I was told that Yamalube semi synthetic does not come in 15w40 grade. I think both of you must be using 15w50.

He quoted almost the same price too! Infact I bought it and then saw the grade - 15w50. And returned it. He said only 20w40 and 15w50 Yamalubes are available. But as you said I will ask for R15 engine oil.

Sorry bro sorry for the wrong info. from me... Yamalube semi syn. ver is as you said is 15W50 not 15W40(the SVC sucker told me its 15W40) after your reply i asked again he told oh sorry i was wrong... going to change to Castrol Semi.syn 15W40...

You can try 5w40 or 10w40 as well, but do not go for xw30 oil. i.e., don't go below 40. Above is fine though, like 15w50.

Above 40 would be slightly too viscous for a 125cc bike. Since recommended grade is 20w40, one can go for 5w40, 10w40, 15w40 or 20w40.

The Yamalube Semi-synthetic is in 15W50 grade and as I mentioned earlier looks and feels very similar to Motul 5100. I guess it's a rebadged Motul.

Which is good.Someone more knowledgeable can confirm the same. The only problem is obtaining it. I asked for a bottle of the same and the SC guys here were adamant on proving that only R15 can run on this oil. Must have been the last bottle that was left in the showroom. Anyway,it's in my bike now. Difference over the Yamalube Mineral is obvious.
The exhaust beats are more pronounced and consistent.Plus the bike accelerates to 60-70 easily which wasnt the case with the mineral one.
Gearshifts are smoother as well.
Better to go for this then the similarly priced Castrol Power One.

so shall i go for it??

but u told the grading is 15w50.. wont the oil be little thick for our bike as gladiator uses xxW40??
even as i hav told in my previous post my bike has completed only 3900 kms. Is it ok for me to use the semi-synth??

i dint understand ur last line "Better to go for this then the similarly priced Castrol Power One"

did the oil increase the fuel efficiency of the bike??

In simple words,no it wont harm the bike. Although the SC guys would recommend you not to use it. There are warranty issues associated with not using the recommended grade of oil.
The oil will be thicker and you could encounter some cold start issues. But once you have warmed up the engine and are on the move,it's much better than the mineral Yamalube. Plus the fuel efficiency increases as well.

Castrol Power One is closely priced with it.Hence I said that the Yamalube Semi synth is a better option between the two.

**nightwing** · 05-08-2010, 01:45 PM

Power One is more expensive here since the last time I inquired.
