Re: Engine Oils

Whats the exact drain interval of 7100 in P220 ? ran 3k kms on it with mixed driving conditions is it the correct time to change?

Yup, very much. The oil has to be retired with full honour

Cheerz!!

Im using it in my ZMA and plan to change at 6k at least. I think you would be good enough for at least 5.5k provided you have a healthy engine...

Re: Engine Oils

You are using a car oil in bikes.. helix is for cars, advance is for bikes. Now, dont put that oil again. But if you insist.. better put this oil than crapstrol.

I would suggest Shell Advance 10w40 AX7 for any honda bike in the SS category. Similarly you can use Motul 10w40 grade oils.

Like others have pointed out: it is unadviseable to use car eng oil in bikes because of wet clutch in bikes. Use only JASO MA1 or MA2 oil for wet clutch to avoid clutch slippage.These generally will have '4T' on the box or bottle. Provided oil changes are regular a less priced oil will work as good as the costliest for non racing applications. Motul 5100 10w40 is most suitable and desirable for almost all indian mobike operations.

Some people suggests to drain at 3k kms while some suggests to drain at 5k CONFUSED.

I own a ZMA and use 10W40 grade, and drain at 4k if using SS and around 6k if using FS. I've always followed those drain intervals unless theres some other issue. Works for me perfectly fine. Considering you use W50 grade in your ride, that too Motul FS, you should have almost same drain intervals. Some very senior riders/members on xBhp forums riding p220's have used same intervals with nice results. You can go back some pages and check. Whats theissue btw???

4k drain? Then I'd rather buy SS oils from now on instead of mineral, it works out cheaper.

I spend about 250 per 2k km for oil change if I buy Motul 5100 for 500 and drain at 4k km its the same and added advantage is extra smoothness from SS oil compared to mineral, or I can use shell ax7 for 350 bucks nd save 150 lol

Petrol pumps usually sell their own brand oils like bharat petroleum pumps sell MAK oils, which I don't think are good, you can buy oil from shell pumps but you'll be paying full mrp price.

If you are buying from a petrol pump, it should either COCP or Shell.
I use Gulf or Shell and I ensure I get Shell engine oil only from Shell Select store. They also replace the oil free of cost.

If the pump is flocked with cars and bikes, then there is no issue in buying anything from there. The products are genuine (personal experience).
