Engine Oils

Re: Engine Oils

Xbhp was down since last night abhi tak:banghead:
I dont get this nervous when my gf dosent txt back! (hope she dosent read)
My bike is running cool even is this 42'c kolkata scorcher but thats coz I am doing short trips in open roads... college ka rasta is hellish bumper to bumper traffic...:P
I have a question
Will quenching a hot engine with water from the outside evenly with a spray bottle be bad for the engine?
(Havent tried it but have an idea!)
Will connect a small dc pump(30 to 50gm weight runs on dc used in some coolers) and 4 to 10 spray nozzels in a high pressure configuration with a 2 liter water bottle, (will cover it with thermacole to keep it cold under the seat and extend the plumbing)
Switch on and.... psssss.........it will douse the engine all around with cool water....that can spill on the road and ecaporate within few seconds/minutes!
Pros and cons of this idea and if it has no side effects will go ahead and impliment it. Will make for a sexy spray jet!
Truck racing tyres have these to cool the brakes!
divyansh....

Why such bizzare idea? Let the engine cool the way it generally cools.

The brakes thar are cooled using water reaches very high temperature instantly and if they are not cooled, they might stick against the brake disks and result in no braking.

I guess this is OT. Kindly post your query in respective bike ownership thread. Don't take it the wrong way

Cheerz!!

Re: Engine Oils

DC fans might work, but still it will suck hot air from surroundings and blow it towards the engine, plus the hot air blowed by these fans will become more hot by the engine heat and will hit straight at your legs.

Re: Engine Oils

Initially I was a bit worried about my choice, but now I think its fine. I had horrible experiences at the SVC. They told me they didn't had the tools or even the Owner Manual (which made me suspicious about whether they even know about a Service Manual or not), but its too late now. I am already in love with her Thanks for replying!

Take good care of the engine and gearbox. Sourcing engine/gearbox parts would be difficult if Bajaj discontinues the bike. I have bad experiences with spare parts for my XCD-135. I had to sell it off.

Re: Engine Oils

Has anybody used Elf Moto4 Gold (20W40) Mineral oil. According to elf website this is a JASO certified product. Can anybody share their experiences while using this oil?

One of my friend had used it in his Apache FI. Being a Mineral oil, don't expect the oil to do wonders. The oil was good as compared to the one he was using initially.

Re: Engine Oils

How do you guys top-up your fs oils? I mean from where do you get that little quantity of fs oil to pour in?

PS. Just put in motul 7100 20W50 in Fazer ☺😃 was using elf moto fs before.. 4xt tech or something.. Was amazing experience.. Lasted really long without losing smoothness!

Easily available 20W50 grade synthetic engine oil

I have a discover 125T (2k On ODO), now i want to change the Oil, i am not satisfied with bajaj 10000, so want to go for fully synthetic oil, I am from lucknow, so availability of so called 'exotic' things are limited here.
i want to know which will be a good easily available 20W50 grade synthetic engine oil, castrol power 1 racing is available but then it is 10W50 and i need 20W50.

Why switch to Motul-7100 20w50 if it was an amazing experience with Elf-Moto(FS)-4xt Tech?

Well that's disappointing, but not very disappointing because that is the fate of every Discover model I doubt if Rajiv Bajaj is of Chinese descent.

You will have to buy the whole can for top up purpose. The company recommends 20W40 grade for Fazer, don't you feel sluggishness using 20W50 oil?

He was using TVS TRU4.

I am using elf 15w40 performance 3d oil in my fazer and very happy with it. I have also used mobil 1300 super 15w40. Both oils work excellent in fazer. The elf oil is slightly thinner than mobil and the engine sound is heard more. Both oils last 3000 km and costs less than 280.
These are hdeo, use at your own risk.

I have seen SVC guys pouring 20W40 oil in Fazer's and FZ's. Don't know why Yamaha hasn't updated the manual.

What oil have you been using before Motul? Yamalube only has 20W40 (for Fazer's & FZ's) and 15W50 (for R15).
