      Motul also has the same draining interval and the mrp. of a litre will be somewhere around 800, again it differs mate, i got it for some 696 rupees from a dearest dealer and will not get it anymore for the same price as their prices have been revised!

          My suggestion would be to go for Motul, but again get reviews of Shell from experts and also gain some confidence to stop the oil leak if in case that happens!

              As far as my knowledge only double esther leaks... Semi synth oils do not leak, yet again if ur gaskets are weak it will definitely!!!

                        • ^That is a part of the oil cooler itself and I don't think it can be attached without the oil cooler...

                              • Araldite rocks!!

                                Araldite is a good epoxy adhesive. But stinks badly and is very sticky. Once it came in contact with my shirt. The mark hasnt gone even after washing it a gazillion times and has now become hard and yellowish.
                                But for sealing the gasket anabond is better. Atleast it can be scraped off when we plan to change the gasket or open the engine.
