Hey guys, I am planning to get the Petronas Sprinta 4T 5000 full synthetic oil for my R15. When i went to the dealer this morning, the can he should me had April 08 as its manufacturing date. So I wanted to know if I should go ahead and purchase the can despite the fact that it more than an year old. Will this affect have any effect on the quality and durability of the oil?
Thanks.Watch my Baby R1 clock 148kmph at http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=cAHbYl...e=channel_page.

If oil is stored correctly (Sealed container, dry, dark place, room temp., etc), then 4 years is generally the accepted shelf life. Consider the manufacturing date only... not the import date. Personally, I'm not comfy about buying a can that old... about a year or two at the max is ok. The storage conditions are v important. For eg. I'v seen Shell bunks here store all their oil cans on shelfs out in the open.Originally posted by SAGARR_46 View PostHey guys, I am planning to get the Petronas Sprinta 4T 5000 full synthetic oil for my R15.

They have obviously done that to improve visibility of their products, but most of the cans are open to sunlight, heat, rain, etc. Not a good idea to buy such stuff.

Can anybody tell me a good 10w30 for my zma-r? Or is it ok to stick to the HH oil?
PS- i have done around 61XX kms till date. Need it for my forth service.
Thanks in advance!
