Engine Oils

[Devilpulsarian]

I always used castrol active 4t for my bike since inception and power 1 a few times...


This time i tried veedol super swift semi synthetic (its 10 w 40, i suppose)

Since than i just have one word for it....AWESOME.....

lovely bike response and costs 270 rs fr 1 ltr can...


my bike has already done more than 5k kms on that and still it is running butter smooooth and i suppose i can run it for another 1k kms...

I have already purchased petronas sprinta fully synthetic which i will be using this time on my bike/s

PS. i have a dtsi ug2 pulsar 150 and a classic 150 pulsar

Well ppl like me who had a fuss abt which is the best oil around for the R-15, The Yamaha ppl have come up with (or rather they reintroduced at there service centers ) the 3 kinda engine oils . Firstly is the 20/40 which had been aroud for quite a while around, which is the basic one costs 140INR ( here in nagpur,maharashtra). secondly is the SP grade oil costs somewhere between 200-300INR and the third is the semi-synthetic 15\50w SL grade which is for 425 INR which is best for R-15 as recommended by yamaha ppl they even claimed that they prefer the same oil for the mighty R1(well m sceptical about it for now!!) sorry for meager input for the moment its just that m having my final year exams and i just made it to my 4th servicing @7k kms , had to post some pics too but curse my exams for that ,its just that i wanted to help other guys if they are confused a bit like me a while before. SO GO FOR YAMAHA LUBE SL 15/50W SEMI-SYNTHETIC ask the yamaha guys they shal provide you the same. Over here in Nagpur they also provide ad oil addetive from BARDAL, shall update about it later,,,

I am using this oil on my R15 since the past few months. I have already posted pics of the can. Please look back a few pages.

Dude.. where are you from. I am trying to find a dealer for this oil in Blore, no success yet. Its the best VFM engine oil I have tried for my RTR.

Thats ok buddy, looking forward to get your inputs on the additive. Is it a petrol additive or engine oil additive?

Yes!! Veedol Super Swift is a very good engine oil. I have used it twice in my Zma. Felt better. Could not source the oil after that in Hyderabad.

Yes! It was recommended for my Fiero F2 too. I couldn't find it&luckily our Hyd Petronas dealer (KP) came to the rescue at the right time!

can anyone tell me whats the engine oil grade for LML freedom.a friend of mine has it...

i own apache RTR FI...what engine oil should be ideally used ....

both bikes need 20W40 oil. Please check this thread for a lot of recommendations on 20W40 & 10W40 oils...

I am in Pune....!

I will try sprinta fully synthetic this time, but i seriosly doubt it can perform better than veedol super swift even being fully synthetic....

Boric Acid

I have read at so many places about good effects of adding boric acid in petrol and also in engine oil.

Read the following links....

My take: today's engine oils are very good - very slippery and take higher temperatures pretty well compared to what we had about five years back.

And, if improving the engine oil's effectiveness is so easy and cheap, they'd have done that long back.

My suggestion: don't try that. get a better engine oil and/or change engine oil more frequently than you now do.

PS: I am yet to open the links you have given.

@ Aryan: this topic shud not be merged with engine oils, i want to discuss additives not only for engine oil but also for petrol.
