    Query approved.

    The P220s have O-ring chains that have rubber O-ring into their metal rollers. So if you use wrong material to clean the chain, the chain will absorb that material and would swell, rendering it useless.

    don't know what that 90 number wala oil is though!

            Motul Chain clean cans are available for around 480 bucks. Try sourcing them from Motul distributors. They also have the Chain Lube which retails for around 450 bucks. Both these cans are aerosol based, so its easy to use. Just point and spray.

            Edit - i havent yet used my chain clean can, but the lube, i've used it some 5-6 times and i've still got quite a bit left. A can of chain lube should last at least 10-12 instances of use.

                I dunno if this helps, but if i try breaking down the costs....

                Cost of the can ~500 bucks. Lasts around 10 usages. Each use = 50 bucks. Cheaper than the service center.

                          SAE 90 oil is used for lubrication while diesel may be used for cleaning prior to the lubrication. I use diesel for cleaning and Castrol SAE 90 oil for lubrication. Bajaj recommends OKS 450/451 lubrication spray. Method of chain lubrication is aptly illustrated in the user manual itself.

                            SAE90 gear oil is recomended by HH in my user-manual for chain lubrication. I got HP EP90 gear oil from HP petrol-pump , Rs 75 for a half-litre canister . It works very nicely , my chain is wet and clean
                            since the last 500km when i checked . Get any sae90/ep90 grade gear
                            oil from a petrol pump and apply with oil-can . That's your 90 wala oil
