Re: Pulsar 135ls

Hi just want to know which oil is good for pulsar 135 currently I'm using motul 5100 semi synthetic 15w20, is castrol power 1 good or castrol power 1 racing or any other oil. Pls suggest as my service is due. Thanks

Stay on Motul 5100, a fresh new oil is better than old synthetic. And since 5100 is cheaper, you replace it faster too. Use for 2700-3200kms at max.

Re: Engine Oils

I read lot of posts here on Engine oils. I have Bajaj CT100B which requires 10w30 and I have crossed 10,000 km in a year. I got 3 points:

Shell Advance Ultra vs Shell Advance AX7

1. 10W40 will be better than recommended 10W30.
2. Fully-Synthetic oil is almost 3 more more expensive than Synthetic (I hope they meant Semi-Synthetic by that). Since I am going to change oil every 2.5K, is it justified to go Fully-Synthetic ?
3. Using different brand engine oil voids your warranty. My point is, engine oil turns black around 3K. How do they know it was Bajaj or Castrol or Shell ?

1. Yes, 10w-40 is better for our conditions than 10w-30. Sometimes, temperature chart alone need not be used, an engine with very tight tolerances can do with a lighter 10w-30, but often a manufacturer will also consider mileage and emissions when selecting a particular grade.

2. No. Waste of money. AX-7 will be the best for 3000 km drain interval or AX5 for 2-2.5 interval but AX5 is 20w-40.

3. They won't know even if your clutch slips but will do when your tongue slips .

Re: About engine oil

Which engine oil is suitable for my Bajaj v15 150cc dtsi engine
I often use my bike for long drives

Motul 7100 ... If you can spend more then motul 300v is the best...
Look for oil grade according to manufacturer recommendation...
Or look in your owners manual...

Re: Engine Oils

Give a try to castrol power1 15w40...very smooth engine oil

First go for 5100 motul for nearly about 2000 to 3000 km and then switch to motul 7100. It will be best.

Go for motul 7100 its the best in the market. You will find butter smooth performance in this oil and after 2000km this oil will become more smooth. Currently i am using this for my pulsar and pickup is great. If u do not go to high rev or cross 9000 rpm you can go for 5100 it is also best. I have used both. 7100 is good for me because i go to more agressive riding.

Re: Engine Oils

Thanks ! Was just trying to assure myself since I have done this couple of times. Also, was worried since 5100 is single ester.
Will pave way for smooth transition to Motul 7100.
Anyone has an idea if Motul 7100 10w50 will cause any issues like leakage on Pulsar 150 ug4.5 ? Please shed some knowledge on this, else I shall be opting for 20w50 in Motul 7100 next.

Re: Engine Oils

I am using motul 7100 10w40 fully synthetic engine oil on my fzs v2.
If I want to switch back to the company recommended mineral oil which is 10w40 optima yamahalube , can I simply drain the old synthetic oil and pour the mineral oil?
Is it safe to switch from synthetic to mineral oil? I am really confused as I found mixed variety of opinion all around the internet.
The reason I want to change is because I find motul 7100 really expensive for me as I mostly do city commute and use my bike very little so can anyone suggest any 10w40 grade engine oil within the range of Rs 300-400 which is best suited for fzs v2.
I also found the yamahalube full synthetic 10w40 sporty premium costs around Rs 400 has anyone used it on their fzs? If yes then how is the performance?

Re: Suitable engine oil for high cc bikes in general and HD Street in particular

Hi friends,

I wanted to enquire if we can use the Motul 5100/7100 in the Harley Davidson Street 750 (with the specified ratings)? A friend asked this to me and this got me thinking: What engine oil do superbikes use? Can the generic Motul oil like 5100/7100/300V be used there as long as they match the recommended specifications? Or are there some special oils to take care of the higher displacement engines in these bikes?

Thanks,
Rachit

300v is an engine oil specifically for superbikes. A recommended grade from a decent manufacturer, preferably synthetic is great.
