fork oil in engine.. fail
so the other day i was changing my oil because its way past due. as i was pouring in the oil i noticed it was green. yea.. fml so i quickly stopped. i probably added 50 ml of 10w fork oil in my engine. i added the regular engine oil and started riding. does anyone think this could cause any harm?
maybe i should have mentioned i tried but nothing was coming out. I wasn't about to use my 7 dollars a quart oil to flush it out either lol. besides that there both 10w oil right? i know that cycle oil is special because the shearing forces of the clutch but other than that it should be fine i hope
If it was only 50ml or so, that's OK.
Fork oil is like automatic transmission fluid (in fact I use ATF in my forks) - it's very light, so should just mix in. If you're in any doubt, take a little fork oil and put it with engine oil and see how it mixes- if it separates after you mix it, drain your oil, if not, just run it as is.
My 2c worth.
