Re: Engine Oils

Motul 3000 and gulf pride 4t plus are way better than
crap-strol.

Motul has got an oil specially made for these automatic scooters, you can look out for it.

In that case you might want to procure two bottles.

There's Motul 10w30 Mineral (JASO MB) for one, costing around Rs 210/-

I dispose the old oil by selling it to old oil collecting shopkeeper.

There is buy back price for used engine oil? Are there any in Bangalore?

Please share the return-rate & address of this guy.

Re: Engine Oils

Sounds like OT, however

1) I have two suzuki - zeus 125, access 125. which bikes you own SparKot? mileage you are getting?

Check my profile.
Access125 : 43 kmpl used it for around 6,500 kms
GS150R : 52 kmpl (19976 kms from 382.644 ltrs of petrol/gasoline)

2) Which is the best place to give service in bangalore? any suzuki specialist private mechanics in bangalore?

Frankly, I don't know. You should be the best bet with proper/right tools if you're up for it.

3) Have you tried suzuki genuine oil 10w30 1litre? price? can you share some photos of engine oils here?

My Access125 is/was running on Suzuki-SVC-Oil not sure of grade & make. It differs from SVC to SVC, or so I believe.
Price - I don't know, you can inquire yourself.

Hey first of all congratulations on the new ride, wish you a million happy mikes ahead
Now, first of all ask the svc if youcan bring your own oil, most svc allow this but some have issues with warranty clauses etc.
Now for the oil, sice your bike is in run in its best to stick to mineral/ss.
Motul 3000 15w50 / motul 3100 gold 20w50/ motul 5100 20w50 (500km to 1500km, replace oil filter)
And then I would use the above oils at a 2000 to 2500km drain interval till I am 5 to 8k kms on the odo and then I would shift to 7100 or 300v
Also 300v and 7100 will have a tendency to vaporize and drop in levels in this summer heat. Many owners have reported a little oil condensation in their spark plugs too in chock a block traffic


Motul 3000/3100 gold is around 350rs
5100 around 550rs
7100 around 680 to 750 I think
And 300v is above 800rs.
Prices aproxx. in kolkata it may vary from where you are
Hope this helps.

Re: Engine Oils

I have always changed the oil by myself only on one or two occasion i have got it changed by the mechanic this was the first time oil was changed in my absence(which actually wasn't), but this time i was in a hurry plus i did not want an oil change, he did it deliberately just for money, iam also from ones who tries to research and keep hunting for newer and better oils.Right now iam looking for royal purple oil.

Royal purple is a texas based organization. As far as I know, U will have to source royal purple oil from distributors in China.

Ok, sourcing from china, are you aware of the cost also.

Re: Engine Oils

Sparkot:

1) For GS150R, How many kms you will clean the carburettor?
2) For every service, what all things you will clean & do for your bike? how many kms you will do service?
3) Let me know Is carburettor cleaning is mandatory for every service to get mileage and smooth idling?

Bro this is a little ot. Can you head over to the carburettor thread? There is lots of info on gs150 carb cleaning etc just a few pages back.. You will get a lot of information there. please dont mind my friend.

hello buddy
Using motul 5100 for 7000km is a little too much, 5000km is more than enough. (Unless your a pure higway rider)
You can use 15w50 no issues as such ,just remember to replace the oil filter. Theoretically ,Since this is during the summer the 15w50 oil will hold its viscosity better than the 20w40.
During winters you can switch back to 20w40 say motul 30004t plus.(2500 to 3000 km drain interval), change oil filter when you change grade and dip the oil filter in 100ml of oil before hand.

Hope this helps

thanks for the info bro. Actually I forgot to inform 7000km ( 3,500 kms oil changed and now almost 3,500 + kms running ) . I never changed my oil filter, but next time i will keep that it in mind when i shift grades. Will valvoline 4t premium 20w50 ss be a good alternative in winter as I prior to motul i used that oil it was really excellent .

20w50 will be better in summers, that dosent mean it wont be good in winters, but I would go with 20w40 just cause it would heat up more quickly in winters samething you don't want it to do in summers
Oil filter should always be changed woth grades change and even during runn in it helps filter all metal particles during runn in etc change it asap and its very cheap too (around 50rs).
I personally feel bajaj engines are more happy with motul
If I were you then 15w50 in summers and 20w40 in winters is what I would do, but you can stick to any one all year round too without any ill effects
