    I am doing fine thank you. I was also just preventing over generalisation. Though nothing wrong in your description.

      Is it okay if someone uses mineral oil(let's say motul 3100) for lifetime (until the final call comes ) on his p200ns. .?

          you should go for power1..stick to the 10W 30 grade..the oil grade is good because bike gets smoother and vibes are reduced but whichever oil you are going for stick to one grade, too mnay changes can cause problems in future..

            my new 2014 pulsar 180 has done 600 kms. During the first free service, they put in Bajaj DTS-i 10000 20W40 oil. Actual recommend is 20W50 but they didn't have any so they put this one. It has been horrible driving experience. I went ahead and bought Motul 3000 4T plus 15w50. Is this okay to use for my new pulsar 180 ?

              Yes, you can use 15W50 oil without any issues. If the SVC guys don't keep stock of recommended oil, IMO, take your oil and tell them to fill that for you. Also, make a point to let Bajaj know (mail then)about why you are using your own oil and not DTS-i oil during free service period.

                  No, it would be more beneficial. Slight reduction on pick up can be observed... but you are better protected with this oil.

                        Yes we can use it.. but you would need 100 ml every 6 months for such purposes. I think any new engine oil whether car's etc can solve this purpose easily.

                          My mechanic uses engine oil as universal lubricant.
                          He uses grease on wheel axel and bearing and engine oil every where else like:
                          Headlight switch
                          Indicator light switch
                          Foot rest hinge
                          Break pedel
                          Chain sprocket
                          Clucth wire
                          Throttle wire etc

                          I have got no time to DIY and ise proper lubricant so letting him do his way but things are going ok.
                          Engine oil catches dirt.Thats the only problem.
