Bike: 2004 Ducati 749r

Antifreeze should not be used much above a 50/50 mix. Above that it will actually have an adverse effect and stop cooling properly. A 50/50 mix will protect down to -40c, doubt many of our bikes see that.

Also, engine oil, say 10w/40, has the upper viscosity measured at 100c. So an engine running around 100c is not a problem for the engine oil.
