    I will try to change the oil to 300v because that's the only fully synthetic oil available in 15w50 configuration.

    Dont want to go for semi synthetic and motul 7100 with 15w50 is not available in my city.

Experiment with different oil and choose which suits your engine the most. I think , motul 3000 is made in india. Use imported motul oil like 5100,7100 300v, 300v² etc, they're excellent!

    Btw. What do you think about running on a mineral oil for 10000kms. Just want to know your views.
