Is there anybody who have tried Agip synthetic 2t? I cant find Motul here in CBE. But i can find Agip. -
Have done that. They only had the white bottle. No other 2t oil.Originally posted by psycho 98 View Post
Castrol dosen't seem to be bothered about emails. They have never replied to any of mine. No follow up from the call centre too. Very unresponsive company.Originally posted by Bladerunner View Post
Still, no harm at all in using it, if you can afford it. As for the carbon part, that may be true around the head... but what about the port and the exhaust system and all? Carbon there means reduced performance, for sure. Also, I wasn't just reffering to city use... but also highway use. And if you are doing high speed with a pillion in the summer, the engine heat itself can be a big issue.Originally posted by psycho 98 View PostLast edited by Raccoon; 04-07-2009, 03:27 PM.Leave a comment:

Motul 800 is not recommended for city usage dude, untill and unles you have deep pockets, the 800 is quite recmmonded for big bore, ported setup's with chambers were the revving nature of the engine is say 9 to 12k rpm and where the engine is producing more heat than the stock set up. also why would one do deacarb you know what with more carbon you get more compression.Originally posted by Raccoon View PostLeave a comment:

Read my post carefully, I've mentioned its per liter. The Jettx price is correct as per the '07 stock I usually buy. I just recently bought 2 bottles of 500ml for Rs.105 each as he had run out of the 1L bottles. Let me know if you find out the current price.Originally posted by Raccoon View Post
I have emailed Castrol India. Lets see what they have to say about the Jettx stock.Leave a comment:

I wouldn't say its exactly stupid. The Easter thingy will burn very clean compared to minerals. And this will prevent carbon build up. Carbon build up means decarb by savage service centre people by opening up the cylinder and all (unless you gonna do it yourself). If you want to avoid opening it up, it makes a HUGE sense. Only problem is its just too expensive.Originally posted by atul_astro View Post
As far as I remember it was about Rs. 115. Can confirm when I'm home. Mfd date was around mid 2008... so slightly older stock. The dealer said the latest stock is priced a bit higher. Its definitely not discontinued. But its really nothing to rave about. You'd prolly be better off using Shell/Gulf/etc... and they are cheaper!Originally posted by Bladerunner View PostLeave a comment:

How much does Jettx cost in Pune? All the dealers here tell me that its been discontinued and whatever is avalable is '07 manufactured.Originally posted by Raccoon View PostJet X Difficult to find?
Thats the easiest to find oil here! I don't think its a very good oil (considering its premium price)... also it dosen't seem to burn too clean - gives out fair amount of visible smoke.
The best oil should be Motul's fully synth 2T. But its damn costly. Other good option should be Shell 2T - have heard good things about it. Also saw Gulf 2T very recently... might be good, considering their new 4 stroke oil is really good. Not tried it myself though.
Yamalube 2T is made by Exxon Mobil as well. Its what I'm using right now. If look carefully at the pictures you will see it.Originally posted by HydBiker View PostYamalube 2T engine oil is made by Shell. The gear box oil is by Exxon Mobil.
Got Gulf 2T (semi synth) oil pouches for my father's Chetak... he it is better than Castrol he was using
And each pouch was Rs 6 as against 8 or 9 for Castrol.
Some RX100 users have given good feedback on Yamalube and Petronas. Again, as usual, expect the Motul's to be very good

The best oil to use the Motul 800 2T [single ester/double ester]
Yamalube is nothing but Motul Motoman semi synthetic oil
For stock bikes, synthetic oil cant do much except reduce carbon builup..but then again that depends on ur fuel type and state of tune...I personally use MAK 2t on my stock RX [done 26,000 kms in the last year] without any excess wear.
For the drag bike I use only 800 2T..I cant trust any other oil for the kinda revs she's pulling
I personally feel you need synthetic oil only if you're on a high revving chambered setup.. By high reviing I mean 8500 rpm..I knew a guy who'd put 800 2T on his stock 4 speed..It was really stupidLeave a comment:

Shell makes more than one type of 2T oil?? I'v only seen the white bottle... and thats the only 1 mentioned on their website also.
Never seen Elf 2t anywhere... not even heard. Is it easily available in your city?Leave a comment:

What i do basically is mixing 600ml of motul 800 & 400ml of jetex or elf or shell works the best for me and lighter on pocket too, for highway runs and high speed blasts i would recommend this mixture.
For city shell advance (green can not the white) is pretty good and works out thad cheaper too. even elf is ok.Leave a comment:
