Engine Oils

Re: Engine Oils

No, unless they find out it's not their oil.
Btw,my bike is showing leakage of oil probably. I saw some blackish oil near the rubber gasket as shown in the pic (I cleaned up the oil before the pic was taken, however the leakage is from here.,)
Anyone any clue, why would this happen on a new bike with Motul 5100 SS oil?

Re: Engine oil for a really long trip (Street 220)?

I have the same bike. Wouldn't advise the Bajaj oil at all. Go for the Motul 5100 oil, it's best for DTSi engines.
Also, avoid fully synthetic oil if possible. At least until 10,000km on Odo.

What about warranty ? Will it be void if we change to motul 5100 15w50 ?

Re: Engine oil for a really long trip (Street 220)?

Thanks a lot for the advice.
Wll look up about Motul 5100. BTW 5100 20 W right?

And can you please confirm the service period for the street 220? The manual says 2nd service to be at 4500kms.
The workshop said it to be at around 2500-3000. Who is right?
THanks in advance.

Motul 5100 is usually available in 15w50. Oil drain interval for this one should be max 3000-3500 kms.

For servicing go as per the KMs completed or time frame mentioned in the service book.

Re: Engine Oils

My friend has bought a Bajaj Discover 150 ( 2011 ) last week through olx.in.......can anyone of you tell me which type of oil should we use?. Mineral or Semi-Synthetic?. Any recommendation would be very helpful....

plz tell why ur advising to avoid shell....

Because shell ax7 and ultra have lesser draining period when compared to other brands even though they are semi and fully synthetic.for eg shell ax7 will have a good initial impression.but after 2k kms engine will get rough

Re: Engine oil for a really long trip (Street 220)?

Hello Motorheads,
I have bought a Bajaj Street 220 on 13 Dec 2016, been riding it for a while and have clocked around 750 kms. First service done and replaced yhe engine oil with Bajaj Engine Oil (pic attached).
The gears seem a bit clunky now.
I am still riding under 60 kms. Now, the problem is that I have a trip planned on 1st Feb 2017. It will be of around 1500 kms one side.
I dont think that this engine oil will cut it. Which one should I go for?

Thanks in advance...

Semi Synthetic is best for low displacement bikes.
Fully Synthetic is mostly for high displacement bikes, like 300/500cc engines, and above.

Fully synthetic oils like motul 7100 10w40 will be good for your bike..it will make less and tear in engine..you will experience a smooth engine and hasslefree gear shifting. Try it.. Don't use shell.. you can also try castrol power1.it will reduce the temperature than any other oil

Re: Engine Oils

I purchased Bizol moto from paytm(25% cashback), filled it in my Gixxer this morning.
one thing I noticed is unlike other oils this feels very sticky/slimy to touch. As usual the engine feels very smooth and rev happy(since it is synthetic). I am satisfied for now, and only time/kms will tell how good this oil is.

There so many good brands available in india..some are imported too like motul,mobil.etc..then why do experiment with your bike.. nothing is better than motul and castrol in terms of motorcycle specific engine oil.

Thanks bros. Have been using Motul 7100 in my 200 NS for years. The engine is harsh. So I thought I will use something else.
Bizol seems to be overpriced. Another one I had in mind was Elf Moto 4Tech.

Re: Engine Oils

Has anyone used Bizol engine oil in their bike? Its claimed to be imported from Germany. In India, its marketed by Bizol Grenvo. Bizol is listed in Amazon.in as well. There is not much of a review any where.
