Please take a look at the following link to read a brief description about the various engine oils offered by Honda Honda

Since your Unicorn is new and has only clocked 3000 kms, it is better to stay with mineral oil supplied by Honda (white colored bottle) ............... you may consider to use "Throttle" engine oil after a run of around 10 - 15 k kms.

Allow me to further add a little experience of mine here to help you figure out the usual situation at the Honda's ASC .............. you will notice that in every service (free/paid), which is in your case is free as of now, the money charged per unit is increased, be it engine oil or labor etc etc .............. I had such an unsatisfactory experience at them that I moved out to a better mechanic after completion of 1 year standard warranty. You will realize this manipulation after a year, trust me.

Yea ASC suck! Besides they have average mechanics there.

The biggest disadvantage is that everytime when you put your bike on service at an ASC, God knows the mechanic (with his own days of exp) who handles and submits back the report sheet to inform completion of the service. I had such a bad experience with noise from my rear brakes at ASC. It was finally resolved and explained to me in details by an outside mechanic only when I chose to move out of ASC. Guys at ASC had declared that the creepy noise from rear drum is a very usual problem.

This is the biggest aspect upon which Honda seriously needs to work upon................ they provide world-class quality motorcycles but offer a disaster in service

You can change to synthetics from day 1. My opinion is to use them from second service. (Though, value addition from use of FS is debatable)

No worries. Just follow recommended drain intervals. Dont extend drain intervals on new engine when you use FS.

Re: Engine Oils

The 2000 is a 4 wheeler oil.... do not use it.

[MENTION=32286]psr[/MENTION] have you drained R3X and inspected your oil strainer? please update.

Re: Engine Oils

@psr have you drained R3X and inspected your oil strainer? please update.

Since I had done only 1,200 kms I will drain at 1,500 Kms ,and update then....another ZMA owner had done over 1,800 Kms on R3X and had no issues ....Check ZMA-R thread.

Dont stretch any oil to 5k kms. Max should be 3-3.5k. Also, change the oil by 70-75 days period or at the specific drain, whichever comes earlier.

Cheerz!!

[princesirohi]

Re: Engine Oils

that is the reason i asked it here, coz i have never streched any oil to 5000 kms, but P200NS says oil change interval is at 10,000 kms with a top up at 5000 kms. the service interval is at 5000 kms. and it is recomended to use Bajaj DTS-i oil.

although i will not stretch any oil be it bajaj or motul to 10,000 kms as recommended in manual for P200NS, but since service interval is at 5000 kms, thats why i asked.

has anybody used motul 5100 for 5000 kms..??

5100 is a good oil

If service interval is 10,000 kms on DTSi. You can definitely use it for 5000 Kms. But there should be a clause for duration too. If I had to change oil every 10K, it would be around 1 year. I dont think thats advisable.

By the way, when did you bought the bike?? Nice choice.

Re: Engine Oils

thanks, i got it on last friday.

duration is not a problem, 1 week and 650 kms done already.

Congrats !! I think sticking to the OEM's guidelines will ensure continuation of warranty on your machine for the stated period ............ please check before you decide to change oil or anything
