      Costs around 550 bucks and drain interval is between 3-4k km depending on the way you ride.

          Grade doesn't doesn't determine the quality of the oil, grade is how viscous the oil is under certain temperature, read the info on first post you'll understand everything. 3100 and 5100 are SS oils and 300v is a FS oil.

            i know the viscosity concept, just that 3100 and 5100 are of same company and same grade and as u say both are SS, thats why was in a bit of a confusion about the difference between them...!!

              The contents in respective oil is different as compared to other.

                  bajaj discover 100 with castrol power 1 racing 10w50.
                  Done 400kms trip thrice with this same oil at speeds 80-90kmph streching max to 97kmph. vibrations occur after crossing 90kmph speed. I think thats sounds surprising for a 100cc bike.
                  I Did 6000kms in a period of 7 months on same oil. The oil didn't feel of draining after such abuse.
                  That Bajaj oil gave severe vibrations at just 60-70kmph speed.

                        Main issue is the availability of motul. Though i will surely try yamalube ss. I think it is the same motul.
                        Vibes at 90+ speed is something excepted from a 100cc bike.

                          Use Motul 300v then, drain interval between 4-5k, costs 950 bucks.

                            As said by sinnerz, drain period depends upon your ride style and moreover health of your bike engine.

                            Both of engine oil are good. Try out and give your feedback.

                              planning to go with motul 4t 5100 15w50 oil for p180 clocked 9600 kms.

                              Right choice..?

                              avoiding 300v because on motul website, they have written that 5100 is recommended for bajaj engines.

                              ----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

                              can anyone throw light on cost of motul 5100 and motul 7100...?
