Bardahl Plasma LXR 5W40 Motorcycle Engine Oil - 1 Litre Premium Synthetic

When your trackday session or high-speed road run demands absolute engine protection at every rev, the Bardahl Plasma LXR 5W40 delivers. Engineered around Bardahl's exclusive E-P4 Plasma technology — electromagnetically enhanced vegetable esters — this 100% synthetic 4-stroke oil is built for riders who refuse to compromise on performance, whether they are chasing lap times or covering serious mileage in summer heat.

Key Features

• E-P4 Plasma technology: electromagnetically enhanced vegetable esters for extreme friction reduction and a tenacious lubricating film at race-level revs
• JASO MA2 certified: fully compatible with wet clutches for clean, slip-free gear changes under aggressive riding
• API SP rated: the latest specification, providing protection against LSPI and modern engine wear mechanisms
• Outstanding thermal stability: maintains consistent viscosity at high RPM, during sustained track use, and in peak summer temperatures
• Comprehensive wear and oxidation protection: guards against deposit build-up on pistons, valves and cylinder heads even during short runs or stop-and-go commuting
• Also available as a 5-litre canister (Ref. 33123) for workshops and frequent oil changers

Built for the Demands of Track and Road

The Plasma LXR 5W40 was developed specifically for the extreme thermal and mechanical loads generated by modern high-performance motorcycle engines. The E-P4 formulation creates a molecular protective layer that resists breakdown under sustained high-RPM stress — exactly the conditions found on track or during spirited mountain passes. On bikes like the BMW S1000RR or MV Agusta F3, where engine tolerances are tight and oil temperatures rise rapidly, this level of protection is not a luxury, it is a necessity.

Away from the circuit the same technology pays dividends on the road. The high viscosity index keeps the oil film stable during cold starts, extended idling, short urban trips and long touring stints alike. Oxidation inhibitors prevent sludge and varnish accumulation, keeping internal surfaces clean over the full service interval.

Who Is the Bardahl Plasma LXR 5W40 For?

This oil is the right choice for riders of high-performance 4-stroke motorcycles — sportbikes, naked bikes and touring machines — that specify a wet clutch-compatible lubricant meeting JASO MA2. It suits both modern engines requiring API SP and many earlier 4-stroke units where those specifications apply. Year-round riders who encounter wide temperature swings, as well as track day regulars and club racers, will benefit most from the E-P4 Plasma formulation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it compatible with wet clutches?

Yes. The JASO MA2 certification confirms full wet-clutch compatibility, ensuring consistent clutch feel and no slipping under hard use.

Can it be used in summer or extreme heat?

Absolutely. The E-P4 Plasma technology provides exceptional thermal stability, making this oil well suited to hot-weather riding, mountain passes and sustained high-RPM operation.

Does it protect during short trips and stop-and-go riding?

Yes. The high viscosity index keeps the oil film stable even at low speeds and during frequent cold starts, maintaining reliable protection across all riding styles.

Is it suitable for racing and track days?

Yes. The E-P4 base was engineered for extreme mechanical loads, making the Plasma LXR 5W40 an excellent choice for track days, club racing and performance-focused road riding.

Is it compatible with older motorcycles?

Yes, provided the engine requires an oil meeting API SP or JASO MA2 specifications and a 5W40 viscosity grade. Always confirm with your owner's manual.
