    I know bro used the 5W 40 300v for close to 8000Kms but the 10W 300v lasts much longer.Even the semi 10W 40 motul lasts more than the 5W 300v(one online site that was selling the oil states strict oil change interval of 3000kms) i change it every 4000kms.Moreover the semi costs only 400 bucks.

    • Hello Fellas,
      I have just Received 300 V 10W 40 for my Thunderbird it took me couple of weeks to hunt it down and there is a shortage of this oil in mumbai, don't know why ? Initially I was looking for 300V 5W 40 but i came to know that i have to wait for a month to get it delivered and that was also not 100% sure so i have to settle with 10W40 as of now.

      • Hi guys,

        Just want to review Motul Mineral Oil i have been using it since last 1.7k kms and its still smooth and better heat protection against yamalube so +1 to motul. Nice oil and it will at least last few more kms.

          Why 5w40?.....10w40 can do the job efficiently in Indian weather.

          in delhi they are readily available on the shelves. Should I give you number of the importers of motul?....maybe they might help you.

            I knew it mr joseph was lying through the teeth, he even talked to someone in bombay and said "motul india never imported semi in 10w 40 version EVER", he told me the 50 grade motul 300v will be perfect for my xtreme .I am fed up with this guy please give the no. i will talk to them i need at least 3 cans immediately.

                    After talking to Mr joseph I went straight away to goodwill agency(opposite to chief minister's house) he too did not have 10W 40 motul not even the mineral version.He talked to joseph in front of me about the semi 10w 40 even then mr joseph was saying it was not available in india anywhere .Goodwill agencies is also the distributor of NGK so i bought a G-power plug for Rs200 instead of motul and came back home.

                      • help guys

                        hi guys . im really pissed with the crappy oil they have given frm the svc at first service..have decided of chaging it.
                        i went arnd whole of karol bagh & okhla (auto hubs in delhi) lookin for a 20w50 oil..
                        NOT ONE ! strangely not one shop could cater to me :O all of them had either 20w40 oils or gtx/gulf car oils with rating 20w50 which they were tryn to push sell to me.. i wonder what the innumerable pulsar owners i see on the road have been using all these days.. how can there be no demand for a 20w50 mineral oil when there are so many pulsars on road??
                        if all of the owners have been using wrong oil all these years, no wonder pulsars need engine work done on them pretty early.. Cant blame bajaj completely for that..
                        please guys, tell me where can i get hold of some good e.oil in delhi?
                        i want to change tomorrow.
                        thank you in advance

                          Actually 20w50 is not so popular brand. Only Valvoline is readily available and that is what SVC guys fill your machine with. You can change to Motul 5100 15W50 or 300v FS 15w50.....If you want motul then call Mr. Ashish whose number is there few posts back, and I'll recommend you 300v.

                              Well the sooner you change to FS the better it is. You can change to SS if it seems skeptic to you. Mr. Ashish is stockist of Motul in Delhi. You can call him and he will help you to find the shop near you or even may deliver it to you.

                                Dude, Why dont you stick to Service centre oil atleast for 2 services or 2000km.If you want to really change , Castrol is available at that rating 20W50(ACTIV XTRA - 20W-50 Mineral oil).
