      300V Motul 300V 4T 15W50.If you really want synthetic oil for your ride try
      300V Motul 300V 4T 15W50 = 890Rs

      Recommended grade oils are:

      Castrol Power 1 Racing 10W40 = 750Rs
      Agip Racing 4T Full Synthetic 5W40 = 620Rs
      Petronas Sprinta 5000 4T 10W40 = 250Rs
      OWS fully synthetic 10W-40 = 590 or 600 Rs
      (But hard to find)

      All are very good oils and have long life too minimum life of 6000km or more.

                  In my opinion if you have so many option in W40 recommended grade.Then why are you thinking of Motul 300V
                  Yes if you ride too much continuously like a tourer with constant speed of 70-80kmph then this oil is good for your bike.It will stick to the engine wall perfectly and second thing all synthetic oil have skinny nature so that is why they more helpful for the engine.
                  and I think 5W40 is perfect oil but it is hard to find in that case you can use Agrip 5W40 oil.

                          Never ever let the SC goons change the oil when you are not present they will use some cow piss oil get it changed infront of you or get it done outside.As far as synthetic oil goes you can go for MOTUL 300V it rocks.

                                Motul 300 V is available for 780/can. A carton would bring down the cost to ~720
