I have a Pulsar 180 UG3. Recommended grade is 20w50. Have previously used only usual Castrol Active filled in by service guys. They use normal mineral oil.Originally posted by nageswer View Post@Kalsi....could you please let me know what is your bike?What is its recommended grade oil?

Areas of improvements are smoother engine, more free revving, pickup slightly improved. Only grouse is that gear shifting has not improved much.If you ride like there's no tomorrow, there won't be.

Urgent requesting help
The Amaron retailer selling lubricants sold me this Castrol CRB for my RX engine oil. I'm little skeptical using this as it says, its for Diesel engine & no where 2 stroke is mentioned. Can I use this on my RX for engine oil? Not for premix or mixing with petrol.
I cross verified with another lubricants dealer & he was trying to sell Helix that also mentioned that it was Diesel engine oil (Same as Castrol CRB)
However both of them are 20W-40. Can someone pls help me on this? I'm planning to change my engine oil this afternoon. Thanks.Last edited by aargee; 06-12-2010, 01:27 PM.Skill is what keeps you on a Motorcycle

It clearly says Diesel engine and for LCV vehicles

so don't use it
some retailers never says No instead they will make you suffer by providing some other product that looks similar
just return itSarcasm is my automatic response to stupidity

the one you specified oil grade is API CR-4 clearly for diesel ones
i think due to non availability or any thing these diesel oils are specified to u and others also.

How to identify petrol or diesel engine oil grades
Every lubricant has some viscosity grade starting with API. If it starts with "S" then its a petrol engine oil anf if starts with "C" THEN ITS DIESEL ENGINE OIL. For example an engine oil has API-SG/SJ/SL/SM ETC... THEN IT IS PETROL ENGINE OIL. API CC/CD/CF/CF4/CH4/CJ4/CI4 ETC... ALL ARE DIESEL ENGINE OIL.

Open Motul 5100 available
Tell me if anyone is interested in an opened Motul 5100 SS.
I recently changed to Motul 5100 and got two cans for the same for my 220. I have one can left with slightly more than 700ml of oil left in it.
Current price for a 1000ml can of Motul 5100 is Rs 450.
If anyone is interested in the oil, you can take it from me at 250Rs which is lesser than the cost of 600ml of oil.
It could be useful for people who use 'sometimes-not-readily-available' Motul 5100 as their default oil.
