[udayrrr]

@speed deamon castrol marketing is a bit deceiving and their caption too its not liquid engineering its purely market engineering
till u want to go for it u can but remember their oils are average and will not last say 1500-1800km max from there on u can fell the pain as u have one of most refined engine
one question what oil is used in u r suzuki sc

[rajshah]

I just learnt that my mechanic put Castrol Power1 4T SAE 15w40 in my P200 while service yesterday.
Is that oil ok for a P200 ?
Or should I drain it and put the 20w50 grade oil ?

[sudhanshu_gore]

Firstly dont go for Castrol Activ. Secondly whatever you use,make sure it's XXW40 and not XXW50 grade. For the Gladiator, XXW50 grade isnt recommended. Atleast not from my side. I tried Motul 5100 15W50 as an experiment and though it lessened out the vibrations and increased the mileage, the acceleration went down since the oil is thicker than recommended.
XXW50 grade oil would do all right in the R15 but not the Gladiator since the latter's engine runs cooler.

hi ravi ,

i am agree with your opinion.that one should stick to OEM recommanded grade of engine oil. xxW40 grade is the worth acceptable because XXw50 grade oil will be thick even at high tempratures. but can one plz suggest some good brand of oils. what effect will be on the engine & bike's overall performance if one shift to 15w40 or 10w40 grade oil.
plz reply.
also thanks to senior members to ans my previous query.

If you ask me dont rip your bike & keep it below Red line, use the oil for atleast 1k or 1.5k kms & then change to W50 Grade

[krishnan6015]

As said by Abhilash.. Dont rip the bike. Since the grade is 15w40 which you have now.It will not stick to the engine components when the engine temperature exceeds 100 degrees and it might damage your engine components. If possible change the engine oil as soon as possible.

Thanks a ton bro...
This one lives 1-2 kms from my house so would be damn easy to procure from him. If he does sell the Motul products then home delivery isnt a bother, can personally go and pick it up.
Can i ask from where you got this info about distributors?

And whats the cost of Motul 5100? Its around 300 for 1 litre right and its 15W50 grade oil.

1st service and your going for motul...not at all recommended my friend. Why not use the default oil by PBK MAK 20w50 is quite good till the engine run in is complete, you got a pm for further details.

Also, there are relatively few distributors all over Delhi, so you may not find the dealer in the place of your preference. You will have to go to the nearby shops in order to procure the product.

Thanks for giving the exact rate.
1150 ml is what the bike requires. My mechanic poured in 1200 ml for oil change and the oil level shot past the middle level.

Sent a VM. If they put in the oil from drums then i know what they are putting in. Have had a bad exp with my car when i came to know the truth of those barrel oils. Carry my own engine oil ever since.
Also, the mineral oil will fall short of its life before the service time arrives under hard ripping.

Well this information was on xBhp long back. Dont know if the thread is still there. I save a copy of such informative posts everytime i come across them for future reference.

Even i say its too early to shift to semi-synthetic. Its better to buy Motul mineral oil 3100 4T and use it till 2nd service. U can flush twice. Once at the immediate next service and another after completing around 700 kms and then shift to motul semi synthetic during 2nd service. It costs around 190rs per litre if iam not wrong. U can use the left out oil for general lubrication like chain etc.

Alright. Thanks for your inputs guys.
Will change the oil in a few days and won't rip until then.
