Engine Oils

[dude_phenom]

Don't try bro if you are interested in using it...
consequences:
1>Heavy oil
2>Oil pump will be killed
3>Oil will eat Gasket
3>Bike will not revv freely which means,we will feel Bike is very smooth which not its opposite bike will be crying and abusing you and saying why only me...
4>Clutch set will be gone.
and many more
so all in all main point is number 5

5>Slow poison for your beloved Bebe....
like cancer.

O.T: abhichotu.abhi HEHEHEHEHE lets try W120....

Oh man. Now I know what happened to my friend's TVS star city. During one service the SVC guy told he'll put in some "special" oil in the engine so that it will become smooth. And then couple of weeks later engine kind of became jerky and then stopped. Upon inspection we find that cylinders are scratched bad, pistons are screwed. So is the cam. He had to replace all of those. But did it at a local lathe shop. Cost him 12k. For a bike that costs 40k, 12k is a lot. So dont try any "special" oil guys. Stick to the prescribed grades.

12,000Rs for Star City Overhauling...damn that mechanic charge lot,
few months back I changed Apache 180 crank,piston & rings for 6000 something Rs on a local mechanic shop.One can easily get a Pulsar 200 engine for 10,000Rs

Why did you let the local mechanic's work on bike's engine?

The bike is under warranty.Make the most use out of it.

Bike was not under warranty and that mechanic was very reputed sports bike mechanic he has his own workshop chain in NCR.

I think you are mis-informed.

Not a single RTR 180 in the country has crossed the warranty period as of now.

First off, where do you get it in Kerala? IMO shell will anyday be better...

[tejasmph]

Yamalube is good enough
Yamalube aka Motul 5100 SS oil but your bike is only 2500kms old wait till 3500 to 4000kms to use FS oil 300v

Use Motul 5100 semi synthetic oil or Valvoline Premium 20w50 oil. These both are best oils in the 20w50 category available in India for wet clutch bikes.

Guyz, its time to change oil for my 3500km old dazzler. How far is this oil good?

Shell Advance VSX4 10W-40. It costs 285 bucks. Is it worth it?

Gulf Pride 4t Plus not available?

Hey guys,

Its time to change the oil in my Activa. Was hunting for my favourite Gulf Pride 4t Plus 20w40 but none of the oil shops in my vicinity had any. All gave me this answer that 20w40 comes in Pride 4T and not in 4T Plus. I have attached the pics of the new can type look of the oil. Bangalore guys, please let me if 4T Plus is available here or not.
