yup,that is what i said,we can identify the change anyways.thx for the info

bytheway,these sealants;where are they available? and what is the cost involved?

"Anabond" is available on auto parts shop and fevibond on stationary(i guess).
Both of them will cost around 20-50rs(didnot remembered the price). and will be enough for lasting untill its expiry(2-3 years i think) if your use is only at services.

No friend, he is currently the only dealer in Chandigarh, Mani Majra and his stock is fresh. I once tried 300 V about 16-17 months ago and I bought a can for Rs 650!

I guess there is a difference.

Hmm then thier must be some difference, if you get to know then do please update us here.

I have decided to go for Castrol Power 1 for my Suzuki GS150R (4200km on the ODO)... Even my service center guy gave a nod for it.

The recommended oil for my bike is 20w40... I noticed that power 1 is 15w40... Is there anything wrong in going for power 1?

Thanks in advance

P.S - Initially I was running on Castrol Activ (Stock oil used in Suzuki SC)

Nothing wrong I am using it now 2000km completed(odo 6500km),Heat is reduced some what, and getting more smooth.

Well u fully rip your bike it will last 5000 km dude isn't it great

5000kms on Semi Synthetic is little too much, If you rip your bike then it will be too too much..

My 300V FL Fully synthetic lasted 6k kms & for Semi synthetic anything between 3-3.5k max, 4k if it can run anything more than that will be an Overkill for engine.

No problem you can go ahead with it, it can work very well in both hot & cold Climates.

Hay akfara and Bubbly

I’m too using Castrol Power 1 10w30 in my Hunk (7000km on the ODO). And I’m too running at 2000km sharp on the last oil. And its performing good and maybe the engine loose a little smoothness after 1500km. However I’m not feeling any significant changes becoze of the oil like engine heating up more, loosing the smoothness. But few peoples are saying that this oil makes the engine more harsh and heat up the engine more comparable to other oils like Gulf ect. Is it so? How you guys feeling? You guys ever tried any other oil like Gulf pride etc?

Which one you are going for? Motul or ?
whether it is available in cochin... In TVM it's not available, so i am using the Semi Syn of YamaLube 15W40... its quiet good for 3000 kms no probs at all, silky smooth engine and butter gearbox...
