      yes you can very good oil but W50 its bit heavy for 150cc if you use your bike for long rides then its good for your ride if not then go for W40 oil

          NO.
          you should wait at least 3000km to pour in semi synthetic(eg: motul 5100) and you are talking about pouring in fully synthetic on your first service?
          stick with mineral oil.

                No please dont use 300V that early...let the bike run on normal dino oil for say 5000kms then you can switch to 300V (awesome oil ).

                          use either one of the following oil

                          Motul 3000T 20w-40
                          Gulf oil in 20w - 40 range
                          else any good brand with 20w-40 rating

                            I will try veedol since i am interested in switching from mineral. I hope its better than Motul 3000+ Mineral oil..

                                yes the grade 20W40 is enough for most of the 150cc bikes. The honda oil they put in the bike is not satisfactory. Why dont you try veedol, shell VSX or agip??
