keep learning on unicorn...

i suggest you to change tyres asap, specially the rear, wont lead to warranty void.. u can get your bike washed when it gets dirty or clean it yourself with wash and wax shampoo.... then you can polish your bike as well...

In Delhi you get the same in Karol Bagh...shop names are Dhamija Auto and Deepak Automobiles near Hotel Sunstar...

Review of Honda 10w30 Fully Synthetic Engine Oil

@ ALL :- Thanks for wishes.

Review of Honda 10w30 Fully Synthetic Engine Oil.

As soon as i came to known that Honda has came up with 10w30 FS oil for its CBR 250, i have start searching for the engine oil in mumbai, called 1-2 big dealers in Mumbai but they dont have it with them, then went to one of the dealer in Nashik and fortunately i got the 10w30 FS oil from one of the Honda dealers in Nashik, on the same day changed the engine oil and till date travelled approx 1500 kms. So what i observed after 1500 kms ride is as follows:

1). Available for Rs. 504 per litre (far low as compare to other FS oil in market)
2). As of the same grade of ZMR 10w30.
3). Engine Noise has drastically changed, now feeling it more smoother and refine even after a long rides, which i was missing previously very badly.
4). Gear shifting is not that smooth but well better then stock oil. enjoying finding the neutral gear in one shot at signal else i have to do lot of to and fro to get it.
5). Drain period not known but as i do lot of highway riding so will expecting it to last for 4k kms.

So if i want to rate it out of 5 i will give it 4 for sure.

Cool!

I too had buy two cans....but not yet used it...will do after some problem fixed in my ZMR...

Drain period; when i asked about the same on purchase (Honda service station)..they say last approx. 4000 KM...

And yes it cheaper then any other FS oil and important thing is its of same grade of ZMR...

What a good news this is... Happy to hear...
And ya congo for ur 20k kms ride... Hope you cross many more milestones on your red darling...

Thanks bro, and have plan to come down to Indore in last week of Oct or first week of Nov, the plan is tentative.. den hope to meet you there, if time permits will ride till bhopal

That will be so awesome bro... Please inform when you come... If I'll get time, I'll come to indore to see you...

nicely written dhiraj,,, way to go

In last few messages of your's regarding to Honda oil; i have heard that FS oil observe a engine heat. Is is correct; is there any difference in engine heat you have feel between normal and FS oil...

No i Have not felt any engine heat while touring.

It would be the opposite .. i.e a fully synthetic oil by virtue of it's wonderful slickness (reduced friction) and better flow (improvement in oil circulation) reduce the heat (temperature) of the running engine .This benefit would be more apparent when the bike is stressed to it's limits for long periods than in normal riding .

Ok, FS oil seems to be better, i was really confuse as someone told me that it will produce more heat...
