    AFAIK the group III are also mineral oils which are even more refined than the previous ones. They are called synthetic in few countries but in reality they are not. Only the group IV & V are synthetics.

    Example of group III oil is shell VSX.

      Yes, a few companies like Cast**ol use group III synthetics for cheaper rates, which is more of a marketing gimmick.

        True.

        The problem with castrol is it uses a lot of money on ads & other stupid things. The problem with other companies like agip, motul is they dont invest any money in the ads. Since most people go by tv & local mechanics they simply get the castrol without having the full knowledge about it. Hence the castrol has got better sales.

        To be honest i never knew that a company named agip existed until i joined xbhp. If not we xbhp guys & few others like the SC's i doubt the motul or agip would have even sold anything because most dont have any knowledge about the existence of such better companies.

        P.S:- Even i was using this castrol in my honda dio. Thanks to the half knowledge about it.. But from now on i would change to another one which is much better.

          Re: Tyre issue and oil leakage on p220 dtsi

          I am going to change my rear tire please help me on following issues-

          1] suggest me a good rear tire with a good angular grip, the stock tire i previously used (for 3 years) was not good. It got drift when i use brakes suddenly..... even not that good when the stock tire was new....

          suggest me a tire with good angular grip and same approximately same cross-section as the stock tire if possible....
          what about pulsar 200 ns tire?


          2]how can i find that my tire's grip is fine or not? Its have been three years and my front stock tire is running correctly. But i doubt it as my rear tire is got spoiled...how long will this front stock tire will run fine?


          3]I am thinking of replacing my front tire with a broad one, if i do then there would be any problem regarding this customization??


          sorry for my bad english
