      Its available in honda SVC. Its Honda oil of 10w30 grade. If you cant source that, try shell ultra 10w40 or shell AX7 10w40. Price details etc are available in this thread. 300v was available in 10w40 grade last time I saw Motul's India website.

            I bought it from a distributor.

                  BOTH are good , but i found honda throttle way better than anything when i bought it in 2012 for some 500 rs !
                  No way, i think u need at least 1200 ml .
                  Refer to your manual ( pls do not overfill )

                          It will last 4k to 5k kms. But keep an eye on oil level since fully synthetics have a tendency to Vaporise.
                          Pls don't call me sir. I am only 22 and may be like your brother. Where are you in kerala? I am from kollam.

                            hi guys , i am new here from punjab.i have a 2007 hero honda hunk. i only uses my bike for city riding only. recently i started riding my bike for long trips of 400km in one day.i ride mostly at the speed of 80 to 90 kmph not-stop for 4 hours on NH1. my bike completed only 17000 km. i need some help in these questions.

                            1- I need some SAE 10W-30 OIL recommendations from you guys for long trips . should i use hero honda 4t oil or choose some other brand? can i use honda unicorn or dazzler engine oil for hunk?
                            2- how much oil do i need for oil change? my hunk manual says engine oil capacity 1.2 litre,0.90 litre at draining. what that supposed to mean. do i need 1.2 litre or 0.90 litre for oil change.
                            3- can i purchase hero honda 4t oil from service centre without changing it by their mechanics . i want to change engine oil myself because service centre guys waste my time.

                            hope u guys help me.

                              You can use veedol take off 4t premium 10w30 the best engine oil for hunk and xtream. If it is not available use gulf pride 4t both oils are tested and prooven by hunk xtreme riders here. Do not use any other grade than 10w30 in hunk it will degrade the performance. Using honda oil is total waste since both the hero oil and honda oil is produced by same vendors. Only difference is that honda oil is little costly than hero, being it is packaged as honda[emoji12] you can get the hero oil from svc spare parts section cost for new bottle is rs 285. Only need to fill 900 ml of oil on normal oil change. 1.2 l is required when clutch cover is removed for oil strainer cleaning etc.
