    This is the only oil iam using after the yamalube so cant comment on motul and shell oils. But much better than the stock oil.

How many of the people are still using the yamalube in their bikes? My bike has clocked more than 6K Kms. With that stock oil i used to face hard gear shifts rough engine all the time. By one of my friends suggestion i bought CASTROL POWER 1 and i have been using it from since a week i can feel the diference for sure. The gear shifts are much better now and also the engine is revv happy and doesnt scream like when it ran with that stock oil. Even many of my friends and neighbours who owns FZ stopped using the yamalube. Their bikes are very much fine with the odo readings more than 40K

After all engineers at Yamaha or any company would do rigorous testing before making a official recommendation. No one wants a bad name for non reliable or non durable products.

    What is change interval for the fully synthetic oil?
    How about the mileage on motul 7100?
    If not extreme testing of your machine it will easily last 6k+ kms. My bike has been consistently churning out 50+ kmpl. I drive in speeds between 70 to 95 mostly.

    No Recommend Grade For The FZ Is 20W40 But There May Not Be An Issue If You Put 15W50
