havoline caltex change oil motorcycles

Regular change oil is essential to maintaining the life of precious machines. The consistent replenishment of oils and other fluids are necessary for optimum performance of combustion engines. May it be for cars or for two-wheeled vehicles, the case is just the same.

In fact, motorcycles would need the regular change oil more often (it's usually every 3,000 to 5,000 kilometers) – which means that the riders, as we dub them, have to be practical in terms of finding the right products for their treasured motors. They have to choose the high quality oils for their motorcycles and scooters that, of course, will not break their wallets. 

While we scour for the best engine oil for the two-wheeled machines, we came across Caltex Havoline’s range of motorcycle oils that cater directly to riders' maintenance needs. From brake fluid, to coolant, and even transmission fluid, Havoline® has been meeting the demands of customers the world over. It has been in the business of producing quality engine oils and a number of other fluids for more than 100 years.
