Engine Oils

Re: Engine oil amount

According to the manual of your bike oil capacity is 0.9l but the actual filment should be 0.7L, so there is no need to worry on getting lesser oil while draining.

yeah true that's it now it's solved thnx

Nope, not yet.

actually my service guys pour the whole 1L oil bottle in to the engine so the oil level is way too higher than the "high" level ) so some times i had to drain it myself.what i'm doing is draining the excess oil till the oil level comes to the "high" mark of the oil inspection window

Which SVC/ASS are you talking about here?

Which SVC/ASS are you talking about here?

service center is located in Delhi

About which service center are you talking about in Delhi, i don't know your location but if you want then i can give you the number of a mechanic who works in the service centre, he is quite good and you can get your bike serviced at his home also, by this way you will also be able to save money as these svc charges more money.

Re: Engine Oils

Is it bad to shuffle between a Mineral oil and a SS oil (which is mostly a mineral)? If yes, why?

Re: Engine Oils

Mineral or ground oil is obtained from crude oil, this kind of oil is good for old engines or if your engine have any leaks, it expands engine seals and hence stops engine leaks, fairly cheap as well, ss oil's base oil is mineral but additives are mixed in it to prevent it from getting thin at higher temperatures better than mineral, shuffling is not bad but not advisable either when your engine is getting more relaxed at higher speeds and higher temperature with ss oil then why one would go for pure mineral oil which has got early drain period, and almost nil protection at higher temperatures.

You can shift between mineral and semi synthetics, just be sure to change the oil filter (cheap thing but very important).
But I personally stick to semi synthetic to get the best of both worlds between a fs and a mineral oil.
It dosent vaporise as much as a fs oil, hence doesn't drop in quantity, (extream heat during summers)
Heats up relatively faster than a mineral during cold starts,
Lasts longer than a mineral less than a fs
And yeah its cheaper than a fs and costlier than a mineral.
Your oem grade is 20w40
Your fine with xxw40 so 10w40 also counts
I would use shell advance ax7 10w40 all year round, its a ss.(3000 to 3500 km drain interval)
You can have a look at motul 3000 20w40 mineral ( as good as a ss) (2000 to 2500 drain interval)
If you find something you like between these, your good to stick with it all year round,
Hope it helps.

Re: really confused !!

hi guys, I own a discover dts-si 100 and it is 2 yrs 3 months old. I am using motul 5100 4t 15w50 for last 7000 kms, but 20w40 is what recommended. Should I change my engine oil to 20w40 ? Please help i am nearing my next engine oil change. Really looking forward for some helpful reviews

The discover dts-si 100 has a 94 cc engine. 15W50 oil will be too viscous for a 94 cc engine to handle. This will result in drop in mileage and loss of power as the thicker oil will cause more resistance for the piston. I would like to suggest a 10W40 oil which will be thick enough to provide proection in summer and thin enough to help in cold starts in winter.
Try shell AX7 10W40 or motul 7100 10W40.

Also changing engine oil grade will eventually cause oil leakages in the long run as the engine clearances become tuned to one particular grade of oil. You can use 20W40 too, but then stick with same grade throughout

The so called "Semi synthetic oil", we get in India is just "more refined" mineral oil. We had a lot of discussion on this topic few months back on this very thread.

We have an association called JASO which rates oils on the basis of performance (shear stability), sulphated ash content, evaporative loss, phosphorous content etc.

I would suggest to buy a JASO certified mineral oil rather than any uncertified SS/FS oil. pls check the below link for jaso certified oils

hi Honda_abhi. can I use 10w40 Fully Synthetic ? Or should I go with Semi Synthetic ?

Re: Engine Oils

If someone want real fs oil than go for
MOTUL 300V no other oil can beat it

Yeah this oil is getting some serious appreciation from users, what's the rate of evaporation of this oil as most of the synthetic oils do evaporate.

Hi saumyadip. I feel you should go with Motul 7100 4T 10W40. This oil is jaso certified. JASO certification will ensure that you dont get duped by bogus oils marketed as "Fully synthetic"

Also this oil is with ester technology. Oils with ester technology are manufactured from Group 5 base stock and are one of the finest FS oils available in the market.

JASO certification has got nothing to do with oil being categorised as Mineral / Semi Synthetic / Full Synthetic.

Cheerz!!
