PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS:
V.I. Plus 10w/40 is a blend of the highest quality base oils and selected additives. This combination insures smooth shifting and maximum horse power. The anti-wear additive in VI Plus minimizes wear and scuffing of metal surfaces under boundary lubrication conditions. The detergent-dispersant additives protect against sludge formation and varnish deposits. The anti-oxidant additive provides excellent resistance to oxidation during the high temperatures encountered during long idle periods.
V.I. Plus 10w/40 contains selected alkaline additives, which give a much higher TBN (Total Base Number) than regular motorcycle engine oils. This higher TBN provides much better protection against the formation of acidic compounds than conventional motorcycle engine oils. V.I. Plus 10w/40 also has a much higher viscosity index (VI) than conventional oils. This benefit provides better all weather (hot or cold) performance than regular motorcycle engine oil.
SUMMARY:
V.I. Plus 10w/40 Engine Oil provides the following advantages:
- Meets or exceeds the performance requirements of current and proposed four cycle motorcycle engine oil specifications
- Protects both air and coolant cooled engines from wear and deposits
- Resists soot-related viscosity increase
- Extends oil drain intervals
- Improves engine reliability and life
PERFORMANCE CAPABILITIES:
Meets and exceeds the following performance requirements: API: SJ, SH, SG
