Hi, Total Quartz 9000 5w40 for ZMA, the MRP is around Rs4000 may be I will get on Rs3000. Should I go for.

Dont even try it for a minute!! This oil cant be used in bike engines. I hope your query has been responded many times. It is time you should act on it.

SS oil - AX7
FS oil - 7100 or 300V or Shell Ultra

Diesel oil - Rimula R3X, R4, Mobil Delvac 1300 or 1400.

All xxW40 grades.

Because Arjun555 used it and his bike got very rough. http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/motorcyc...fz-s-1346.html

XXw40 means any grade of the above oils, like some oils are 10w40 some 15w40 and some 20w40

Which of Castrol's india motorcycle oils has passed and carry the JASO certificate ? I don't recall seeing any on them either . Can anyone please post pics if found ?

Anyone using MOTUL 5100 15W-50 SS oil? I'm thinking of switching to it from MOTUL 7100 FS, so I shall greatly appreciate your views and experience with 5100, if any.

Have used 3000, 3100, 5100, 7100 and currently on 300V. Nothing to go hoopla over all these oils, but trust me the 5100 is by far the best oils I've come across. 300v just months old, and already loving it. Personally no difference whatsoever from both 5100 and 300V. Though the former is tad cheaper than the latter.

I'd so go ahead with no second thoughts, if need be the same.

Here is the same oil used abroad with same rating with the just "mentioning" as opposed to official kitemark etc.




Here is the same sold in India. Of course it chucks out the obvious.

Replaced the engine oil in my discover 100 cc to Gulf oil 4t Plus 20W40 and after riding the bike for 500 kms with this engine oil it is better w.r.t. to Motul 3000 4T Plus 20W40. The gearshifts are smoother and the vibrations are also less.

I want to try the Mobil Delvac engine oil and would like to know the difference between Mobil Delvac 1300 and Mobil Delvac 1400. Which one is better of the two?
Since these engine oils are available in 15W40 and 20W40 should one stick with 20W40 or 15W40 can be used? Any pros and cons using Mobil Delvac Super 1300/1400 15W40 over Mobil Delvac Super 1300/1400 20W40 ?

The dealer is selling a 5 ltr can of Mobil Delvac Super 1300 20W40 for 1050 Rs and the Mobil Delvac Super 1300 15W40 for 1150 Rs.

If you are happy with the present oil and can run more than 2000 km without losing comfort, no need for any diesel engine oil. But yes if you want to use them as an engine flush for once in a while i.e for 2000-3000 km in every 10,000 km etc then you may opt for them. They are good cleaners of gasoline engines.

Delvac 1300 or 1400 would be more or less same... 1300 would be a very good engine flush whereas 1400 would be a very good high speed/rpm protector. 1300 carries a lot of detergent and 1400 a lot of ZDDP.

Yes I am happy with Gulf oil but would like to try other engine oil also. Since I am hearing a lot of positives with Shell Rimula and Mobil Delvac wanted to try the Mobil Delvac. Does this mean that the diesel engine oils should not be used normally rather as an engine flush once evert 10000 kms?

Kindly elaborate on what do you mean by 1300 contains a lot of detergent and 1400 contains a lot of ZDDP. What are the pros and cons between them?

Since these engine oils are available in 15W40 and 20W40 should one stick with 20W40 if the engine specs say to use 20W40 or 15W40 can be used? Any pros and cons using Mobil Delvac Super 1400 15W40 over Mobil Delvac Super 1400 20W40 ?

Many here have sucessfully used diesel rated oil on their motorcycles to good effect without problems . They have written about their experiences upto now here too . Please read up about it in previous pages of this thread , as well as google for it . I myself am still reading up their updates and want to try such oils soon . But as Psr'jee has warned many times , this is experimental and there are risks involved , particularly with random and un-informed use . Be aware the risk is entirely yours .
Go ahead with it if you clearly understand the risks and still want to experiment , else stick to the oils that you know works well for your bike .

I have heard good reviews about Mobil engine oils. They are super smooth. One of my colleague used the oil in his Logan. He was praising the oil.

Cheerz!!

Now a days, all the car engine oils are certified for both (CI & SI engines). But, never heard that, bike oils certified for diesel categories also.

Any oil with both credentials on it??

Cheerz!!
