Fully synthetic on first service - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

KLM364 · 12-21-2011, 02:49 PM

When I was looking through the threads I saw that we need to wait 4000 or 6000 kms before putting FS on new motorcycles but when I gave my R15 for the first service they put FS at 800km. I believe that I can't change it back to mineral or SS now. Is this bad for the bike? Will this cause a problem later?

@KLM

Buddy you better wait and complete ur runnin and use mineral oil till 10,000kms so that engine sets and proper wear and tear occurs.After that you can shift to Fully synthetic oil.I suggest you first shift to semi synthetic and then to fully.

P.S:

Present oil wont cause any harm.It will only prolong ur wear and tear procedure.Nothing to worry.

If you use FS so early, then you have to run-in for longer period of time may be 10k instead of 2k.
Btw, what oil it is.. I mean name?

Read your R15 owners manual , what does it say about oil ? As far as I can recall yamaha specifies Semi-Synthetic/Synthetic Yamalube for that bike and it comes filled with with the same from factory too .

@Honda_CBF
On the 1st service bill it says they used full synthetic motor oil 15W50

@Pinaki
manual says SAE 20W-40 or SAE 20W-50

Does this mean i have to keep the bike below 6k rpm till 10k kms?

Read somewhere that using FS oil early in R15 is normal and wont cause any problems.Not sure though

Post this query at R15 Ownership Thread.

When i posted in the ownership thread someone did say that he used FS very early and had no problems with it

Honda_CBF · 12-25-2011, 10:43 PM

There won't be any problem or issues if FS oils is used early.
The only thing it will cause is prolong engine run-in period.
When engines are runned-in with mineral oils one must not rev high (usually 4k rpm on most Indian bikes) but i dont know anyone (including me) who runned-in with synthetic oil so i really can't comment on that.
So, be sure there won't be any problem with FS, Period.
