For synthetic, u have Motul 300v 5W40. It s the best synthetic oil by far. It would easily last 6k+ kms on the Activa. Costs around 750 bucks per litre.

I dont recommend the Castrol iterations, from my personal experience.

If u want semi synthetic, u have Vavoline Champ 4T, Veedol Super Swift, Gulf Pride 4T , etc. These would be better than mineral based ones and cost a little more.

If u want to use a mineral, it s good if u stick to Honda's OEM oil itself.

Has anyone tried the new oil being offered by Savita Chemicals under its own brand name, Savsoil? The link makes an interesting read.

Savita Chemicals manufactures HH oil under license from Idemitsu.
