What is the difference between an ordinary bike engine and oil cooled Pulsar 200 engine?

Aren't all engines oil cooled.What is the advantage??What is the difference between an ordinary bike engine and oil cooled Pulsar 200 engine?
Most bike engines are air cooled or water cooled, Air cooled is as it says cooled by the air. Water cooled has coolant being pumped round the engine, the coolant is then pumped into the radiator on the front and is cooled. In oil cooled bikes such as the Bandit 600, the engine oil is pumped through a radiator at the front of the bike to help cool it. The avangtage is that the engine runs at a lower temp.What is the difference between an ordinary bike engine and oil cooled Pulsar 200 engine?
Firstly please understand the function of oil in the engine. It is meant to lubricate the cylinder walls and other parts in the engine. It has to work very hard and has a limited life span after which it has to be replaced. When the oil becomes bad, it not only changes colour, it also looses its viscosity (thickness). One of the main reasons why oil becomes bad is HEAT. In most normal vehicles, (commuter vehicles) the engine oil works within a certain temp.range and is properly cooled. However when the vehicle has sporty intentions / pretentions, the owners love to flog them and test their various speed limitations. Under these circumstances, the oil life would be severely reduced because of the excess heat generation due to racing / high r.p.m. So in order to have a reasonable life / change interval for the oil (so that you don't have to run to the service station every now and then or risk ruining your engine; the manufacturers' have thoughtfully provided for an oil cooler. This cooler is located in the wind stream where the excess heat is removed and the cooled oil is sent back to do its job. So the engine works consistently (despite the demands) and the oil too has a normal life span.
You're right, all 4 stroke engines are oil cooled to a certain extent. Many use a spray of oil from the crankshaft onto the bottom of the pistons to cool them. On the average, oil removes (through heat) 5% of the energy contained in a gallon of gas or diesel.





From there, the other people are right concerning methods of additional cooling for the engine. And guys, don't forget oil coolers! That's what they do, COOL the OIL!
i dont know i hv car.
The difference is in the cooling system. In oilcooled engine oil is circulated through the cylinder to keep the engine cool as in most of the Four wheelers, whereas in ordinary bike the the cooling of engine is done by air( Just see fins over the cylinder which helps distribute the heat to air)
yeah all engines are same but there the cooling agent differs





like air, water, oil ......
ordinary bike engine is a two stroke air-cooled onewhereas oilcooled engine as the name imples is cooled by coils to reduce heat in the system thus enhance efficiency
