You are asking the grade 20-w50 for which bike???

[kasperrmat]

pulsar 180

[Eshan-P180]

pulsar 180

I suggest Motul brand is one of the preferred since our 180 engines heats up pretty fast!!!!

[kasperrmat]

up to how many kms will the motul 20w50 viscosity is held(engine will be smooth without hard gear shifts and harsh engine sound) any idea about its price.

DO you have any used experience with it?

What about veedol turbo and gulf 20w50?

No idea about veedol or gulf
The expereince is good till date with motul...i drain oil usually around 2500kms...
be it synthetic or semi....i drain it after 2500 to 3000 km period...

Actually i am running on castrol 20w50.complted just 1000km on it and the engine is feeling harsh than earlier and the gear shifts are hard...so my question is is it the time to change or continue with it till 2000kms....

i say change it because you are already feeling the harsh gear changes!!!

[kasperrmat]

will motul 20w50 sustain more than 2000 km smooth ride or will show the harsh engine and gears shifts at 1000km itself?

see, there r four suitable products from motul for P180

1. Motul 3000 20W50 - Mineral - around 300/- - lasts for 1.5k to 2k kms
2. Motul 5100 15W50 - Semi Synthetic - around 500/- to 600/- - lasts around 3k kms
3. Motul 7100 20W50 - Fully Synthetic - around 700/- - dont know its performance
4. Motul 300V 15W50 - Fully Synthetic - around 900/- - lasts more than 5k kms

prices for 1, 2, 3 are not exact. for 4 its correct, coz i m using it currently
u choose as per ur requirement.

pls give more details of oil. grade?? ss or fs?? cost?? overall experience??

Petronas Sprinta 5000 4T is Fully Synthetic 10w40. I can never remember exact price of stuffs I buy, anyway its around 475/-. The first time I did about 2k. Early change to rid of previous oil. This is my second bottle. Done about 3k so far. Gear becoming hard now, though engine is still running smooth. Maybe time to change. Already got another bottle in stock. Very good on engine. Not very good on Gear. To sum up, for the price, it beats other FS oil.

Decided to stick to Petronas until something makes changes my mind.
Have used the following oil in this order. Top being most recent.
Patronas Sprinta 5000 FS (Good)
Motul 300v FS (v Good)
CP1R FS (V Good)
CP1 (so and so)
Castorl Activ 4T (so and so)
HH Oil (so and so)
