It's all crap told by ASC guys. Lots of other people and for me also, when I asked ASC at my place about FS oil. They happily suggested Honda Throttle to fill after 3 services.
Try some some other ASC or get the oil from ASC shop itself + O ring. Change by yourself or ask at local shop.
Alternatively, Lots of people using other oil than Honda Throttle FS.
Motul 7100 and Mobil1s
I am using Motul 300v, very mush satisfied with performance and smoothness. But recently facing issue of oil leak from O-Ring (drain plug). Possibly because, I didn't changed O-ring at time of oil change.

Hello guys,
What happens to bike if not used frequently?
I use my bike once in a week or fortnight. In last 2 months, it's been used not more than 30 km..

What care should be taken in such cases.. currently it's parked with parking cover in partial shade..

Battery might lose its charge, so once in a while take it out for a 20 minute ride. Dont fill up full tank, as the petrol deteriorates in 2-3 months.

If you have time, lube it every Sunday. Engine should should last 6 months according to Honda, change it accordingly irrespective of kms done.

I am in favor of everybody above who suggested to change it yourself, needless to say that you should go with FS. Just my extra two cents would be: Since you're going to do this yourself, you're gonna wanna buy an oil too. Which means you'll either have to buy the 1L or 4L box.
- With 4L, you can do 3 full fills with close to 400ml to spare (top-ups).
- With 1L, you won't be able to fill it at full capacity. Which means it'll need a replacement sooner (For FS, you should start checking at 7K instead of usual 8K kms)- Eventual replacement might be close to 8-9K kms.

Honda mineral is not at all suited for Indian conditions.

You could go for Elf/Motul 3000/Motul 5100/Gulf pride 4t 10w30, or if you can source veedol super Swift, you can go for it.

If you're fine with a slight drop in mileage (2-3kmpl) you can go for a 10w40 oil.

What is the difference between Honda throttle & 10W40 ..... should i switch to honda throttle or 10w40 ??? Has anyone used shell FS oil?? How is the performance??? Anyone used honda throttle & how is the performance?? I am asking because once u make the switch you can not go back to mineral oil so just want to get the opinions & feedback... TIA

Sorry for being noob here but can you elaborate what is o ring here & where it is located & how it is related to engine oil??

Who told you that? You can switch back to mineral anytime. Just got to have the correct quantity of some good engine oil in the sump.

I personally didn't find any difference between Shell AX7/7100/Advance Ultra.

O-Ring prevents the leakage of oil from the drain bolt by effective sealing. If you open the drain bolt, you'll see a rubber/metal ring on the bolt.
