    where do you stay in andhra pradesh, if you are in hyderabad check with few shops in ram koti. if not, there is a castrol dealer 'Nuzen Lubircants' in Mehdipatnam,Hyderabad..he does have castrol power 1 racing 4T engine oil cans..I generally source from there..
    I am from Guntur. My friend who lives in Hyderabad found Motul300v 10w40 in Raj Automobiles, Ramkoti(Found this in Motul Distributors List page). They gave discount of only Rs.30 where as in Vijayawada I got Rs.95 discount for Motul 300v 15w50. But I need 10w40 for my Unicorn. Told my friend to send me the oil via APSRTC. I am currently using CP1R4t so thought of trying Motul this time.

    Thank you for the reply.

    • Changed to Motul 300v 10w40 on my Unicorn.
      Definitely not satisfied with Motul. Engine feels smooth only for first few kilometers of riding, after the engine gets hotter all the smoothness is gone.
      Only good thing is gear change has become smooth. No good for engine observed. My 7200km old Castrol Power 1 Racing 4T+30ml Nulon engine treatment felt damn smooth and free revving. Total dissatisfaction.

                        • Confused on this 2T oil

                          After several years, I bought a 2T oil sachet from IOC pump; it was certainly not for using it on Rx, but to measure the quantity. However, the point to discuss here is not about quantity, the sachet said it was an engine oil, but how come it is being used to mix with petrol? I don't know. Any experts opinion pls? Tks.

                              • I changed my bike's oil for the very first time to Motul 20W50 in my Suzuki GS150R since the motul representative suggested 20W50 during winters. Now that its time for a topup and its scorching summer, does someone recommend me something other than Motul for my bike or Motul 20W40 is Ok?

                                And then I had used Mineral oil, should I now use Synthetic or Mineral? Bike has reached 3.5K !
