    Not yet... Liqui moly is costly. But hope it works well. I'm not really worried about cost as i need to drive 70km per day and want the best for my bike. I'm going to try motul 300v 10w40. Bought one bottle thought that it will be enough. But it needs 1.2L. i need to buy another bottle. Got lot of positive feedback on this oil (even from svc . They said 10w40 is the alternate if I'm not happy with the OEM oil)

      300V is a racing oil. Its not made for everyday use. You are better off with 7100 instead.

        I used both. 300v 5w30 in my opinion that’s the better than 300v 10w40. 5w30 helps to extract a little more power especially in top end. In 5w30 I can see 140kmph very often when compared to 10w40, I could never reached. But remember 300v is racing focused oil so it won’t last more than 3000kms.
        If you’re going with 10w40 better go for Morul 7100 10w40. It’s fully synthetic and cost ₹350 less.

            I was looking for 5w30 only. But i am not able to get it anywhere my place or online. So i had to switch to next grade. I was using motul 7100 10w50 on my old pulsar. Did not see much improvement in that bike. Thats why i'm not looking into that option.

                      Thanks. I see the major issue here is availability of 10w30 grade engine oil. Most of sellers don't have that grade and in online also i don't see those. So options are, stick to OEM oil or switch to 10w40 grade.

                          Buddy I would really advice you to read up the details before claiming something.

                          The oil in the picture is a Semi Synthetic.

                          This is what a Fully Synthetic Liqui moly 10w40 motorcycle engine oil looks like: https://products.liqui-moly.com/oils...reet-race.html

                              Ya that’s a new entry in market I think. It’s the official engine oil for bmw motorad.
