Re: Engine Oils

It is okay to mix oils during top up, even if they are of different grade. But, mixing oils, right when filling itself doesn't seem like a good idea. Yeah.... It'll work and won't trigger a chain reaction or something but still, it's not a good idea.

If Himalayan needs API SN oil then you can't mix SL oil. If Himalayan needs SL or higher, then one can go ahead and mix. I've done it myself. No big deal.

Should I go ahead and tell him to use motul & gulf together then?

Hi, Is it safe to mix API SL oil with API SN of same Grade?

Re: Engine Oils

This time am posting this on behalf of my friend. He bought 1 bottle of Motul 7100 Fully Synthetic oil from store for his RE Himalayan and as you might know Himalayan needs around 2.5 ish oil. That store didn't had any more stock of Motul 7100 or even 5100 so he purchased a bottle of Gulf Semi Synthetic oil. Now Motul is API SN and Gulf is API SL so he is confused whether to use Gulf with Motul or return the oil.

Re: Engine Oils

I've been suggested by my mechanic to use either Motul engine oil or Divyol for my KTM Duke. Is it good choice to go for any of them... heard of motul prior but Divyol is something new for me. Should I go for Divyol engine oil do suggest me for this...

Re: Engine Oils

Engine oil is very important for the smooth working of engine and its performance totally depends on it. For the best engine oil go for the brands like Castrol, Motul, Divyol, Veedol, Valvoline. Select as per suggested in user manual but do choose the proper one...

Re: Engine Oils

The question is why

All the XXw50 oils have similar viscosity specs. It is okay if you drain one grade of engine oil and fill a different grade or use a different grade oil to topup.

OK thanks ☺

Re: Engine Oils

Is it safe to mix say a 15w50 or 20w50 oil with 10w50?

Re: Engine Oils

Bro just stick with the well known and recommended brands. All these unknown brands sell mineral oil and Mark it as super synthetic or what not. And since you have a decent bike, I'd request you not to fall into the trap by using these kinds of garbage oil.

Don't worry bro, I've NO intention to try this product. It's just that I was looking for something on PayTM and this item popped up. I got curious as the specs seemed decent so I thought why not ask here.
