I know how you got them, and I know you cannot use them. It is perfectly fine for my Zma. Tomorrow is a holiday for me and I am coming to rob them from you. Thanks in advance.

sir.... i can use it in my p200

CP1R is 10w40 oil. P200 needs 20w50 grade oil. You can not use sir.

@Kriss, if you have it with you already then it is always a good one to use... only if you have to buy it now there might be something better available.

You can use them in your Pee200... at least it should do better heat management than the supposedly 20W50 mineral oil you are using now and it should be able to manage the heat in a better way than that.

Worst case, you have the Access with you... else, we are anyway ready to snatch them away...

Busa needs 3.5L right? at least I wont suggest you to buy a horse because you've got a saddle free...

Thanks KP. I knew you would chip in here. Busa needs 3.2lts of oil.

I will 2 bottles for myself, for pee200 and access. And i'm giving one to Ravi.... Lets see how it works on ZMA.

Instead of saying that you can mention that one bottle goes to the lab

Please dont forget to update your experience on the access 125 after the change of oil to cpr1 10w-40. TIA.

What oil are you using now?

HEY GUYS TODAY I GOT MY BIKE's 1st service at the bajaj service centre...

they drained the engine oil which was existing earlier....and filled wqith castrol....

1.is castrol good for my p180dtsi
2.they filled it but iam unable to see it through the small window which is the rh of engine..

the oil level should be high such that i can able to see it through that ..

but iam unable to see. it/

this means they have not filled it to itz capacity..

am i right??

then on first service he said he would do a washing of the vehicle...and ..and changed the engine oil.........

when i asked if would anything else he said the byk is in stock condition so no need to check up

isthat true...have ur byks undergone 1st service like this

[vizzpv]

would it be good if i use a Valvoline 4T Premium (20W50) for my Hunk.. The manual suggests 10W30 ?

@vizzpv Please do not use that grade on your hunk.Its a lot thicker than the recommended grade.I have used SHELL 20 40W on my CBZ xtreme did not like it one bit the bike became sluggish.
But i am completely satisfied with my current oil(castrol power1 racing)which is a 10W 40 oil.It maybe cause its fully synthetic.The max u can use is XW 40 oil.



Guys i am changing my oil to motul 300v 5W40 double ester fully synthetic oil.Should i change the oil filter when changing the oil.My bike has done around 10800kms.The service center guys never cleaned the filter i am pretty sure about it.
The local mechanic says to clean/change the filter one has to remove the clutch assembly or something.Is it true.Or can i just change to motul directly is it safe to skip the filter change procedure.Thanks.

Better change the oil filter + Do engine fushing

You should not be using castrol in P180, the recommended oil rating is 20W50 and castrol doesnt have one with that rating.
Better change it to
Motul 300V 15W50 (Synthetic - 750Rs) or
Motul 5100T 15W50 (Semi-Synth - 400Rs) or
Valvoline 4T Premium 20W50 (Semi-Syth - 300Rs, maybe more) or
Motul 3000 20W50(Mineral - ~200Rs).
I have listed them in the order of their quality, choose one from the list

When you check the oil level park the bike in a level place, shut the engine and leave the bike for 2 mins, then check the level.

+1
Drain the oil when the engine is hot and change the oil filter without fail.
