    Motul 3000 15w50 (a mineral oil)
    Top Up interval : 5,000 Kms.
    Change Interval: 10,000 Kms
    Oil Capacity: 1.7 Litres

    Is it good to stretch upto 10k kms on a mineral oil?

    How can I differentiate between a fake and genuine Motul 300V engine oil?

    I am from Bhubaneswar and I bought a Motul 300V for Rs. 950 while mrp was 1035.

    Nice to know.

    My RR 310 is a TVS Apache RR 310 and in my city I guess they are not so well educated.

    They used to search around the workshop and bring a used bottle to show me.

    And to my surprise here in my city, even guys who work on my apache RR 310 doesn't know whether the oil is a mineral or semi synthetic oil.

    Completely depends on you.

    Though as I previously owned a gixxer sf, I will recommend to run the bike on mineral oil (from suzuki) for next 3k-5k kms.

    After that try out the Motul 7100 10w40. Its probably the best oil I have ever used in my Gixxer SF. You can also shift to any other fully synthetic oil.

    It will smooth out your engine and will last longer.

    Which oil is suitable for avenger 180 after 1st servicing ?
    Using Motul 7100 since a whole 40k kms, nothing as good as that. 10w50 grade.

    The engine is rough in itself and the oil change won't make it smoother, but it would definitely dampen some vibrations.

    Use motul 5100, 20w 50 oil, best for bajaj engines.
