Does anyone know if you can use motorcycle oil in a scooby? I have access to (free) Silkolene Pro4 fully synthetic motorcycle oil. I have read that motorcycles are harder on oil than cars as they run to higher rpm's and hotter so they should be up to the job, but I don't know if cars and bikes use different additives...?

You know the saying, any oil is better than no oil. It would do until you got the proper oil but i only use millers 10/60 in the scoob.

Don't do it.
Motorcycles usually have the gearbox lubricated with the same oil as the engine, so there are additives used in motorcycle oil for that use, and seeing the Scooby has a seperate gearbox/lubrication system the additives used in the Motorcycle oil are useless, and maybe even detrimental.

Thanks, decided not to risk it. Silkolene did reply though, they recomended Silkolene Titan Pro S 5W/30. But I don't fancy that either.
Cheers
