Go with Valvoline Premium or Motul 5100 in the grade recommended in your manual.

Re: Need help in selecting engine oil grade.

Guys, I have decided to go for Motul full synthetic oil for my yamaha ss125.

So which engine oil would be better for my bike Motul 7100 10W40 or 20W50 or any other grade??( Yamaha recommends 20W40 but the shopkeeper told me that fully synthetic 20W40 is not possible.)

Additional info:
My bike has completed 9k kms and had cold starting problem with yamalube and castrol engine oil(20W40). The throttle remained unresponsive for the first kilometre or so, but now it has reduced a lot after shifting to elf 20W40.

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

Re: Engine Oils

Yes, as long as the grade does not vary too much... Like say, adding 3100 20w50 to a 5100 10w30 is not a wise move. Whereas mixing the same 3100 to 5100 15w50 is OK.

Cheers

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: Fully Synthetic Oil on scooters

You are absolutely right...fully synthetic can be overkill for small scooter engines...just use plain mineral oil and change it every 1.8 to 2k kms...

Thanks bro... Will continue with mineral Oil

Re: Fully Synthetic Oil on scooters

Hi,

I currently own an CBR 250R and TVS scooty zest with ODO of 12k.

One of my friend suggeste to use Fully synthetic oil on scooty zest.
My question here is can Fully synthetic oil be used for Scooty zest?

I feel like it's an overkill to that small engine...

Can anyone please clarify.

Thanks in advance

Tnx
Not available oil viscosity 10W30 in Iran
Use oil viscosity (10W40 API:SL semi synthetic) Hurting?

No problem. You can use 10W40 semi-synthetic oil.

Cheers!

Re: Engine Oils

10w30 is what's recommended. Check your SVC manual. Motul 5100 is available in that grade

Question regarding oil

Hi

Has anyone used Castrol GTX Ultraclean (5W-30) for their 4-stroke motorcycles?
Just wanted to know if the oil is suitable for vehicles or meant only for cars.

Thanks

Re: Engine Oils

can you please tell the drain interval of it?

Drain interval for all oils is the same as given in your bike's owner's manual . You may reduce that interval in kms or duration of use if bike is in service under severe conditions . But never extend the drain interval .
