I have some...

Silkolene Superma 10w/40 Motor oil (SAE 10w/40 API SJ/CF)

and some

Silkolene Turbolene XTR2 10w/40 (SAE 10w/40 API SJ/CF)

Are there ok to use in a Corsa B? I think they might be bike oil but not sure??? How can i tell as it says nothing about it on it.

Just get some halfords 10w40 semisynth.. More that adequate for the corsa.

Also do not use motorcycle oils they have friction modifiers for the wet-clutch setup that will FUCK your engine up.

Scooters and some 125's (RS, Mito etc) anything that makes a 'bee in a tin can' noise is a 2t, most bikes now are 4t. 2t's are being phased out due to emissions regulations, which is a shame cos the power / cc and smell of 2t is amazing

2 stroke oil is burnt in a 2 stroke engine unlike 4 stroke oil which is reused.. 2 stroke oil is normally red/orange and smells nice
