Question Is STP oil for motorcycles?

Probably the wrong place to post this 😅 but I would like to know if the brand STP motor oil is compatible with motorcycles or just cars. Nothing on the bottle specifically says ONLY CARS or NOT FOR MOTORCYCLES so I'm assuming it's neutral? Really don't feel like buying more oil as I misplaced my receipt (not sure if you can even return new, unopened oil) but I don't want to screw up my Yamaha Majesty or TaoTao Hellcat by putting in the wrong stuff lol. I have one SAE 10W-30 and another 10W-40 if it matters. Nothing said about wet clutches or MA2 rated on the bottle either.

Oh yeah sorry but also is coolant all the same? Like is there specific coolant for motorcycles or is it all the same stuff. Ok thanks lol.

If you want your bike to last you'll use motorcycle-specific oil, like was posted in your other thread.


BTW, The Hellcat is air-cooled...

Play safe: Flush the system b4 putting new coolant. U never know what happens when old & new mixed together.

That is automotive oil it has additives that will ruin your clutch.
