    apparently the prices have been raised...the dealer here was telling me... i am using it right now in my efi.... if i find the performance acceptable then i will buy stock a couple more..

    • Good News for P150/RTR/ZMA/R15 Bike owners and other 20W40 engine oiled bikes.

      Motul now has a a 5W40 300V Factory Line Fully Synthetic oil for sale. Its costs the same as the 15W50 300V can.

      Atleast this is true for Bangalore, I am not sure if Motul dealers across the country have this oil now.

      The Motul 5100T Semi-Synth is single ester, you can use that! I got no leaking issues with that!

              Am already using it on my RTR for a while now... its damn good! however it costs about 650 ~ 850 bucks...
              Also I am not happy with its performance for longish 3+ hour rides....

                • does the engine need to be flushed if changing from mineral to semi-synth or fully synth?

                  • Nope. Just open the oil - nut and wait for a good 10 - 15 mins, till the oil drips off. Then close the nut and pour-in ur preferred oil!

                      Extremely important bit of info there bro..
                      Thanks..!!
                      Will be visiting them at the earliest..
                      Anyone been there recently..?
                      Wanted to know if they're stocking the 30004T 20W40 stuff.. Most probably will be buying the Veedol product recommended by Praful and also the Motul 30004T which comes highly recommended by so many..!!

                      • Gulf Pride 4T Plus 20w40
                        Synthetic Blend

                        MRP: Rs 160 - 900ml
                        Got it for Rs 120 from Metro

                        Bike: TVS Victor GX 110
                        Used from 48000 kms to 52000 kms

                        Drained as I have got the engine opened.

                        The oil was still great when drained... didn't loose viscosity or color.

                        The bike was comparatively very smooth and the gear shift at its best.

                        5* recommendation.... The mechanic was stunned and started inquiring where he can get a barrel for his garage.

                        Lovely Oil at great price.

                        The 20w40 oil is in a black bottle with gold colour letters. There's a 10w30 also in this range that costs Rs 10 extra and comes with green color label on a silverish bottle. Should be as good or better.

                                Castrol Racing Power 10W40. It worked brilliantly in a long ride of 700 km in 14 hours.
