      Gulf 20W40 works very well in Uni. Go ahead and just try it out.

      It has a long drain period too. Should be easily good for 4 - 5 k km of average kinda driving.

                I would say don't mess around with the recommended grades, go for xW40 grade oil only.

                • Yamalube semi-synth 15w50 works for the R15, which also has a factory recommended grade of 20w40. Please check if it the same can be used for the FZ before filling.

                    • Good you liked it. It can't be that difficult to source in Bombay! Find out the distributors there. If you buy more bottles or some other products, they may even home deliver. Else pay outright for home delivery. Or ask which shops stock Gulf. See what works...

                      • Hey guys,

                        Bought Agip 5w40 Fully Synth oil for my Activa couple of days back. That's gonna be my next change in sometime.

                        Cost: Rs 600/- Orion Motors,Opp.Forum,Koramangala

                        Presently running on Motul 300v 5w40. Great oil must say. Just wanted to try Agip also as both of them fall in the same price bracket.
