                is the grade same for splendours etc? woah that is news to me!

                I was always under the impression that the 20W40 grade oil was the most preferred grade oil in India.

                  It used to be 20w40 till a few years back but then they switched to 10w30 in like 2009 in the interest of increased fuel economy. Apparently they are interchangeable on the newer engines. From what I know, both w30 and w40 are alright at least on the cars across the temperature range experienced in most of India.

                    Does Honda has its own oil in this grade? Probably that explains it too

                    A lot of places in India does get to see close to 40 degrees... Infact it feels more than 40 degrees due to the level of humidity. And yes most lube today are multi grade ones, but I doubt how much degree of comfort would a 10W30 give one as compared to a 10W40 or 20W40/50!

Wouldn't a soft compound be suffice? I'll be happy to improve my braking & grips, but the only flip side is, I expect it to last atleast 8-10K on ODO.
                        Yes I completely forgot the suspension part I think it plays a major role in what I said earlier about handling potholes.. Not only the pro-link, even the soft front suspension..

                        Yes, Honda do have their own oil, both 10W30 and 20W40. But now they recommend 10W30 only.

                          Right my bad. Am not sure if you followed the rest of the posts.


                          The point was this. Most Indian Oil companies recommend the 20W40/50 grade oil for Indian conditions. These are organisations which have spend millions in testing with respect to Indian climatic conditions.
                          Like antz rightly pointed out. The 10W30 range of oil operates effeciently with the temprature range of -25 degrees to 40~ degrees

                          Most of India never sees less than 5 degrees, but they do see temprature as high as 40 degrees.

                          What this mean is that you are spending your money on a oil that honda badges and sells which is probably not the smartest choice. Why? simply for the reason that you are better off having a buffer space on the higher temprature viscosity than have a 30 degrees buffer on the coldest it can get.

                          Still think 10W30 is a smart choice?

                            Why would that matter as long as:

                            1. The Honda branded oils are priced reasonably compared to competition. (IMO Motul 300v that I use is terribly overpriced. How is 7100 BTW?)
                            2. The engine lasts an eternity (since it is a Honda after all ). If it doesn't you have WARRANTY!!!
                            3. You get reasonably good Fuel economy out of this bargain . (A more viscous oil will create more restriction inside the crankcase leading to lower FE)
                            Advice is a form of nostalgia.
                            Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

                              Agreed. By that logic you can put cow urine if Honda ever recommends it and or decides to sell it :P

                              The point isnt that. The point is IF its indeed the right choice for India, especially for the automagically compliance with the older cb100 engines.. All I am hoping is that Honda has an engineer who can certify the prescription instead of a marketing chap! Simple!

                              (Ps we are going OT)

                                Satyen - 10W30 Fully Synthetic is different & superior than what 20W40/50 mineral is capable, unless you're talking about 20W40 FS, which I hope is quite rare to find in the market. Hope you got the point. I'm talking about CBR 250R, other motorcycles...sorry, I don't know.

                                Antz - Used 7100 20W50 in the past; oil disappeared without a trace in less than 100 Kms; PSR Ji knows about it. Will experiment on Motul 10W40FS & post the outcome in few months.

                                Kishore - Pls give me sometime, I'm having hard time in finding a tire (don't want to go through word of mouth & want to understand things, hence taking time). Once I get a hold, I'll make a post here.

                                Appu - You've an insane FE
