Engine oil change

Hi,

Can you pl. send me the pics of from which bolt i can remove the engine oil for my pulsar 150cc dtsi 2008 model

Hey all, this time I used Shell Advance Ultra 10W40 FS, in my honda unicorn dazzler & to my horror the oil level has come near the 'low' mark in just 2k kms How is this possible? I was expecting this fully synthetic oil to last for @5K kms! Now what should I do? Which oil I should go for? . I do a lot of high speed touring! Also I dont have the budget above Rs350/- from now! Yes, now I cant again risk Rs700 or so for just 2000 odd kms

1...> I will strongly suggest get Compression Pressure chked from SVC ( just in case piston rings are worn out ) and also see if any smoke is visible from Exhaust .

2... > i) Petronas sprinta 5000 10W30 (F.S) costs somewhere Rs.349-360 . Comes in 900ml Can .
ii) Castrol Power 1 15w40 ( S.S.) costs 300Rs / 1ltr .

1..Ya i got my bike checked from SVC. There is no problem in my bike. SVC ppl told me to change the grade of my engine oil & also advised me to go for slightly thicker oil.
2.. I think, Petronas sprinta 5000 10w30 will be a very thin oil! I need a slightly thicker oil for current hot whether conditions.

20 W 40 Mineral oil and change every 2 to 3 K KMs .
Motul ,Gulf pride 4T plus,Shell ,Castrol all have oils in this range..
CHECK FOR JASO MA2 RATING IN OIL BEFORE POURING IT IN TO THE ENGINE.

Is yamalube15w50 = motul 5100

Hey all, can i use yamalube 15w50 (semi synthetic) in my honda unicorn dazzler? Is motul 5100 15w50 & yamalube 15w50 exactly the same? If yes, then why does motul costs rs450/- & yamalube cost rs415/- per lit. Is there some slight difference amongst them?
Has anyone used this yamalube in a honda or hero honda bike?

normally FS needs 2k topup and add to that shell oils are not true FS ,they are from group 3 oils. SS is best to call it.

ya both are same but why w50 because honda recommended grade is w30 & u already used w40
better to stay at w40 at max. try others like petronas

Ok so i've been going through this forum for quite a while now and have learnt what i basically needed to know..

a few ( ) questions though:

I own a 4000km old p220

1) xxWyy is fine when xx<=20 but is it fine if yy is >=50? Can't get this into my head!!

2) When would it be fine to shift to FS oil?

3) Motul 300V has LOTS of leakage reports here so i ruled it out.. is Motul 5100 fine? its FS too right? please do mention your opinions on the drainage interval.

4) any help on where Motul is available in Pune?

Thanks a lot!!

Guys i need help regarding oil for my Pulsar 220.

It requires 20W50. But guys can anyone compile the names of the engine oil(Mineral or FS or SS) with rating 15W50 and 20W50.

Im using Castrol active Xtra, it sucks guys..not happy with its performance, especially now a days.

Thanks
