Engine Oils

Re: Engine Oils

I using Motul 5100 for the first time after using yamalube (which I used to change at a interval of around 2200 kms)on my FZ. It clocked around 2200 kms on trip so my question is How may km's is the average life of the oil ?
As of now the oil had turned a bit dark but the engine is quite smooth though the sound had increased which is hardly noticable.

Some people here recommend changing it at 3k and some change it at 4k, its safe to continue riding on the same oil but if you notice harshness before 3k then change it.

As I've stated in my another thread. 2.5k for a mineral and 1k to 2k more for SS and FS

I have a humble suggestion to offer here. You should always search a little on the thread before putting up a query. Anyways, as B7ACKTHORN sir has recently re-stated ............ and so I'm quoting his post here for you to read. FYI Motul 5100 is a SS oil.

No matter how humble the posting is, it ain't going to happen I guess Maybe the most frequently asked questions could be displayed on the top of the site all the time if that is possible.

This one question has been bludgeoned to death a number of times, in this thread especially, the 5100

But to your question, an *ideal* change scenario considering a lot of factors on how one rides, how frequently one rides and the very condition of the engine of the bike. That being said, for 5100 I'd say 3k max. Personally I've changed it close to 4k~ but that's me. An ideal figure should be 3k for 5100. Trust me, my Victor fell in love with Yamalube, just super smooth.

They sure have something in it, but what is the application? As most of our Pulsar's, Karizma's & R15's are not able to use the fuel at its full efficiency. So expense on the premium petrol in these bikes is not recommended.

Re: Engine Oils

I suppose the only way to assess if a particular grade or type of oil (brands apart) would be good after any xxxx number of kilometer usage, it to test for all parameters of performance in a lab. A mere sight, viscosity, gear smoothness would not suffice. I remember having read some of the Hindustan motors SVC have a kit to check this.

Using these additives once in 5k km will keep the carb/injector clean and also help clean debris from engine.. So am filling 2 tank full of premium every 5000km just to keep my engine healthy But i want to know whether shell super unleaded has these additives

I don't think fuel would have cleaning additives, shell fuel is clean already and it sure does have performance additives .

Re: Engine Oils

Guys can anyone advice on 20W40 grade oil for my GS150r, my bike was previously running on Gulf Pride. Gulf is good, but wanted to shift to Full Synth, since bike has completed 63K kms.

Yes, System-G, STP injector cleaners, etc etc, especially the fuel additives, they don't give me much unless your bike has a high compression ratio like super sport bikes, where there is a negligible difference using additives. For our bikes, additives in fuel doesn't matter. All one needs to worry about is the quality of the fuel being used. As most fuel injected bikes don't go well with a bad fuel, so that's should be a prime factor in deciding the fuel station etc. But all in, personally I have *felt* nothing with the quality of fuel being used and additives etc. It's purely psycological, personally.

You can use 10w40 Semi Synth 5100 or 10w40 Motul or you can try using Shell Advance Ultra FS 10w40 Motorcycle oil. All are good oils.

U can try Motul 300v or 7100 which are FS or Motul 5100 which is SS and use 10w40 grade only
