on of the reasons people say you cant use car oil in a bike is
a its not designed for the extreme speeds
b it doesn't have the necessarily property's to properly lubricate a gearbox.
which brings me to my question.
the Citroen rated gearbox oil is about 70 euro for the 2 litres you need
high quality motorbike oil is about 32 euro for 3.5 litres
so why wouldnt the motorbike oil do in a gearbox?
its designed for a gearbox in a motorbike,
a berlingo gearbox goes nowhere near the speeds a motorbike gearbox goes.
can anyone think of a reason why not?
