Engine Oils

[Abhijeet Bhattacharjee]

1) Want to know info about other engine oil like servo 4t , Valvoline ,Shell Advance AX 5 and AX7 ??

2) can we change engine oil brand in every service or within 2000 KM ??

1. Shell Advance AX5 & AX7 would feel very good initially but that fades away at around 1200kms. Haven't used Servo 4T & Valvoline.
2. Yes, you can

run a mineral for atleast 2000 kms or else go for a fs motul 300v and keep for 5000 kms.
If you are changing oil every month i.e around 1400 kms on an average.. You are consuming 3.5 l of oil every 5000 kms which is around rs. 875 bucks for three and a half month. If you buy motul single ester fs oil(7100 grade if i am not wrong) or a shell advance ultra fs oil which comes around 750 bucks.. You have got a good product for your machine.. The extra money can be used for top ups if required.
And you are keeping an fs for just 3.5 months.. Thats a win win situation.

Bottomline- Dont waste oil, your and my next can will come costlier :-)

Its mineral... I remember my oil guy told me so

Ok i hope it last some good number of km .

Is it synthetic or mineral ? Today i got one for 210 rupees but the shopkeeper not sure also i don't found on bottle ....

Synthetic-Blend , written right on the bottle (front label) . As there is no legal definition or regulations here related to commercial usage of such words - it may contain half of synthetic oil in it or maybe half a teaspoon of that . As is with the inscription "blended with the finest scotch" on a bottle . Whatever , mainly mineral with some synthetic in it at least, and a good oil too .

Bought Motul 300V at Rs. 850 and I'm loving it
This oil is that damn good. It can also make a bajaj engine quiet.

Good oil , ... which grade did you get ?

i have used this oil and its slightly better than HH 4t oil.
better to go with gulf full synthetic oil for 300 rs for 900ml

[shoeb2015]

I just happened to check the price of Max 4T Nxt while filling petrol at BP.
It is priced at Rs.295 for 900ml,after discount Rs.290.
Slightly expensive considering that it is a SS oil.
It is API-SL and Jaso MA certified but no particular grade was mentioned on the bottle.

can anyone explain the function of mobil filter?

can anyone explain the function of mobil filter?

i think you mean engine oil filter.. Which some local mechanics call mobil oil filter. Actually some oil filters are made by mobil also.

Its a device which filters your engine's oil by entrapping gunk, varnish, sludge, metal particles which are floating in the oil.. It should be changed, cleaned as per manual recommendation. Paper type filters as in fz needs replacement, mesh type filters as in splendor needs cleaning.

while replacing,is there any need to drain the oil?

Typically you replace the oil filter at every other engine oil change (though it is recommended for 10K kms on an fz after the first 1K replacement).

You need to drain the oil to replace a splendors filter, but you dont need to drain the oil while replacing an fz's filter.. its mounted above the engine oil level and opens with separate screws which are no way connected to the engine compartment.
