High-performance lubricants formulated to optimize power delivery, thermal stability, and engine lifespan under extreme conditions.
In modern tribology, the motorcycle engine represents one of the most severe environments for lubrication. Unlike passenger car engines, which segregate the engine, clutch, and gearbox lubricants, most motorcycles utilize a single unified sump to lubricate all three critical areas. This creates a multi-faceted performance challenge: the oil must have a high friction coefficient to prevent wet-clutch slippage (satisfying JASO MA/MA2 specifications), protect high-load gears against pitting, and maintain stable viscosity in the face of extreme thermal loads and high shear rates.
Shandong Longhai Lubrication Technology Development Co., Ltd. addresses this industry reality by formulating synthetic and semi-synthetic products that withstand high heat, minimize evaporation loss (Noack volatility), and keep internal surfaces free of varnish and sludge. By exporting highly stable formulations, we optimize the motorcycle oil change cycle, converting standard maintenance into a driver of equipment longevity.
The worldwide demand for motorcycle lubricants is shifting toward higher specification levels (API SN/SP and JASO MA2). Rapid urbanization in Southeast Asia, Latin America, and East Africa has driven massive volume demands, while North American and European markets seek high-tier fully synthetic lubricants designed for premium sports motorcycles.
To meet this global scale, Shandong Longhai operates an advanced manufacturing footprint. With an annual production capacity of 200,000 tons and a production base spanning 131 acres, we deploy high-throughput automated blending and metering filling lines. This equipment ensures filling accuracy to within 1‰-2‰, while increasing throughput speed by 20% to 35%. This high-precision capacity allows us to rapidly execute OEM/ODM orders, providing scalable logistics and consistent product quality to global distributors.
Global market penetration requires absolute compliance with international regulatory bodies. Shandong Longhai’s facilities are fully certified to ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management System), ISO 14001:2015 (Environmental Management System), and ISO 45001:2018 (Occupational Health and Safety Management System). Our automatic transmission oils carry prestigious approvals, including Mercedes-Benz certifications, affirming our compliance with high-tier European OEM standards.
Furthermore, our products are backed by liability insurance from the People's Insurance Company of China (PICC), giving distributors and end-users peace of mind. For motorcycle oil changes, we ensure that every batch meets the precise kinematic viscosity, shear stability index (SSI), and total base number (TBN) requirements specified by global standards.
Formulating customized viscosities (such as 10W-30 for fuel efficiency or 20W-50 for high-ambient heat) to match the distinct regional climates of targeted export markets.
Developing advanced chemical additive systems with highly stable phosphorus and zinc (ZDDP) levels, balancing wet-clutch friction parameters (JASO MA2) with wear protection.
Ensuring full alignment with REACH regulations in Europe, custom clearance protocols in LATAM, and national standard organizations throughout Southeast Asia.

Motorcycle engine requirements vary widely by application. Lubricants must adapt to specific service realities to protect the wet-clutch system and geartrain:
Delivery vehicles operate under stop-and-go conditions with long idling periods and variable payloads. This behavior leads to accelerated fuel dilution and rapid depletion of anti-wear additives. Our formulations feature shear-stable polymers and robust detergent packages that neutralize combustion acids, keeping piston crowns and oil passages clear even under continuous stop-start cycles.
Often operating in developing markets, heavy-duty cargo tricycles carry massive loads at low road speeds. The engine runs hot under high torque demand. Longhai's high-viscosity formulations (like 20W-50 and heavy-duty gear oils) provide a thick lubricating film that cushions bearings, controls wear under heavy loads, and limits blow-by.
Modern high-performance engines run at high rotational speeds, generating high shear stresses. Standard passenger car motor oils will experience polymer shear, causing viscosity drop and metal-to-metal contact. Shandong Longhai’s premium fully synthetic motorcycle lubricants use high-viscosity-index base stocks that resist shear and keep gear shifting smooth.

The global motorcycle industry is undergoing rapid technical evolution. Emissions standards like Euro 5 and Euro 6 require catalysts to work efficiently over their designed lifetime. This places strict limits on the volatile components in engine oil (such as phosphorus and sulfur) to prevent catalyst poisoning, without sacrificing engine wear protection.
Additionally, electric motorcycle sales are rising. Although they lack traditional internal combustion engines, they require specialized e-driveline fluids and cooling fluids to manage the high torque and heat generated by electric motors. Shandong Longhai’s laboratory is currently researching low-viscosity, highly dielectric transmission and coolant fluids to support the next generation of electric two-wheelers, securing our position at the forefront of global tribological advancements.
Expert answers to common questions about motorcycle lubrication performance, standards, and global supply.
Unlike passenger cars, most motorcycles use a single oil to lubricate the engine, gearbox, and wet clutch. JASO MA2 specification guarantees a high friction coefficient, which prevents clutch slippage under high torque and ensures efficient power transfer.
We formulate our high-performance oils using Group II hydrotreated and Group III hydrocracked base oils, along with selected Group IV Polyalphaolefins (PAO). This combination yields excellent thermal stability, low volatility, and resistance to shear under extreme loads.
With 15+ years of experience and dedicated laboratories, we adjust viscosity profiles, additive packages (such as extra anti-wear or friction modifiers), and packaging sizes to match the regulatory and climatic requirements of your local market.
Our factory operates under ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 guidelines. Every batch of base oil and additive undergoes strict testing (viscosity index, flash point, pour point, and shear stability) before filling, using automated metering lines that maintain 1‰-2‰ filling accuracy.
