    Do not worry my friend, compression loss and worn piston rings etc happen to every vehicle at some point of its life.
    Go to a good mechanic and ask for a parts list required for a complete bore piston change.
    Rebores are usually screwd up by mechanics but sometimes they do a good job too. Now its not worth the risk unless you trust the mechanic.
    Buy the parts and pay the mechanic for labour only,
    Use a mineral oil after the job to aid run in then you may switch to semi synthetics....

        Hey Everyone,
        I wanted to know that how long is the shelf life of these oils? There's no use before date mentioned on the packaging. The person I buy from has some old stock(2013) left which is around 100rs cheaper than the new prices. Thinking of stocking up on that.

          Shelf life is around 3-5 yrs. Where is this shop in Pune? Which oil's stock is that person having?

            Thanks, I should stock up at least a few cans more then The shop is in Akurdi, City Oil Company. It's the authorised vendor for Motul. I bought 3 cans of 5100 last week at Rs 550. The new price is Rs 640.

                          Almost half the Castrol products available in the market are fake. Buy only if from an authorised seller.

                              That's impossible. You may not have put the oil or tightened the bolt. My bro's bike rode 35 kms before siezing and there was no oil in it from the word go. In your case oil was reducing. The engine doesnot burn 1 litre fuel in 15 min. It normally takes 30 km or 45 mins to burn 1 l fuel.
                              A teaspoon of oil in combustion chamber will smoke bomb the vicinity and it cant go unnoticed.
