    Will be buying the oil now along with an oil tray and funnel. One little query. The manual says 900ml to be filled when draining out oil, but I wonder why some of you buy 1ltr?
    I bought Gulf pride 4T plus 20w40 and I think it is mineral....900ml pack and it costs 200/-....I don't think SS will be available at that price.

      I am not sure about where I could find the Gulf 4T Plus but have seen lot of places stocking the Motul oil.

      Before I head out to get the required stuff I have one last question. The oil drain bolt can be opened with one of the spanners that comes in the toolkit or will I have to buy one?

            The nut head size is 17 and open end spanner is available in the tool kit..a Box spanner will be better since the nut is aluminum,and may slip if it had been over tightened earlier.

                    Thanks for all the concern. Somehow lost interest in China products after seeing couple of them. Yes, it is expensive, all those vanished when I switched on in the evening.

                      I think even that's costly - I got mine at 80/- a pair and they are bright enough , but it is a single high power led . I had posted pictures of it earlier .

                        Will these 9SMD LED will be brighter as Philips 4000k?

                          It is not exactly the brightness was all about, but the color temperature.
                          Earlier was running on 5 SMD bought from US. While doing the change compared with this Philips and old ones looked bluish and was not that appealing apart from 5 directional bright spot. This Philips glows white (Period).

                          To answer your question, need to have 9 SMD in my hand to compare with. Oh! I'm not going to do that. Enough, have spent some blood on these tiny tiny wedge ones.

                          Next change is Headlight from present to something which offers 4000k color temperature. Search continues......

                            Just checked the same and yeah the open end spanner fits. Hope the nut is not very tight and I dont end up messing it up

                            Bought Motul 3000 4T Plus 20W40. Got the 1Ltr pack, donno why Also got a funnel and a tray for oil drain.
                            Shall change the oil in the morning. Pass through a lot of mechanics on the back and did think of getting it done from them but then it would be first DIY for me so dint

                                Aneesh stop being greedy..Philips are the forerunners in lighting technology and others follow....459/- can never equal 30 pounds value...what I had shown is a poor man's philips equivalent, for price comparison only...
