Re: Help on which 2t oil to buy

Welcome Aanandh, after reading your post I'm trying to understand few things here..

1. You want a good original decent performance oil but not fully synthetic.
2. You want oil which is does not burn your pocket.

Here is my conclusion:-

Shell 2T(normal) - good and decent performance.

Mak2T - affordable and heard it does the job too.


You can get the above oil in respective petrol bunks here in Chennai apart from Oil dealers/distributors.

Re: Help on which 2t oil to buy


thanks brother.
i was thinking of shell only, thought will take suggestions from xbhipians.

how about gulf 2t, yamalube, petronas and motul?
anyone of it in the same price range n better performance.
else i will go with shell itself..!

Re: Help on which 2t oil to buy

been to chennai for a work and as planned got a litre of SHELL VSX 2T for 266.
will be filling in my oil pump once the old goes below minimum mark.
will update my experinece soon.
thank you all..!

Re: Help on which 2t oil to buy

i don't want to open new thread and congest the forum.
saw my bike today morning and found there was oil leakage in exhaust end.
left the bike for 3 days without driving and took today, it was going as usual.
but i feel like oil leak may be a problem.
is there anything wrong with my bike?

it was raining heavily and too much cold here. parked bike in portico and din't got wet even by a drop.
was it because of condensation with carbon deposits?
after wiping it there was nothing dripping again in the exhaust.
and as usual the response was crisp.
but had a cloud of smoke while starting for the first time.

Re: Help on which 2t oil to buy

Oil dripping from exhaust is normal. Some excess gets out of exhaust pipe. At the same time see to it that we feed too much 2T oil into cylinder, else spark plug might foul. No bakwaas only experience.

Re: Help on which 2t oil to buy

Oil leak from the exhaust indicates one of two things. Either 1. your spark is weak and not burning the oil properly or 2. You are using too much oil which is getting expelled through the exhaust.

Using too much oil is harmful as it leans out the mixture. It will also blow your plugs.

Regarding 2t try elf semi-synth 2t. Costs about 280rs/lt and works great. Produces less smoke than mineral 2t as well.

Welcome Aanandh,
I am using YAMAHALUBE for my 91 RX 100 & BP MAX 2T for the 89 RX 100, Both performance is good,YAMAHALUBE is 330Rs per litre MRP I get 15 %discount from a dealear in Thane Maharashtra. Yamahalube is semi-synch oil will result in good performance, Adjust the oil pump stroke,pulley radial travel for correct quantity of oil pumping,
Does your MAX 100R has a ASSLY SWITCH , OIL LEVEL ? ,The electro mechanical device which senses oil level in OIL tank & when level turns low a waning lamp on dash board / speedo meter console lights up,I hav purcase the same & planning to install it in my 89 RX 100 .

Re: Help on which 2t oil to buy

thanks for the input brother. i do not know the technical name. but a red light will glow everytime the oil level goes below minimum in the dash board. i totally have no idea about pulley and all. but accodring to my beloved mechanic it is working well and good. (he is using suzuki max 100r, blue color, 1998 make). i do not feel any lag in performance at all. but comparatively i felt BP Mak 2t gave out less smoke than local made oil(MAGNOL 2T). currently i added SHELL VSX 2T in the oil pump. i can tell the performance after atleas 30-40 kms. will surely try YAMALUBE next time and update the change in performance. but i feel it is priced quiet above MAX 2T as well as SHELL 2T. any ways nothing wrong in giving a try. wil do it soon.

Re: Help on which 2t oil to buy

I use Yamalube, good thing I find is, it smokes very less.
