    • guys a general question does change the engine oil to fully snythetic increase the top speed of my bike..

      also is that true that once in a while you may put the 2t oil along with petrol in order to clean the carbon inside the engine.. if no is that harmfull..

      • Please suggest engine oil for pulsar 150cc

        Hi Friends,
        i am having pulsar 150cc i have crossed more than 70,000kms.I have changed the head and the piston recently .Now i am having a mineral oil.
        I want to switch to an engine oil for long run as mineral oil lasts only for 2k to 2.5 k kms .
        so please suggest me a good engine oil for my bike.

          Do you want a oil that lasts longer or do you want a oil that makes your engine last longer

          As you changed the head and piston recently please stick to mineral oil, 2 or 3 k is the best maximum period for your bike to go with one oil so suggesting you to stick to mineral and do try motul mineral or gulf if you need smoothness but change oil either at 2 or 3 k or if the oil needs to be changed

          even if the oil lasts 10000 kms its not good for the bike

            On an average per day i go around 50 to 60 and weekends more than that .So if go i still use mineral oil then it wont last more than 20 to 25 days .So i am asking you for suggestion.
            I want an engine oil that makes the engine run smooth and also last long also if you can then please specify the price and the kms it goes on.

            • bro, keep an eye on engine oil level, check oil level every 3-4 days and do servicing with oil change every 1.5 months (45 days)...

              that will keep your bike and eventually you ..........happy.

              55 kms per day = 55 x 45=2475 kms in 45 days or

              3300 kms in 60 days....

              so your idle oil change interval is between 45 to 60 days.

              you should do oil change between 2000 to 3000 kms ideally, a few 100 kms here and there should be ok, but don't stretch it too far.

                      please don't use bold letters.........it comes under bad manners..........people will answer your questions even if you don't write in bold.

                      you can use 15w50 in place of 20w50. no problem with that.

                      regarding oil change interval read my post just above yours, it applies to P180 also.

                      regarding quantity---i think it should be 1000 ml only, read your manual and follow. i have a p150. i think it should be same i.e. 1ltr. but read and follow your manual.

                      normally we put more oil when engine is opened because oil left in cylinder head is drained. otherwise no need.

                            Here is a link to Motul oil which is a good oil to be considered. It is slightly more expensive than others, but users have found it to be above average .

                            • Hi guys well I am started putting this on my bike from now onwards. Well when I went to get it changed at the time when the mechanic took out the oil well i saw it was jet black in color and i was remembering it when I got it changed well i had only done 200 km on it.
                              To my surprice the volvoline engine oil which the company is giving for our pulsar 180 ug4 it is not a 20w50 grade it is 20w40 for sure.

                              well earlier when I was putting it my bike was getting heated alot and now after changing it, the bike is in a relax condition.
                              I am happy good one elf. Good going.
