Did you bother reading the previous 20 pages? xBhp isn't an ATM machine where you swipe questions and get answers. Do your research before asking the same question again and again.

Re: Engine Oils

Folks purchasing engine oils through e-commerce sites. The only question I have is are those online sellers selling a genuine can of oil.

How do online buyers differentiate between original and fakes ?

Re: Engine Oils

Today went to nearby oil shop to buy Gulf 20w40 oil for my splendor and i was shown two cans that left me scratching my head. Both are "Pride 4T Plus 20w40" but having completely different stickers on the can. I have attached pics similar to those that were shown to me. Is either one of them fake? Why does Gulf have different stickering for the same oil variant?
Have any of you bought and used either of these?


Thanks!!

The difference is that the old bottle is API SL grade with jaso ma2.

The new bottle is API SM grade with has ma2

Re: Engine Oils

First off, I am posting this here in the News Section so people can get an insight into other oil options available apart from Motul, Castrol, Shell has taken joined the bandwagon in introducing thicker grade engine oil for the upper CC motorcycles, like Duke 390, Mahindra Mojo, Royal Enfield, Pulsar 220 and the likes. Slowly yet steadily it's good to see we're being offered options.

Shell has launched the Shell Advance Ultra 15w50, I think it's a welcome move considering Shell's presence here in India.
Just a few snippets from their website.

Re: Engine Oils

Man! Thanks you guys. Changed to AX 7 from the crappy TVS oil on my Apache 180 at 2500kms. Feels like I'm on the way to heaven. :P I want to specifically thank Blackthorn for this!

Re: Engine Oils

Recommended Engine Oil for Yamaha Fazer 153cc is 20w40 or 20w50 shown on Owner's Manual.
Yamaha ASC had been pouring Yamalube Semi-Synthetic 15w50 from 1st Service.
I had poured Motul 300v 100% Synthetic 15w50 after 6th Service.
During the removal of clutch-plates Yamaha ASC put Yamalube Sporty Premium Full Synthetic 10w40, because that Yamalube Semi-Synthetic 15w50 was out of stock.

Yamalube Semi-synthetic 15w50 is very good, nice acceleration, good mileage, smoothness is also good, but not available right now.
Motul 300v is thick, very very smooth, but very sluggish in acceleration at initial 250kms and also mileage get decreased by 2-3kmpl after Yamalube.
Yamalube Full Syntheic Sporty Premium 10w40 is thin oil, very responsive while accelerating and also gives good mileage of 40-42kmpl than 38-40kmpl, but after 85-90kmph, it tends to vibrate slightly at footpegs and drain interval is very low about 2000km and after 2000km the oil becomes Black "paani" type thin oil.
Now in the market, Motul 7100 10w40, 10w50, 20w50 are available and they are slightly thinner compared to Motul 300v and Motul 5100.
Should I use Motul 7100 10w40, thin oil & gives better acceleraton and mileage or stick to manufacturer recommendation of 20w50 (motul 7100 10w50 or 20w50).
Need advice & suggestion. Thanks.

Yes. Clutch will slip. Drain it.
