled phosphorus levels to help protect modern catalytic converters.

Road and Racing Motorcycle Lubricants

Rock Oil supplies synthetic, semi-synthetic and mineral engine oils for modern road motorcycles, racing machines, touring bikes and classic applications.

The range includes products developed to support:

Because two-stroke applications can differ significantly, the correct product and mixing method should always be matched to the engine manufacturer’s instructions.

Off-Road Motorcycle and ATV Lubricants

Off-road motorcycles and ATVs operate in demanding environments where engines, clutches and gear systems are exposed to dirt, water, vibration, shock loading and major temperature changes.

Rock Oil provides dedicated four-stroke and two-stroke products for:

• Motocross.
• Enduro.
• Trials.
• Trail riding.

Scooter Lubricants

Scooters frequently operate in stop-start urban traffic, placing particular demands on engine cleanliness, temperature control and fuel efficiency.

Rock Oil supplies dedicated two-stroke and four-stroke scooter lubricants, including synthetic and semi-synthetic options for modern engines and catalytic-converter-equipped machines.

Products are available for applications requiring JASO MB performance, alongside injector and premix oils for two-stroke scooters.

The range is designed to help support:

• Smooth urban operation.
• Engine cleanliness.
• Reduced smoke in two-stroke applications.
