any good synthetic oil for 220 dtsi ? other than motul as it is not available in 15w50 grade now.
Even semi-sythetic oil which has drain interval for atleast 4k.

[udayrrr]

300V is still very much available in 15w50 . In fact, 15w50 brings Motul better business than 5W40.

So this thread lately

hi,
i have apache rtr 180....completed 1500kms.....changed oil at 650km to TVS Tru4 as it was recommended....but i am not satisfied with it in high rpm range....its still not free beyond 7.5k rpm....so please advice me any other engine oil....price doesn,t matter....just want smooth ride at high rpm and better heat dissipation....its recommended oil grade is 20w40.....and also specify when to change.....my usage is daily 40km of ride.....like to drive in high rpms.....40% traffic and 60% open roads....thanks

Exactly My Issue.Guys ,Which Mineral Oil is Recommended?My RTR180 is Nearing 1500kms and I have to change oil ,since TRU4 seems not as worth.While ,I need a Mineral Oil to Complete the Running-in as well(Till 3000-3500kms).I Knew of Valvoliner 4T Champion Oil.But it seems to be semi-synthetic?
Please Pour Your Recommendations for 20W40 Mineral Oil ?Another Doubt is How can I know Whether the brand is Mineral Oil or Not?
Regards,
Prakash

Motul 30004T is hard to source in 20W50 avtar. U can use Castrol Activ 4T 20W50 instead. Not much options when u need a mineral 20W50.

I got 3 bottles of 3000 4T in 15w50.

Now you know why its difficult to source .

[Raccoon]

are you sure ???? it has a claimed 10000kms drain interval so it must be synth

Unfortunately, Gulf is not being very forthright in declaring the drain period clearly. The 10,000 km drain period is supposed to be for "ideal" usage, and not "normal" usage. For "normal" usage, which is true for most of us, the oil is ment to last around 5 - 6 k km. For severe usage say about 4 k km. Don't use it for anywhere close to 10 k km unless you always drive at a constant speed of around 50 - 60 kmph on a highway with no frequent stops/idling/etc.

Motul 20W50 is easily available here. If not easy to get, you can always contact Motul. Also, as I mentioned before, Gulf now seems to have a 20W50 oil in its kitty. It will probably be better than Motul. If not available, contact Gulf. They are also very responsive.
