Yes. Offline it costs about Rs 295 and there's a Rs 20 off when you scratch the card on the cap. At Rs 275, it doesn't sound too costly for a SS oil.

Re: Engine Oils

I've been getting some recommendations to use a GS Caltex Semi-Synthetic 10w30. Tempted to try it because of the good reviews.

Re: Engine Oils

Hey guys. I bought a 2015 Splendor Pro in Summer and have covered 9k on the ODO. I've used 20w40 Castrol Activ till date and now in winter, the temperature is usually within 20C. I've been having a lot of cold start issues and the Hero manual recommends using 10w30. Should I switch to it for the winters?

Re: Engine Oils

Hello guys, first service of my Honda Hornet 160R is due in next 250km.

I wanted to know, when to shift to semi-synthetic/FS oil?

What oil brand would be best for my bike?

Recommended grade is 10w30, but temperature in my place varies from 6°C - 45°C, what grade of oil should I use when I shift from mineral oil to SS/FS oil.

At what interval should mineral oil, SS, FS oil be changed.

Thank you.

stay with mineral oil for 1st 8000-10000km
afterwords your bike will feel much smooth. since most seating occures during this km s

Run on mineral oil for ideally 5k atleast. Some would say lesser or more. No options in 10w30 FS right now. Honda/TVS have their own FS oil in that grade. Try them after 7-8k ideally. If 10w30 is recommended, it's perfectly OK to go to 10w40. Earlier Hondas used to run on 20w40, so I have used 20w50 FS too without problems. Wouldn't recommend for new gen engines. Bikes have their own characteristics with regards to brand. Experiment different brands but stick to the grade after 7-8k. For some Honda oil works best, for some motul and for some shell and for same others. Ideally change mineral oil between 2k to 2.5k kms. FS can be stretched a bit more to 3 to 4k. It depends on multiple factors, air quality, fuel quality, riding style, road condition, traffic, etc. When you feel gearbox is not clicking easily or it's slipping or engine feels rough it's time to change. But the 2k to 2.5k is a general indication and its better to change whether you feel any roughness or not.

Re: Engine Oils

Hey that says the oil classification is API SH. Internet search says that it's for really old engines. What is the required engine oil API rating of your R15S?
