Re: Engine Oils
No offence taken. I wasn't defensive either. Was simply stating the facts and the history behind the vid. Very few are qualified enough like you. Hope you can shine some more light on the subject if deemed necessary.Originally posted by Zapps View PostWell, no offence, but I'm just saying it was not upto the mark I prefer. To me, it was like usual click bait videos I see from desi YTers, maybe his other DIY videos are good.
Besides, I too am an automobile engr and have some experience in QA and application engineering(new product development) in an auto-parts company, that's part of the Minda group.
Also, my current employment is in the field of lubricants albeit industrial. But still, I do understand what goes on into a lubricant. Though, since we're talking about retail products here so they usually don't share detailed info on them for end users.

Re: Engine Oils
I guess the basic difference is that Motul comes from se Asia. And HP is made here isn't it? So maybe some difference in quality. Reviews seems to be pretty good though. Also HP price comes to 199 during sale or usually around 220. Haven't seen the 5100 price fluctuate.Originally posted by #bpk View PostKinematic viscosity of motul 5100, 10w 30 and hp 10w 30 oil is very similar at 100°c . Is hp oil more vfm than motul.

Re: Engine Oils
Has anyone tried idemitsu fully synthetic oil in your motorcycles? I am hearing good comments on that oil from local mechanics and price also seems lesser at Rs.425/ltr. Wanted to check from you guys as well regarding the experience if any.Last edited by vengymgen; 12-20-2018, 04:47 PM.

Re: Engine Oils
Using Motul 7100 since a whole 40k kms, nothing as good as that. 10w50 grade.Originally posted by athalekar View PostHello Riders,
Could be a repeat thread.
Which oil is suitable for avenger 180 after 1st servicing ?
The engine is rough in itself and the oil change won't make it smoother, but it would definitely dampen some vibrations.
