Take it easy brother it wont cause any harm, I have P180 2005 model, when i bought the bike in kolkata, we could only get Power1 15W40 or Activ 20W40, I used it for a while then switched to castrol GTX 20W50 as per Bajaj mechanics meant for cars, Thank God Castrol is selling 20W50 Activ 4T now, which i use now, you can buy that and even get the engine oil changed by a local mechanic, it just takes 5 mis, and dont worry there wont be any chemical locha

As Pulsar 150 company recommended oil speci is 20w40 and for Pulsar 180-200-220 company recommendation is 20w50 oilsOriginally posted by Omi View PostI got a Pulsar 220 Dtsi
I changed my oil to Motul 3000T 20w40
I read later that 20w40 is not recommended and i should use
20w50, should i change it immediately?
will it cause any problems?
which oil i should go for?
w40 or w50 means the thickness of the oil if you use w40 oil in your bike then the oil will not stick to the walls of the engine or cant give proper protection.
using 15w40 oil instead of 20w40 engine oil in pulsar 150cc means flowing of engine oil in engine is much easier as compared to 20w40 recommendation. Using wrong grade of engine oil results in a hard to operate clutch,notchy gearbox and internal engine damage.So the rating in starting could be change like 10w50 or 15w50 or any thing but remember don't forget the w50 rating should be there as constant.
