      TVS-Girling DOT4 is also pretty good, been using it since my bike was a month old, i.e. 7 years now (no not the same old fluid )

        Re: TVS Apache RTR 180

        Guys !!! Help !!!
        My rtr is due for its next oil change in a week or so & I am now stuck in a peculiar situation.
        I am currently using shell ax7 since july which has done 1800kms. I am not able to source it again online & we do not get this oil here in bhubaneswar.
        So only option is to switch to motul 5100.
        Now 5100 is available in 2 grades
        1. 10w30
        2. 15w50.
        Now as you see I have done close to 1800kms in 4 months which definitly & irrevocably means I am a city rider. The max I do in a day is 10km.
        So the obvious choice should be 10w30.
        Now here starts the trouble.

        Actually next month I will going on a long ride (with pillion ). Close to 430km. Its a 1 day trip.
        Now if I use the 10w30 will it be capable enough to manage the highway runs with a pillion & that too for the whole of the trip ??
        which should I choose ??
        An insight will be greatly appreciated.
        Thanx

          Having used MOTUL 5100 15W50 i must say the oil takes atleast 3-5 minutes to warm up. That is the only problem with this oil that i expreienced. Otherwise the oil is good, smooth gearshifts, lesser vibes etc. But during winter, i'd go with 10w30 itself. As you are saying you need to go on a long ride, i think w50 oil would provide more protection buddy! Just keep an eye on oil level during the trip. In my case it had reached the min mark after a few trips

                  Oh yes bro. I was waiting for an update from you. Thanx for that.
                  This will be my only trip. I intend to use the bike only within the city after the trip. I shall keep an eye on the oil level. The oil level with tvs & shell hardly went down. How many kms did you do untill the oil reached the min mark ?? Do you do frequent long distance riding ??

                      Yes. Its available here but I am a bit apprehensive about it being a 20w40 grade. I wanted xW to be close to 10 & apart from shell only motul comes close.

                          The oil level started decreasing after about 1400 kms buddy. But can't be sure that oil is the culprit because i had to change bore-piston later as the bore had started to consume oil. So basically its a good oil. I would suggest it for your ride but during city rides it takes a while to warm up and bike doesn't start easily and requires a few cranks. I go on rides but when my bike was running on this oil i rode about 80% in the city and went for rides within 250kms max.

                            I will keep you guys informed about my final selection. It will be either 5100 (10w30 or 15w50). I have ridden the rtr with motul 3000. The refinement is ordinary, i.e like tvs oil.

                              No yar I am not talking about motul 3000 20w40 which is a mineral oil .I am referring bout motul 3100 which is a semi synthetic techno synthesis without ester base,costs about 390 and comes in 20w50 and 10w40 grade.

                                Sorry bro I misread your post. I never knew that the 3100 is available in 10w40 grade. I thought only 10w30 is available.
