Update on scooter engine oil prices as of March 2026

Oil is a component that must be changed regularly to maintain the performance and health of a motorcycle’s engine. Lubricants play a crucial role because the engine’s internals comprise metal components that rub against each other when operating. Without optimal lubrication, friction between components can accelerate wear and shorten the engine’s service life. Therefore, oil changes must not be neglected by vehicle owners. According to Victor Assani, 2W Service Head at PT Suzuki Indomobil Sales (SIS), motor oil should ideally be replaced every 3,000 kilometres or every three months, whichever comes first. That interval is important to keep lubrication quality optimal. Oil that is late in being changed will degrade in quality and tend to thicken. This condition means the oil’s main functions—lubricating, cleaning, and cooling the engine—no longer operate at their best.
