I used both castrol pwr 1 and motul on my GS150R
my bike doesnt goes well with castrol pwr 1 after 750 kms.
but with the motul mineral (i-e Motul 3000 4T Plus 20W40 it goes well for 2500 and i changed it due to other reasons i felt it ill even go for another 500 kms

dont use the 900 ml packs always go for 1 ltr

By the way my friend is using pulsar 150 bought an year back he switched from castrol pwr 1 to shell VSX its tooo smooth

so my first recomendation is SHELL VSX Fully synthetic
or Motul 300V FS [fully synthetic ]

if the above arent gettable try someother good fully synthetic
even all are not possible go for Motul 3000 4T Plus 20W40

Yes the Bajaj 10k is HP re-branded oil.
The price of Valvoline 4t premium is something around 300/ltr.

The shell VSX is a semi synthetic & costs less than 300.

Well i think you have got mistaken somewhere. I have suggested castrol activ to some other guy. Read properly & you will understand my meaning.

A lil correction. The shell VSX is a semi synthetic oil. The shell advance ultra is a synthetic one.

Is 15W50 oil thick then 20W50 (both semi synthetic)

Have used castrol power 1, followed by shell vsx semi synth and now shell ultra fully synth on my GSR.

castrol power1 - lowsy oil. lasts hardly 750-1000kms. best to avoid.
shell vsx - very good in its category. engine is vibe free, and gears also smooth. lasts about 2000kms at least
shell ultra - excellent FS oil. Engine is vibe free and gearshifts just like butter. have been using for last 5.5k kms and it is still going strong. company recommended drain interval is 9000kms. At INR 750, i say its great VFM

My P220 engine heats up despite its oil cooler more than my HH Karizma. So I decided to get an engine oil additive that can keep the engine cool. Saw the EZI ExtraPower Lube at an exhibition sometime ago and was mighty impressed by the demo. Got 80ml to be added with around 1ltr of engine oil. Can feel a slight difference in the performance and the engine heats much lesser now.

Both are equally good oils. Go for the one which is available readily & cheap.

AFAIK valvoline suits the pulsar breed very well. It works without any problems in the bike.
