I'm not doubting on the quality of the oil..it's just that....there is no synthetic blend from petronas in 20w50...
and there will be much difference in mineral and synthetic one..!!

and about castrol power racing 1....many people might be using in their p200/220...but not many are coming our with a positive result just because the oil is just not made for such bikes....
and not many people would rather try to experiment with oil if it's worth 800bucks and that too the grade is 10w40 instead for 20w50... its just an opinion...
But I'll say Motul 5100 will be in best of all withing the price range and considering the grade factor

We don't really know how good it is. But then at Rs330, any fully synthetic should be paisa vasool... and we are banking on Petronas's racing bikes using the same oil!

Ahem... finally I have the data... I wanted the on-paper specs of Fully Synth 4T oils and had to work very hard for these... A JPEG is attached with this post. If you guys have more concrete data please let me know...

Now let us check the values for each parameter of each oil and discuss upon which oil has better characteristics and which one can be better under what conditions...

Default Please help me..

Hi guys,


I am using pulsar 200 for about an year now...i'm not satisfied with the performance of the bike and also i think to change to motul 300v oil now which is fully synthetic...

the main problem with other oils is that it is not freely revving...i feel that something is obstructing it to revv freely..

But the main problem with me is that i have no idea from where i can get motul oil, i am from trivandrum, kerala..

If anyone has any idea about this please let me know..

After how many km should I change the engine oil for my Bajaj Platina?
I currently use Castrol 20W40 Oil and replace the oil every 2500km.

Does the manual mention oil change every 2500 kms? All Bajaj's I've seen (didn't check the Platina manual) had a service interval of 2000 kms.. also, the oil u r using is good for 2000 kms and if u drive hard or in regular traffic jams it is recommended that u change oil every 2000 kms.
