the jacket they send was marked "L"

Oil used the the standard Honda mineral 10w30 in 800ml plasctic bottles they used 4 some was left over.Rs130/- per bottle sorry dont have any pictures looks like the same type grey color servo oil bottle with honda logo on it.Some company Sanchi or some name like it make it for them.
They recomend it Ashok (same guy who came to your place) so i stuck to it, he told me he prefers the use of normal compared to synthetic.
Personally i have seen a big diffrence in my P220 when using veedol mineral as compared to veedol symi synthetic bike was definatly smooth grear engaged better even the castrol 4t extra was good as well.
Lot of debate rages on on the matter - i would perhaps switch to semi-synthecis in the next oil change or perhaps in the 3rd service .

on fuel..
I could not make out any knocking more because i cant understand any sound in this bike its too noisy (cars i can make out) but say a definate reduction in pickup at the lower rpm range. I still havent tried sudden acceleration.
