            On of the member who won a can here had a very tough time with his bike after using this oil. It seems that this might be a duplicate oil can as we all know that there are lot of castrol duplicates running in market. Has anyone had any issue with these oil cans? Are these duplicate?
            @Amitmalve: Sorry, but i feel offended by your post. You are accusing xBhp of sending you duplicate Castrol oil.

            These cans were sent to us directly by Castrol and from xBhp office were distributed to winners by us only. We don't have a business of selling duplicate Castrol oil and why would castrol send us the duplicate cans.

            Can you please elaborate which bike your friend was riding and what sort of problems he faced after using this oil?

            There were more than 30 winners who got the cans and none of them have reported any issue with the oil.

              And that would be me sir.
              Used this oil in my Pulsar 180 UG-IV...
              Problems faced after filling the engine with this oil -
              - Bike resists to go over 8,000rpm or 110kmph.
              - Gear shifting is very hard.
              - Fuel average gone for toss, eats up most of the engine power, There is a direct calculation for low average. Since the bike resists to go over 8,000rpm you are completely opening the throttle in such case. The fuel supply is maximum but you aint getting that type of response. Privious used oils full throttle use to be around 9,500 rpm straight red lining and speeds around 120kmph, now at 110kmph full throttle and max fuel usage.
              - Engine overheating, i could sense the heat while riding over 30mins of time be early morning.
              - After draining the mech says there is hardly any oil left in your bike, good you changed it now or else your engine might have jammed.

              This is what i faced in the last 2,000kms. Yet it said that this one can last for 7,500 kms.

              The Mech drained the oil for replacement, we measured in the oil cup and the exact volume noted was around 500-600 ml and that also after 2,000kms of running. Yet, the oil could be lasted around 7,500 or 10,000 or even be normal 5,000 kms. But at 2,000kms it is in this quantity i doubt it to go that far.

              Sir, I have topped up my bike now with motul 20w50. It took a day's time to get back to original output. But now everything is fine...

              That would be it Sir.

                ^^ thats the reason for my initial post(though i immediately deleted it). I never meant to offend sunil sir or accuse xbhp for anything. We all respect them a lot.

                I would appreciate if other winners write in their experience with this oil.
