Motorcycles in Mexico are no longer just a hobby or a mobility alternative; they have become a vital tool for delivery drivers and couriers covering significant daily distances. The number of motorcycles in the country has dramatically increased, reaching 11.9 million units by 2025, with a substantial 425,000 individuals working as motorcycle drivers by early 2026.

This growth has created a market for products tailored to the specific demands of urban motorcycle use. Recognizing this, Quaker State has introduced the Power Rider Semisintรฉtico 10W-40 in Mexico. This new semi-synthetic oil is formulated to withstand the rigors of daily city riding, combining mineral and synthetic components to enhance resistance to high temperatures, minimize engine wear, and maintain stable performance during extended journeys.

The oil incorporates "Esferas Fusion Tech" technology, designed to keep the engine interior clean, manage contaminants, and preserve viscosity stability throughout the lubricant's lifespan. While the 10W-40 viscosity grade is common for 4-stroke motorcycle engines, users must always consult their motorcycle's manual for manufacturer-recommended specifications before changing oil. Quaker State offers this product in a 1-liter container, a common size for routine oil changes in low to mid-displacement motorcycles. The Power Rider Semisintรฉtico 10W-40 also meets the JASO MA2 standard, crucial for motorcycles where the engine, transmission, and clutch share the same lubricant, ensuring optimal clutch operation.
