Re: Engine Oils

I recently rebored my 2014 Karizma ZMR. Which engine oil would you recommend, from semi-synthetic to fully synthetic, as in which brand and grade? Thanks.

For ZMR you can safely use 20W40 or 10W40. As per my experience, somehow Honda engines detest Motul. You can go for Shell which I have found to be the best. Please refer to the Karizma thread in the ownership section.
And please do not go for XW50 grade.

Don't worry about Jaso ma or mb....mb oils contains friction modifiers which mess with wet clutch ....since scooters comes with dry clutch , you can use either ma or mb..
In market all mb oil comes in 10w30 weight which is not ideal for summer....
If u wanna experiment you can use car engine oils ,which also contains friction modifiers...I guess aprilla Sr 150 uses motul xcess 5w40 which is a car engine oil..

At higher temp 40 grade oil Will provide better protection then 10w30.....
Most of the two wheeler manufacturers in India use 10w30 bcoz it's an energy saving oil......we Indians ask for better mileage from bike , not better protection to engines...
