Engine Oils

yamaha oil

+1 to what Kayn said.

For that matter, I did not feel ANY difference in my R15 with fully syhthetic oil. But then, when I had to shift back to mineral once, I felt a handsome amount of difference that shows that my bike was running better with the synthetics. I would vote for the AGIP oil u are using instead of the CP1R. See for some more time. BTW, what's the price you paid for the oil?

I use Petronas Sprinta 4T 5000 Fully Synthetic. Getting it shipped here from Mumbai so far.

i have been sticked to the Yamaha semi synthetic prior to that i was using Motul 300v, its a good but being thinner the engine was a bit quite crispy and some what noisy.

Don't waste your money on Castrol Power 1 Racing. You get a much better product in Motul 300V FL 5W40 for about the same price. In Bangalore you even get AGIP Fully Synth for about 650 or less. That too is worth it.

Brother kindly note that Motul 300V is not a 5W40 but its 15 w 50

300V is available in 5W40, 10W40 formats as well. So is 5100 SS

I am tired of searching around for the Motul 5100/300v in 10w40 variants. The dealers are completely unaware of it. They say only 15W50 is the grade which is available, may be Motul hasn't launched the product across thec country.

Local mechs have told me that its used in some construction process. Construction people come by to collect the used engine oil from garages. I've found no other way to dispose it.

15W50 is too much.... I use 300V 5W40 on my friend's DIO and its performing admirably well!!

Motul 300V 5W40 and 10W40 - both are available dude.

What you guys will suggest for my GS 150 R ... Semi synthetic or fully synthetic ?

and Which brand ? i clocked arnd 3k.. so when to go for semi or full synthetic ?

Suzuki recommends the following in order (my Manual says)

1. 20W40
2. 15w40 15w50
3. 10w40 10w50
4. 10w30

^^^ that's not the way to read the chart in the manual. Anyway, you stick to 20W40 or 10W40 for the GS. Semi Synth - Gulf Pride is a good option. Synth - Motul, Petronas and AGIP options should be available for you. Check with other guys in Chennai about the availability.

Cherry Agencies on JC road is ripping people off by selling Motul 300V at INR 895. The same oil is available at Motorcycle House( in the lane off SBI JC road) for INR 750. So, xbhpians buying Motul may choose to head to Motorcycle House as the savings are considerable.

Cheers,
