Some crappy oil the svc put in at 1st service has been giving me hard gearshifts and a slight vibration at high gear n low speeds, like a deep rumble from the engine which cause the footrests to vibe, wasnt happening before... Time to change the oil @ just 1880 kms... this oil didnt even last 1500kms. mines a P220...

HERE I have a Q... We have two choices of Premium Oils AGIP and Motul
BUT which to go for guys
Motul 300v FS is awesome as we all know BUT consider this Agip Racing 4T Full Synthetic Engine Oil 5W40 is a 5W40 Oil where as Motul 300V 4T 15W50 100% Synthetic Engine Oil is a 15W50 oil. Isnt 5W40 much better refer these two links below where I got the above info from... I dont know which to go for now... help

Motul
300V Motul 300V 4T 15W50 100% Synthetic Engine Oil - Rs895.0..

AGIP
Agip Racing 4T Full Synthetic Engine Oil 5W40 - Rs620.00

DO I need to flush the engine before switching from mineral to synthetic ? Any of you guys did this before switching from mineral to synthetic ?

AND Motul products like chain cleaning n lubing are there similar alternatives... Motul products are a bit on the expensive side...
thnkx

Hi all,
this is sunny, previously I was using TVS oil ( crap) oil after that switch to elf mineral oil and it was good after that motul 3000 4t ( mineral again ) later thinking of using FS oil but confuse as which one to use. I was thinking of using motul FS oil 10w 40 but many says that motul FS is not giving good results as it is more viscous than mineral oils and petronas is not available in kolkata so switch to castrol power 1( semi syn ). There is no dam change I feel same as using mineral oil, no change, can anyone suggest me is it good to use motul 300v 10w40 FS oil ?? bike having apache RTR FI

i have a karizma ZMR and just came back from a trip to leh. changed the engine oil in manali. took shell VSX 10W40. brilliant engine oil. the engine ran super smooth inspite of the cloudbursted terrain. best part was the engine oil was delivered at home. and i packed and took it with me.
though the recommended engine oil is 10W30 this one worked like a charm.

highly recommended.

hi,

currently i have yamalube 20W 40 on my FZ16. The engine is super smooth throughout acceleration and deceleration.. however, i am having trouble with false gears while down shifting. Will try MOTUL 20W 40 in my next service which i expect to hit in the next 15 days or so and keep you guys posted..

20w40 is the min and max ambiance temp..
