You can try Motul 7100, some people have reported this more suitable on their bikes than 300v.

First off, just engine ins't the cause of vibration. Even loosened engine bolts and nitty-gritty can cause vibrations. But of course, the engine itself shouldn't be ruled out. For Apache TVS TRU4 is what's recommended. But you can try Valvoline or Castrol Power1 Racing both are good oils. But if you want something premium, you can try Motul 5100 10w40.

no there is no loosed bolt ... an APACHE with out VIBRATION is IMPOSSIBLE ...I know tvs recommends TRU4 PREMIUM but I dont feel it to be up to mark... I was thinking to try valvoline ... only after that I can say weather it is fulfilling the need or not....


one more thing is it ok if we try different brand oil or we should stick to only 1 engine oil???

300V is mainly for very heavy usage, where high revving and temperature are always constantly on the check. For TVS, they almost as standard recommend W40 suffix for most of their bikes. So it's be wise to stick to the 20W40 for good lubrication.

There is absolutely no problem swapping engine oils, but make sure you use *motorcycle specific*0 engine oil not one recommended for petrol cars, because people easily get confused and those oils are completely different. But long story short, yes you can use different oils.

And for which oil to use, I've mentioned it on your earlier post.

You should spray the Motul Chain clean bottle first and wait for 3-4 mins. Then use an old toothbrush to brush away the previous lubrication/dust/dirt etc lying over the chain and sprocket (both). Brush it with good details. Then apply the Motul Chain Lube only until to make sure that it is all the way spread over. Avoid dripping down situation when applying the Chain lube. Keep an eye in every 10-15 days for normal weather. In case of rainy seasons check everytime before you ride.

And don't worry it won't attract the gravel and dust
