      Hey guys. I bought a 2015 Splendor Pro in Summer and have covered 9k on the ODO. I've used 20w40 Castrol Activ till date and now in winter, the temperature is usually within 20C. I've been having a lot of cold start issues and the Hero manual recommends using 10w30. Should I switch to it for the winters?

          I've been getting some recommendations to use a GS Caltex Semi-Synthetic 10w30. Tempted to try it because of the good reviews.

              It's on Amazon. Not many product reviews but I read a few on some other sites.

                  Yes. Offline it costs about Rs 295 and there's a Rs 20 off when you scratch the card on the cap. At Rs 275, it doesn't sound too costly for a SS oil.

                        Who is that, since I've watched MC Garage videos. I expected some better content. This guy is just citing simple brochures.
