  • Re: Engine Oils

    Not an wholesome idea at all . 1) pencil leads are a poor substitute for graphite , it has a lots of clay in it sometimes exceeding 50% of the volume depending on the hardness grade of the pencil 2) even in engines that has no replaceable filter , there are strainers and centrifugal filters which are very much likely to get overloaded and jam the oil pass-thru with ANY solid powder in this amount 3) thin oil galleys are likely to get jammed , usually with permanent effect requiring an complete overhaul . AND there are many other concerns too - like what you are going to do with slippery clutch plates . In other words - Don't even think about it .

                  Since nothing is mentioned on the front label at least about synthetic , i'd take it that it's a mineral oil . It has anti-friction additives ( most probably moly ) and is a properly certified JASO MB oil .

                            Motul 300v is by far the best engine oil for motorcycle.
                            Regarding Shell advance Ultra, though its a good oil but many people(including me) have noticed a constant drop in oil level. Also the only grade available in Shell Ultra is 10w40 which will be too thin for 200ns especially in current temperatures.
                            So you should opt for Motul 300v 15w50.

                              Hey guys,
                              I own an Apache RTR 160 and I am from kolkata, with temperature already touching 40 degree, I am a bit cobcerned about which oil to use.
                              Currently my bike is running on shell advance ax7.
                              Should I use something more thicker or stick with the oil I am using.
                              And also which fs oil to use for RTR?

                                Hello brother,
                                Currently im using motul 3100 gold 20w50 in my p150 classic
                                Il advice u to stay away from shell fs because I dont know why it has a habit of eating away gaskets and resulting in oil leaks.
                                Stick to motul imo amd go for a thicker oil it will stay more viscous in these temperature s....
                                Fs oils in 40'c temp..... im sure u will see drop in oil level
                                When its this hot mineral is the way to go....
                                Bt if you are already using fs oils u cant go back to minerals can you?
