    You're right. As per the nomenclature, yes AX5 is mineral. But the spec sheet if seen and validated shows that even AX7 is just a highly refined mineral oil and not exactly semi synth. Ax5 and AX7 fare almost the same. While AX5 lasts no longer than 1600-1800 km, AX7 lasts up to 2000-2200 kms in my case.
    Hence I rate them as equals.

    If you use the correct plug in terms of heat range and clearance (0.8 - 0.9 mm), you wouldn't need a 2000 km change interval. PM me your address, I shall courier you a G Power plug and we'll see if that works for you.

    Stock plug is ok but if you still want to upgrade, opt for g power plug from ngk. Model name is DPR8EGP9A.

    Is it not fully synthetic oil starts leaking from the gaskets after a while ? Or is that for the older karizma

    Have you been using shell for long time? I've heard that shell is only for higher rpms and not for city roasds.

    Universal rule:
    Clockwise tightens and anti clockwise loosens.

    That is a myth. Apart from the ECU and fuel pump, you can work on pretty much everything. Even the fuel pump can be worked upon to an extent (with the same set of tools and knowledge).
