Engine Oils

[nsengg]

you mean shell ax7? One of my friend is using it on his unicorn & he says that the gear shifts are better on the butter smooth engine. He was previously using honda semi synthetic oil. O.T: Guys if this kitchen cleaning chemicals are good for cleaning the engine from outside then 'Harpic' should be the best to flush the engine :-D

I was of the impression that Honda markets mineral oil sold in grey plqastic bottles and synthetic oil sold in black plastic bottles, never heard of a semi synthetic oil they market, please elaborate. Your last line has put a lot of issues to rest.

Vibrations are part of any bike, you can't eradicate them altogether, an oil alone can't reduce vibrations per se. But TVS recommends either 10w30 or 10w40, you can get any grades of oil in these. I'd suggest you go for Mobil, Valvoline if you can source them or try Shell AX3.

I personally used Yamalube 15w50 for my 125cc Victor for close to two years, and the performance was nothing less than bliss. Gear shifts were butter smooth, engine smootheness significantly increased, and sort of a turbo whine started coming from my engine after using it, and it is nothing sort of a music to ears. After 5 years of going strong, opened her engine just two months back, just for the sake of a engine overhaul.

By far the best oil I've used after Valvoline. Couldn't source Valvoline these days.

Cheers!

Motul 3100

Hi Riders,Recently I went to a local Engine oil shop here at Siliguri to buy Motul 5100 15W50 semi synthetic oil for my pulsar 150.since the stocks had finished, the shopkeeper suggested me to buy Motul 3100 gold 20W50 instead. I saw the pack carefully & found that even this was also of technosynthesis grade & bought it. before this I never used Motul 3100 gold 20W50. so I surfed the official site of Motul to know about the product more.I was shocked to find that this particular product was not in their site even.Now I doubt that whether I bought a fake product or not.pls shed some light. Had anyone heard or used Motul 3100 gold 20W50 before?

Ya its FS oil working like a charm ... So so smooth ... Vibe reduce ... Gear box butter smooth... Engine heat reduce ... Throttle response so sharp ... Pick up increase...
I can really feel the difference
Cost me around
900RS
750for 1 ltr and rest 150 for 200ml (lose)
Because Pulsar200ns drink 1.2 ltr oil :-)

Yes, I'm awar eof the 1.2l part, but wow, i'm really surprised to hear a good review of castrol oil, had been using castrol activ 4t mineral for quite some time and had not so good review about it. So was skeptical about this. Anyways it's great to know it works fine on the NS. And i'm also surprised that they provide oil in such small quantity too. I usually buy 2 bottles of oil, and keep the rest for top up or next oil fills.

Surprised. The same stuff that comes in metal canister now in a plastic can, and at that same premium price. I've read some good reviews about Power1 too I can trust on your bike for your next oil update, Krish. You swapping to Castrol?

Wow, now that's some news! That's a new for me. I've always viewed Castrol as more or less Crapstrol!

Haha, no buddy, motul it is , need to try and source Shell, Aargee advised that's it better and more cost efficient than motul , but i'm done with catrol, i found a motul dealer very close to my place, so i'm saved from having to use crapstrol activ mineral again. But it's nice to hear that the oil is serving good , the FS one ofcourse, but would love to hear the same after some 3-4k kms riding done with this oil, want to know how good it holds.
Because, the bajaj oil too is good enough for the first 1k kms, then it just starts going downhill..!!
