Engine Oils

Re: Engine Oils

I asked svc for the same and they said that it will hamper my warranty. Even if the grade is same like motul 300v 15w50.

Change oil yourself, they'll not be able to identify whether it's synthetic or mineral after it goes into engine.

That's smart. Will give it a shot.

Btw. What do you think about running on a mineral oil for 10000kms. Just want to know your views.

Don't do that, in my case, honda svc themselves recommended me to change mineral oil in 1500 kilometers. For liquid cooled engine like RR you can use mineral oil for 2500 kilometers at max! Experiment with different oil and choose which suits your engine the most. I think , motul 3000 is made in india. Use imported motul oil like 5100,7100 300v, 300v² etc, they're excellent!

Yes thanks brother. Even I dont want to do so and I was very disappointed to know about this.

I will try to change the oil to 300v because that's the only fully synthetic oil available in 15w50 configuration.

Dont want to go for semi synthetic and motul 7100 with 15w50 is not available in my city.

Re: Engine Oils

Just a small query. Can I use 10w50 oil instead of manufacture recommended 15w50 oil?

Re: Engine Oils

What does your manufacturer recommend?

You can, but it's better to stick to 15w 50 only.

Both have similar viscosities both at 40°C (120.5 and 126.5) and 100°C (18.1 and 18.0). So you should be fine with the 10w50 oil. For more details, just google Motul <oil name> XXwXX specs.

Hi There,
You can go for Motul 300v 15w50 thats the best for engines above 300 cc.

300v is a racing engine oil. It is designed to provide best performance over a short interval. It is not that it must not be used but its life is just one half or one third of 7100. If is good for someone who keeps the bike at high RPMs and ready to change oil every 2000 or 4000 kms (in air and liquid cooled bikes respectively).

Anyways you should change engine oil after 4000 kms. And if the bike is 310 cc. He must be revving high. Also the torque generation shall require high rpm around 10000 may be. I am regularly using Motul 7100 10w40 for CBR 150 from last 4 years, which hardly last 4000 kms. My daily commute is 50 kms and in Mumbai's heavy traffic.
