        I had written to castrol and they replied that production of power 1 10w40 has stopped.

        Plus I saw an ad which mentioned about Power 1 10w30. Seems like Castrol produces both though (Castrol Power 1 Racing 4T : Castrol Moto)

            NO , bro you are mistaken.
            Engine oils from Castrol tend to change grades.

              Are Michellin tyres better than MRF? And do they come in 110/80 - 17 size? A tyre vendor suggested that Dunlop is better than MRF. What do you suggest?
              AFAIK MRF is the better one. Dunlop Geo Cruiser - 100/90-18 Tube tyre costs around 1500rs. Dont know the price for 17inch specifications. MRF ZAPPER Q - 100/90-18 costs around 1800Rs. Michelin cost around 2000rs and also it has good feedback.

                Thanks dude..I'm looking for the same. I heard castrol is coming with 20w40. Anyway will check out for 15w40. If I get that it would be great for my bike.

                  castrol power1 is the worst oil i have ever used. gulf pride 4t plus 20w40 mineral is much much better. cp1 15w40 got spoiled in ust 300kms in my bike.

                      Many are already getting confused dont add fuel to fire just kiddin , my opinion is that you can blindly opt for castrol power 1 if you are switching from tvs mineral and you know very less about oils. After doing research on it and based on availability switch to better ones like motul shell etc etc.Castrol power 1 is not as bad as you tell This will make it clear.

                      TVS oil < Castrol Power1 < Motul etc etc

                            I doubt to see a victim of huge stock of duplicates flooding the market. Thats why I don't recommend/want to use Castrol. No words against the oil's potential, but more than 70% duplicates are sold on the name of castrol in today's market as this is the most famous brand among people.

                            P.S. "People" here includes everyone. Even the commuter (non-ethusiast) section.

                            P.P.S. Meverik, no offences against you if by any chance you feel so Anyone can be the victim of duplicate products. Nothing to be shamed/embarrassed of.

                              TVS oil doesn't fall in any category.

                              • Guys, no use of choke is needed actually for our beast. Bike comes to life with just one kick only. ODO : 453.2KM. Service due after my exam on 5/6/11.
                                Really satisfied with the performance.
                                Who says Fazer doesn't have Vibes? Fazer starts vibing at 55-56kmph and doesn't end. I have taken new RTR HE to ~104Kmph never felt vibes like fazer. may be that fazer ( ODO 2804km) was badly used. But there is vibes.
