Re: Engine Oils

Overheating issues....and many times gear slippage....everything else was just OK about this oil
.....maybe the synths made a habit of smoothness in me :P
Soon switching for atleast thrice to Castrol p1 racing fully synth...

Okies. Will see in the long run, how does the oil perform.

Cheerz!!

Re: Engine Oils

I am particularly sensitive to it , if possible I'd have a totally silent motor .
As it is , there is too much chaos on the city roads .

I also feel the same but riding a silent vehicle is dangerous as the others road users/pedestrians fail to notice us .

Am looking for it here . However I wish , i can't try out delvac or rimula just yet . You see I have filled the gulf synth 10w30 just one n a half months back .

You can use your 10w30 oil in winter. Finding a Delvac 1300 is very easy thanks to the majority of diesel cars. It is available in 1,3,4,5,10,15.... litre cans.
I have never seen Mobil Delvac 1400 in a 1 litre can. I know it is available in 4,15 litre cans.

but don't overrun the oil , drop it by 2500 . Any change in fuel mileage with it compared to the 10w30 or 20w40 ?

No considerable change in the FE.

Did you miss 5? I Have one.

@ VJ/Blackthorn - Mobil Delvac 20W50 is mentioned on the list of available MSDS from Mobil India here -

Select Country India and search Delvac.

But I am not sure where would you find it.

And that's the dilemma. But the search never ends, have told three people here in my town to stack if they can source me. All gave a big grin and said, if we can, then definitely sir. But this week if things go right, I might go for a 100K jayride and keep them posted too.

But will keep the progress posted here.

Re: Engine Oils

Anyone wants to experiment with chain lube ?
Use a mixture of diesel engine oil and SAE90 gear oil and grease mixed in it . I have been using this since last one year and extremely satisfied with the results.
Chain shines like new and does not dry-up.

When the chain looks dirty,I liberally lubricate it and then take the bike for a high speed ride. Along with the excess oil,dirt is also thrown off from the chain. Lazy me !

Cons : I don't have any idea about its effect on chain life. So far I haven't faced any issue.

(Standard policy- Use it at your own risk )

Grease in the sense, molten grease or normal lithium grease? And how will you concoct them or more aptly how do you concoct them, just so we get an idea. Considering all these are multigrade mixed with even denser oils must result in good lubrication film.

But if you can expand a little upon the mixture that'd be real helpful.

Re: Engine Oils

Hey guys, when do u ideally change your engine oil ? - Following what is written in the vehicle's manual. 2 to 3 K kms usually.
Also whenever you change the oil, do you drip the previous oil ? Is there any other way?
And could you guys suggest me a good oil for P150 ? Subjective; Motul 5100 15W50 would be good.

Thanks bro!

Also, what is a Synth / Semi-Synth Oil ? Which one do you use for your bike?

Synth/Semi-synthetic oil is MARKETING, if your vehicle did not come factory filled with FS/SS oil.

Which one do you use for your bike? - Dont follow me. I am on Diesel engine oils. But if you want to save some money from SS/FS oils, diesels are good substitute.

Around 48k KMs, no idea about the previous oil since my mama gave his bike to me for free . I did servicing from Bajaj 3 months ago when i bought the bike. They had changed the oil. Not sure which one though

The BOLD text doesn't go well together

Motul 5100 costing around 500 INR would be best for you.

In other cost efficient options you can try Shell AX5 20w50 oil. For other options try the pulsar 220 thread, they use some other oils. Grade is same 20w50 for your's and 220.

The bill will tell you which oil the Bajaj SVC had put.
