Engine Oils

Re: Engine Oils

The Honda throttle fully synthetic 10 w30 is manufactured by Tide water oil ltd.

Tide manufacturers it and HONDA labels it.

When you buy the black bottle manufacturer details are mentioned at the backside.

Its a good oil and can stay alive at 3.5 to 4k kms. After that vibration starts to kick in.

Cheers,
Sanjay

Great info. This is why we should read the product details.

Motul 300v in R15 is a complete waste of money & oil.

There's no way a calm engine of 150cc from Yamaha need this oil. The chances are it might leak out because it's such thin.

Stick to 5100 or 7100 and it's more than enough.

I understand that 300v is too much for a 150 cc machine.. And i have good faith in 7100 as i have used it many times ..
I just want to give it a try to see how it performs . that's the reason for ordering only 1 bottle .
Thanks for the suggestions mate ..

Evaporation is high too if ridden in bumper to bumper traffic with heavy clutching. Lost like 300 ml in 1500-1800 kms when i was using 300v

I will keep an eye on the oil level for sure while using this oil .
And my ride mostly includes highway, and I usually go to office in off shift timings - because of 24*7 shift job [emoji17] ,so rarely i stuck in traffic.

Re: Engine Oils

Till now i have used
Yamalube 10w40 synthetic
Yamalube 20w40 mineral
Motul 7100 20w50
Shell Advance ultra 10w40
Next
Motul 300v 15w50 .

Motul 7100 was the best oil so far for me with too much ripping, sane riding , highway riding , city riding and hill riding .. Works well in summer condition. But in winter My svc mechanic said it can create some starting issues. So will be going for 10w40 then ..

That's a bit on higher side. Mention this to your mechanic next time you go SVC.

Changing oil again & again is not good for engine.

Even if the grade is same (10W40) but from different manufacturers, the oil differs. Stick to the one that was satisfying.

Thanks for the suggestion mate .
This will be my last try I promise to my bike [emoji13] and then will stick to either 7100 or 300v if that gives satisfactory results..
Lastly want to know the feedback of shell advance AX7 as it is darn cheap and semisynthetic too .. I got it at ₹315 .

Try finding a motul dealer or reseller then.
When I was in Mumbai, we xBhp people were lucky enough to find a distributor. He was giving flat 50-80₹ discount on each bottle and always said he could give 100-120₹ discount if we purchase 7-8 bottle together.

No such luck in Delhi though.

That happened 50-60k kms back. I switched to 5100 and then iam on the same engine now. Done 1.10 lakh total kms (50-60k kms after the 300v fiasco).
