Re: Engine Oils

Just now saw a can of shell helix hx7 in my mechanic's shed.

It has API SM/SG+
Ut had quoted to be used for fi pertrol and diesel engines.

Costs 387. Can they be used for our bikes?

10W40 grade

It is car engine oil. Should not be used in bikes.

Yeah I read that beforr but it has API and JASO rating thats why I had doubt. It can be also used for diesel engines too

Re: Engine Oils

I've been using Motul 7100 in my Duke 200 since my first servicing. Done 8000Kms but the engine feels too rough. I haven't changed the oil since last 2500kms but have completed around 4 months on the current fillup. Should I just keep using the 7100 or switch to something else to make it a little bit smoother??

If the 7100 isnt helping you then the only next option would be the motul 300v

Actually my doubt was on the lines of, is the roughness because of the oil isn't changed in 4 months or because it is 7100..

Current generation engine oils can be used in Petrol as well as Diesel cars.

It is because of the oil being old enough now. Change the oil and you will surely feel the difference.

I change mineral oil in my bike every six months, i dont think a FS oil would feel rough after just 2.5k km and 4 months.

Actually I haven't been riding my bike a lot in the past couple of months, so I avoided changing the oil in my 3rd servicing last week...
Just from a knowledge point of view, would putting mineral oil once in a couple of months for a change make the engine a little but smoother??

No, its not gonna help, it'll just make things worse. Bikes like ktm arent meant to run on mineral oil, thats just used during the run in period so that the bore and piston rings wear properly.

Consider the SS and FS like blood groups. You either have it or you simply don't. It will behave differently with both the oils mate. So definitely not RECOMMENDED. The D200 is meant to exploit the benefits of FS and also you can pour in Xtra Premium fuel, it will benefit from it too.
