    You can shift to SS now. You can try shell advance ax7 10w40, very good engine oil

    For me its never been nor will ever be my DL, For me its always been and will always remain my RL {Riding License}

    I confess that I ♥ :

    for lights to turn green
    *Fielding queries from massed onlookers
    *Pushing dream bikes to their limits
    *Blasting past slowpokes
    *Hoiking the front wheel
    *Scraping a knee around corners

        Shell advance ax7 is far better than tvs oil.

          You can shift over to a S.S like Shell AX-7 it costs rs341 & its available in all shell pumps && you don't need to worry about counter-fits..

            • Hi,

              I am from Bangalore.

              I have a TVS Apache RTR 180 which has done 13k kms till date and is due for its 6th paid service on Aug 24th. Till now I have never used any other engine oil other than the TVS TRue4 as suggested by the SVC (Trijal, Whitefield).

              At this 6th service I m thinking of changing to a better engine oil than TVS True4.

              Please guys suggest the best engine oil which would be best for the bike now as it has completed 13k kms and the cost for the same.

              Thanks in advance

              Regards,
              Sujith

                  Preferably switch to a semi synthetic oil(Castrol power 1) then switch to Full Synthetic Oils(Motul). Shell Synthetic oil is not a true Full Synthetic oil and I have used it for 8k kms. Even though i didnt rip it didnt last long, it lost its charm after 3.5k kms both times.
                  FYI when you use Full synthetic oil reaching that magic no (12k rpm) on tacho becomes difficult.
                  Go back in this thread you will find this topic discussed extensively.

                    • @sujithbvm
                      As you've clocked enough miles, my pick for you would be Motul 3100 Gold 10W40 or Shell Advance AX7 10W40. Both would cost 300-350INR and are semi-synthetic engine oils.
                      The Apache is ever willing to red line each cog, but the Rider ain't. Enjoy RTR, Safely. Period.

                        If you plan to buy any oil (any product) from J.C road you better learn to differentiate original & counter-fits... look out for castrol counter-fits its is the most common..I think you need to get your bike's engine flushed before shifting to F.S for better performance of oil...

                          Specify the model please. Afaik, there ain't an oil from Shell costing the amount you've posted.

                          It's very much OK even if it's not done. And engine flushing has it's own con's as i've read in xBhp itself. Don't remember where though.

                            It's cost was 745 INR when i last purchased it. Ultra is FS oil. No way price would go down by 245 INR
