While ignition oil motor oil doesnt directly affect the ignition system components like spark plugs o r coils, it plays an important role in keeping the entire engine, including the components that indirectly support the ignition system, running smoothly.

How Ignition Oil Affects Engine and Ignition System:

Lubrication of Engine Parts: Motor oil lubricates the moving parts within the engine, including camshafts, pistons, and other components. If oil is inadequate, it can cause excessive friction, leading to engine overheating, which can disrupt ignition timing and performance.
Preventing Corrosion: Fresh oil helps protect engine components from rust and corrosion, ensuring that ignition components like coils and spark plugs are free from internal damage due to contamination.
Temperature Regulation: Oil helps regulate engine temperature by dissipating heat. An overheated engine can lead to ignition system failures, misfires, and other performance issues.
Maintaining the Oil for Engine Health:

Optimal Oil Viscosity: Ensure that the oil used is of the correct viscosity as recommended by Suzuki to ensure smooth engine operation and indirect support for the ignition system.
Regular Oil Changes: Follow the manufacturers oil change intervals to maintain good oil condition, as dirty oil can cause problems that affect the engine and, indirectly, the ignition system.
What to Do:
Keep the engine oil clean and at the proper levels, and follow the recommended oil change intervals to ensure the ignition system works properly and the engine runs smoothly.
