Re: Engine Oils : Motul 300v Factory Line in P135

Got it, fully-synth base oils are not like mineral base oils. Am I right?

To explain:


If rephrased, above 5w base oil is already(without any additives) a SAE J 300 5w30 grade fully-synth, no?

Base oils are generally in Groups, like Group 1, Group 2, Group 3. Depending on Mineral/SS/FS, thr quantity of base oil varies in each type of oil.

Mineral oil will have more of Group 1 base oil. Semi-Synthetic oil will have mixture of Group 1 & Group 2 (more of group 2). Full Synyhetic oil will have higher content of Group 3.

I have been using Mobil1 car engine oil in my old pulsar 150 and its pretty good and very VFM.
But not trying it in new bike.
Will try to get petronas fully synthetic.

Have you noticed any clutch slippage etc?
I have an occasional once or twice in a 100 kms maybe.
And I have used a diesel engine oil recently as an emgine flush because bof its carbon deposit cleaning property. Pored it in ran the engine for a good 200km poured it out all black and gunky
Replace with good oil:P
Voila engine decarbed:P
And I used an engine trest ment after that to restore compression
But no compression loss was felt, stillnwent ahead and used it.

Re: 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.

Your bike has done 2k odo. I assume your bike is under warranty. You should stay on mineral oil to be changed at svc at alternate services or depending upon kms.
If you expect better than according to availability in your area i would recommend castrol power 1 racing 10w50 fs and not any ss from castrol. Its really good oil might cost around 700rs. Yes, its safe to use and suitable for long rides in hot summers as it has best Viscosity Index. Don't go for any other castrol product mineral or ss, fakes are available too. Always buy from good reputed dealer with invoice bill.

Sorry for interfering but Castrol has a product in the Activ range, Castrol Activ X-tra 4T 20W50, which I think would be more suitable for a Disco 125T (I own one too, and I am planning to shift to this one. It has run around 850kms, and I won't be using a fully synthetic like Power1 10W50 so early). I am not very sure but I think this one would be easily available at local automobile shops (I'll check it out soon). I have found a few Product and Safety Data sheets which contain almost useless data but a few useful things like the Kinematic Viscosity values, product code (SDS no.) which may be helpful in making a choice or finding an authentic product.

Re: Easily available 20W50 grade synthetic engine oil

On the bottle of the oil can there are three types of information,

1. The API service rating.
2. The viscosity grade and 3rd the energy conservation indication(if it is or not)

The API service rating is a two letter denomination which tells the type of oil, whether for petrol engines or diesel engines.
The viscosity no (e.g. 5w50) tells the thickness of the oil or viscosity, a thin oil has a lower no and flows more easily,while the higher no means oil is thick and hence more resistant to flow, water has got very low viscosity, so it flows more easily, viscosity is ordinarily expressed in terms of time required for a standard quantity of a fluid at a certain temp. to flow through a standard orifice, the higher the value the more viscous the fluid, viscosity varies inversely with temp. its value is meaningless unless accompanied by the temperature at which it is determined, petroleum oil viscosity is commonly mentioned by centistokes (cst) measured at either 40degree c or 100* degree c, multi weight oil such as (10 w 30) are made possible by adding polymers to the oil, polymers supports the oil to have different weight at different temperatures, the very first no. indicates the viscosity of the oil at cold temp., while the second one indicates the viscosity at operating temp., at cold temp, the polymers are coiled up and allows the oil to flow as the lowest no. indicates, as the oil warms up polymers began to unwind into long chains and prevents the oil from thining as much as it would normally do, because of this at 100*c oil would thin as much as the higher viscoscity no indicates, another way of looking at multi viscosity oil is that a 20w50 oil with 20w will not thin more than a 50 weight would when ho.

There is clutch slippage under hard acceleration but its very rare.

Not a lot bro just a little bit , this oil chemistry is quite complex and to develop an oil that suits every need is very very difficult if not impossible , but since the new technology is taking birth day by day, we are seeing newer oils with newer polymers. I don't remeber the exact year , when ace F1 driver Michael Schumacher(hope he will be out of coma soon) used to drive for Ferrari, he had numerous gear box failure that year, just because of oil, hence Shell had to develop a totally new oil for Ferrari.

I live in Lucknow. All oils are available here easily - dont worry. I don't own a discover so don't know what goes best with it, but I'll help you find the oil. Here:

Motul, Shell, Castrol - Lalbagh chouraha. (I go to Nitin Auto Parts. But Motul, Shell and Castrol is available on every shop)

Elf, Mobil1, Castrol - In front of Novelty Lalbagh. (2 shops sel nothing except castrol oils, 1 shop sell nothing except elf and mobil 1)

Valvoline, OEM oils - Faizabad road. (There is a left turn you gotta take while riding towards Polytechnic, easy to spot due to sign boards. The shop right next to Valvoline distributor stocks almost all brands of chain lubes, FYI)

I haven't spotted Fuchs yet. But a lot of people tell me they stopped marketing motorcycle oils in India. So that may be why.

Let me know if you need any help.

Engine oil amount

hi in my HH Glamour service manual it says my "engine oil capacity" is 0.9L Below that again it mentions that "oil at draining" is 0.7L.i just need to know the difference between engine oil capacity and oil at draining capacity.thank you

When you drain the engine oil, all of it doesn't come out. An engine has a lot of movable parts where oil gets into gaps and crevices. Hence, you can rest assured that once the oil is settled in, it won't come out completely.

Both are FS oils and can be easily used upto 4500-5000kms. How many kms on the odo??
