Sounds reasonable
You sure about the 2.5k drain interval though..? Im switching to an alternate brand from the Honda stuff due to the drain interval..

The Idemitsu oil from Honda loses viscosity and goes dirty within 1.5k kms

The Veedol should last you close to 4K easily, I said 2.5K under the scenario where you don't like the oil.

@Speed_pujari: tu bhi naa....

true.

our engine oils including that 300v is coming from that barrel of crude oil..and then they put they veggie ester stuff..now if the price of barrel increases they have to increase their veggie ester oil price also..after all they are into business keeping certain margins for profit.and here i am talking ATLANTIC OILS here..let alone motul.

and in my 8000km usage of motul synthetics i observed one thing that the pulsar just loved the single ester fully synthetic COMPETITION.when i changed to factory line double ester,leaks are occuring now.and too bad that i cant get the competition.that was one hell of a oil keeping the pulsar fit and ready to run anytime.i miss that oil.

apparently the prices have been raised...the dealer here was telling me... i am using it right now in my efi.... if i find the performance acceptable then i will buy stock a couple more..

Good News for P150/RTR/ZMA/R15 Bike owners and other 20W40 engine oiled bikes.

Motul now has a a 5W40 300V Factory Line Fully Synthetic oil for sale. Its costs the same as the 15W50 300V can.

Atleast this is true for Bangalore, I am not sure if Motul dealers across the country have this oil now.

The Motul 5100T Semi-Synth is single ester, you can use that! I got no leaking issues with that!
