Engine Oils

[madhav krishna]

Hi guys,i am going to service my activa tomorrow,11000kms on odo..Which engine oil should i put?
I don't want the honda engine oil as after riding it for some kms,the exhaust note sounds rough.

Try motul 3000 4t oil. Its a mineral oil for 200 bucks. Does its job pretty well.

Thanks for replying mate.Is motul available in 800ml or 900ml pack as activa requires only 800ml.!!

Am not sure if its available in 900ml pack. But you can store the rest oil for future uses like top up or for lubricating purposes. Just check with the dealer nearby.

I second that - motul 3000 4T plus 20w40 or gulf pride 4T 20w40 . Both comes in 1lit pack only around 220 Rs now .

Motul 7100 10W40 vs Motul 300V 10W40

Hi,

Could anyone let me know the difference between Motul FS 300V 10W40 and Motul FS 7100 10W40. Both are semi synthetic and of same rating. 7100 10W40 is cheaper though. Also, which one of these would be better for R15

Motul FS 300V is double ester while Motul FS 7100 is single ester. Both are Full synthetic oils. Going by the name and previous experience with 300V I will advise you the to use the same!!!

Thanks for the info. I ve also used Motul 300V 10W40. Just wanted to know user experience of 7100 10W40. What's the drain period of 7100?

Hi guys,
On my 1st service of the Hyo GT650R,the service guy put Total Quartz 7000 which is a semi-synthetic 10W40 grade oil.For the 2nd service considering to go in for Motul brand.
Which one should I consider Motul 5100 or Motul 300V.
Guys please suggest.

[shadez]

why not the 7100 Melroy? isnt single ester enough? and it is priced good. else 300V.
sticking to the 10w40 spec i guess...

[amitmalve]

Hi Guys,

Today a friend of mine took his brand new P220S for 1st servicing & the svc guy poured Castrol Activ Xtra 20w50 which is a semi synthetic oil. I know one should use mineral oil till 1st 3kms but I don't think he will drain this new oil. So will he gonna face any major issues in long run???

I dont think activ xtra is real semi-synth it contains less then 5% synthetic molecules, so it wont do any bad.
Other members can correct me if wrong..
