My bike has run about 4500-5000kms till now and i'm really tempted to shift directly from my mineral oil to the petronas due to its price. 
Also can you tell if you changed the oil filter as well while shifting to this oil.
And if you poured 1litre or bought 2 bottles for that extra .1l(with new filter)
And also what do you feel about the engine heat ? i remember reading in engine oils thread that bikes run hotter with this oil. is it true ? |
I have run some 780kms after the oil change. I'm very happy with the oil. The gear shift has become so smooth that I shift gears with only my big toe, even when I ride without footwear sometimes accross the street
. The gears engage both sides even when the bike is at standstill from 1to4. It does not go to the 5th and 6th.
The engine is super smooth and freely reving.
I did not change the oil filter. Will change it next time.
About the engine heat, I dont know really. The engine is smooth even after long rides. I'll keep an eye on it and post it here. I'm going to pune on the bike this thursday. Will get a chance to examine the engine oil performance in the ride.
