Description

Eni i-Ride moto 20W-50 is a fully synthetic oil from the i-Ride moto line for high-output four-stroke motorcycle engines. Its low volatility reduces the amount of oil burnt off in service.

The oil meets API SN and JASO MA2; its JASO registration number is M039ENL040. The data sheet lists no official approvals from motorcycle manufacturers.

Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 142 mm²/s at 40 °C and 20.1 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 163, pour point -45 °C, flash point 230 °C, density 853 kg/m³.

Application

High-output four-stroke motorcycle engines.

Worth knowing

The two 20W-50 oils with JASO MA2 in the Eni line are almost the same at 100 °C: 20.1 mm²/s here and 20.2 mm²/s in i-Ride Special 20W-50. Their API class differs, SN for this oil and SM for Special, so of this pair only i-Ride moto 20W-50 meets an API SN requirement. The Eni data sheet separately stresses its resistance to mechanical shear and calls this property a prerequisite for motorcycles where one oil lubricates both the engine and the gearbox.

The standout figure on the data sheet, a pour point of -45 °C, is lower than that of the 10W-30 in the same line (-33 °C). It says nothing about starting in cold weather: one of the cold limits of the 20W grade is set by cranking at -15 °C, and that is exactly where Eni measures it: 4300 mPa·s. The article on what the figures on an oil data sheet tell you explains why the pour point is the most misleading row of the table.
