Oils and lubricants in karting: ensuring performance and engine longevity

The essential role of oil in karting

In karting, engines often run at high RPM. Good lubrication is vital to avoid premature wear.

2-stroke oils for karting engines

Rotax or IAME engines require specific 2T competition oils. Their formulation ensures clean combustion and optimal protection.

Fuel mixture and maintenance

The correct oil/fuel ratio is crucial. Too much oil clogs the engine, too little damages it. Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Lubricants for transmission and maintenance

Beyond the engine, other components also need regular lubrication: chain, bearings, etc.

Conclusion

High-quality oils and lubricants extend engine life and boost performance. ITAKAshop offers a selection of the best brands used in competition.
