Svc create trouble only in 1st servicing.... I service my bro's pulsar from my local svc and they dont mind what oil is used...they know he uses 300v... No warranty issus so far... And changing to 15w50 from 20w50 will void warranty..again if svc comes to know... Its better to use 15w50 than 20w50... Even better if you can find 10w50... Lower the front number better it will start when engine is cold...
    hey Rahul,
    I changed to Motul 3000 15w20 yesterday and the idling rpm now dropped down to 1000 from 1300. Also when engine is hot it idles at 1500 instead of 1800. Is this due to the thinness of this oil (VI15 instead of VI20)?? The AFR screw is not touched at all. Also I read somewhere that using thinner oils (10W30 for 10W40 etc) increase the FE in Asian climates (generally hot). It it so??

    Also correct me if I am wrong, esters have detergent properties (ie washing away deposited carbon/hydrocarbon sludge), so di-esters should have better detergent properties that single esters and thus would keep engine cleaner.

      Yes I have bought it from khandelwal bajaj, but it readily avaliable in tripur also, do we have anyone else from our city here? What do you do?

I would recommend you to keep mineral as last option.. maybe the seniors can comment.. Don`t go for Castrol.. I don`t have a pleasant experience with it.. You can stick to DTSi for now.. and switch to Motul Semi Synthetic Later.. don`t go for any grade below 20w50..!!
        stick to dtsi-upto say 1.5k km.
        one can try any oil of grade xxw50.

        is Castrol good??? Please help! At 310 on odo now and the engine is feeling rough!
        castrol is good if you can avoid fake product.
        afaik motul doesn't have any product like 3100 20w50.

        If you can't find it anywhere else, RE svc would surely have it. They recommend Motul oils.
        3000 series have 10w30 and 20w40 grade,don't even think of using them in ns.

        Mineral oil is coarser than the SS oils, and thus it helps in proper setting of the engine during the run-in. Mineral oil upto 1st 1-1.5k kms is good for the engine. Having said that running the bike with SS oil in it's initial kms won't do any harm. However one should not use FS oil during this period.

        I agree with what @nilesh suggested, but I have a one little doubt.
        I know warranty doesn't get void on switching to any brand other than the recommended brand of oil by the manufacture provided its the same grade (xWyy). So will changing the x part make the warranty void??
        stick to mineral for initial 1 k km for better run-in.
        changing xx grade wuldn't void warranty.
        Originally posted by govind.one View Post

        xxwyy.
        you can change xx grade but don't change yy grade,it will harm your engine by overheating.

I have read in other forums that it holds well for about 7500kms and one guy even drained it after 9800kms and said it still had life in it...
        drain interval of fs oil usually 5000-6000 km.but i recommend change engine oil in every 4-5 months, even if you fail to clock 5000 km in those 4 months.

        Nevertheless, for fully synthetic oil, one can go for Motul 7100 as well. Almost as good as the 300V at a much lower cost.
        well 300 v is based on double ester tech,7100 is based on ester tech,300 v is way better than 7100,you can feel it while riding.
        and the question remains why do i race?
        every finishing line is the begining of a new race.

          The motul 3000 4t 15w50 bottle says its JASO MA2/API SL certified. And is recommended to be used in twin spark engines of RE and Bajaj. Clearly the product is targeted to these two companies' bikes specifically (Its manufactured in India only).

                MRP was 295. He sold it @290. The bottle has 10 rs payback coupon in it. So effectively its Rs 280/liter.

                Well at 1st i went to other dealer of motul (found out dealers of motul from one of the posts from xBHP only), and he had no idea about any such product, in fact he had only 4 types of oils all in all. I see a lot of confusion regarding this engine oil thing. Even motul site is of no help.

                  Due to the rains daily i haven't cleaned up my bike since i bought. the areas under the engine, the mud guards, rear brake assembly, chain cover etc. are all messy. So was thinking of cleaning it on this sunday.

                  Also wanted to ask if cleaning the bike with water daily does any harm for eg. rusting etc.

                      xxwyy.
                      you can change xx grade but don't change yy grade,it will harm your engine by overheating.

                      drain interval of fs oil usually 5000-6000 km.but i recommend change engine oil in every 4-5 months, even if you fail to clock 5000 km in those 4 months.

                      Motul very well has 3100Gold XXW50 oil. It's semi synthetic and quiet good for its price.



                      300V is no doubt is best available oil, but is meant for track use, and is supposedly formulated for lesser Kms but extreme performance. On the other hand 7100FS runs longer than the 300V with almost same performance for street bikes.

                            See, motul site is useless. They have atleast 3-4 times more products than mentioned on that site. I was told by someone to visit RE svc to get 3000 series oil or xxW50 grade if not available with anyone else. They sure have it. As stock RE bikes generally have 3000/3100 oil in them.

                            Will put snap of bottle in the evening. Bottle is at home.

                            See this post. There is mention of 3000 20w50 in it. This is just an example, there are many pages on xbhp with mentioned to 3000 15w50/20w50. Google for it.
