  • [Help]: Changing Engine Oil

    HI,
    I would like to know after after how many kilometers we should change our bike oil and keep our bike servicing?
    Right now for my pulsar 150 Dtsi, i use castrol power 1 oil and i replace every 3 months .
    Can i continue using castrol power 1 or should go for another one?

      Power 1 is good enough. Although I have noticed that the clutch in my UG3 slips occasionally when Power 1 is used.Maybe this is a problem specific to my bike.
      Activ 4t is good too.

        I would vote for mak from BP. had it put in last time and next 2500 kms there werent much issues...clutch was smoother......Power 1 is also really good. you can also look for Mobil 1 mineral oils...

          u cud go for valvoline synthetic 10w40..great oil..260 bucks a litre..also oil change depends on how u rip your bike...oil cud be changed in an interval of 1500-2500 kms depending on your riding style..
          if u ride her like u did in the run-in period,it may well extend to 4000kms too..

            Change it anywhere between 1k~2.5k kms depending upon the type of oil used.(Mineral/SS)

            If it is a fully synthetic one like Motul 300V, u can sure use it for 5k kms atleast with just topping up.

            @Pavan

            U used Power 1 in ur 180? U have used the wrong grade. No wonder ur clutch slipped
            When everything comes ur way, u r in the wrong way ;)

              Go for Motul 10W50 MA2 perfect for Indian motorcycle.
              Servicing period of your motorcycle is written in your manual, check it.
              But 3-4K is perfect.

                        Honda Unicorn 2005 Oil change Interval

                        Hey guys I have lost my owners manual during my transfer from Mumbai to Bangalore, hence I am now a bit confused (3/4k km) about the oil change interval for my Unicorn (2005).

                        Currently I am using the stock Honda engine oil which I feel is not that great, can you guys suggest me a better oil & approx cost?

                        I am also curious about the performance of our Indian brands like BP Mak-4 T, HP racer etc oils.

                          I am sorry. My mistake, it's 15W50, not 10W50. it is mineral and cost is 230Rs.
                          Grade is 15W50 < API SM MA2
