Motorcyclists Debate Diesel Oil Use: Performance vs. Risk

Bucaramanga, Colombia - A recent video featuring motorcyclist Juan Felipe and Ricardo Gómez, founder of Ceinautos, has ignited a debate within the motorcycling community regarding the use of diesel engine oil in motorcycles. Juan Felipe, an Xpulse owner, shared his decision to switch to Mobil Delvac 15W-40 diesel oil, citing its high performance and extended change intervals as primary motivators. "The performance is quite high, and the extended mileage means I can change the oil every year instead of every three months, which is a marvelous thing for savings," Juan Felipe stated. He admitted initial apprehension, speaking extensively with Professor Gómez before making the switch, due to common concerns about clutch lubrication. Ricardo Gómez, representing Ceinautos, a technical institute dedicated to educating Santandereans on lubricants, provided context on the specifications and suitability of different oils. The discussion highlights a growing interest among riders in exploring unconventional maintenance practices for potential economic benefits, while emphasizing the importance of informed decisions based on technical understanding.
