Engine Oils

Re: Cbr 250r

Motul 7100 is the best oil I ever had on a CBR250R. 300v is good if you're taking a long trip or are spending a day on track, it is built for short periods of extreme stress on engine - but it disappears away too quickly. 7100 is what you should go for if your don't race. Motul 5100 is good too, but at 18K I'd go with FS if I were you. I also think as you own a Honda FS that you're already using FS on your bike?

Yes it's fully synthetic, I bought it for 340 odd rupees directly from the whoelsaler and it's SS not fully synthetic.

It's technosynthese, that's Motul-speak for Semi-synthetic. And for 200 more bucks one can get 5100, a much better oil. But I guess that's subjective. Also, aren't all Motul 3K series oils made in India while 5100, 7100 and 300v imported? I know for sure 3000 is made locally. In that case 5100 seems even better deal since one is getting export quality oil!

I've used the FULLY SYNTHESE 3100 GOLD for my bike and I bought it for 475 odd bucks along with 5100 and 300V. F

That is strange. Motul site, along with all pics on Google image search say it's Technosynthese.

Check it out: Welcome to Motul

You sure it was genuine?

Re: Engine Oils

Dear frens, I am using motul 300v for my pulsar 200ns and its been 4 months and I have barely covered 1000kms. I know that the 300v holds good for around 5000kms but does it have a drainage interval according to time. Someone told me to change engine oil atleast once every 6 months even if you haven't been a mile cruncher. How much of that is fact? Please enlighten me!

PS- I did try searching the thread but couldn't find much help.

Oil like any stuff does tend to oxidate over time, it's kind of moot-point some say it's a rule to follow others don't, for I fall on the latter category. The idea is not intermittent usage, but long stops altogether for a month or so. But coming to common man terms, spending so much on an oil and draining it for non-usage is kind of naive in the first place. Considering you've already done more than 5k KMS on the bike, which is suffice to consider a FS, at the least.

Personally I don't think you'd need to change the oil unless the bike is idle for more than two months or so, complete 100% non-usage. Intermittent usage is just as good, but again as I said it's a moot-point, and purely a personal decision.

2k is way lesser for any of the FS to go in. You can try the 3000T Mineral Motul or the 3100 SS for now, which are both budget based and right for your engine for the time being. You can consider FS at least after 6k mainly because you want your engine to set in.

Most people ask why is the gap for FS so extended? Primarily because mineral oils help contain compression and aid in the seating of piston rings properly, how and why? Since FS contain anti-wear additives in the oil, they to an extent reduce the *wear* of the piston itself which then reduces the overall set in of the piston and causes piston glazing over-time. So it's wise to use mineral. Mineral are petroleum based, but do not contain anti-wear additives as such which vastly improves the engine set in.

Well I am at 8k in odo. Changed the oil at 7k. I do ride a few times a week or so but lately been out of station and its gonna be the same for a few more months to come. Thnks for the knowledge and I do appreciate your personal opinion. It'll certainly help me in my decision. Now I guess i'll have to google 'moot-point' and help myself learn a few more things.

Re: Cbr 250r

That oil is like 350 bucks, its FS?? I always thought its a mineral oil little better than Motul 3000.

No, it's SS and I got it for 300 odd bucks wholesale. I just took the bill out now, finally. The total bill is 3900 for 5100, 3100, 7100. And my previous post was misleading. Gone with so many oils, kinda fcuked up with the specs. Took the bill out, just to get the points right.

yup as of now using honda FS...

No need to search hard... just visit any of the Shell outlets in Hyderabad ( Mythrivanam, Ministers Road, or Raidurgam - near Wells Fargo Building). All three places stock FS oils priced @900. Better than Motul in all parameter. Just make sure to flush your engine before you pour this in. Happy riding and hunting.

thanks buddy.. will get either from either of the places..

engine flush needed ??..its just a lil over an year old and just 17k odd on odo.. and using FS as of now..

I'd suggest you to use Motul 5100. It's SS and performs flawlessly. If you're considering fully synthetic, then try the Shell AX7 Ultra, or the Motul 3100 SS or 7100 or Petronas Sprinta 4000T FS

Cheers!

Go for Shell Advance ULTRA AX7 which is FS, not the AX7 which is SS.

Re: Cbr 250r

Friends,

Is Shell Rimula still available in the market for bikes? Last day, guy in Shell petrol pump told me that it was available only for diesel cars I saw 5L cans displayed but couldn't go for a close inspection.

It is originally meant for diesel cars but it can be used for bikes too

Yes, pretty much available. Shell bunks actually hesitate in giving us one. Come over to 80 feet road near Sanjaynagar while u go home. There is a stockist beside Maruti SVC bang opposite HDFC Bank.

As sinnerz pointed out, using a Diesel engine oil on a motorcycle engine is advisable and just make sure it meets the standards SL, which it most probably would do.

Shell AX7 or the AX7 Ultra or the Valvoline
