    already started. Gladly.... . When i was initially in engine oil (used to follow up daily) there was one incident one guy used car oil for pulsar and was feeling bad about it.

      • Thanks Rajesh for coming up with the spreadsheet for the AGIP/Petronas.

        I would be interested in both however, would like to try AGIP 5w40 first.

              Aargee...Man, The Shell guyz told me the same numbers
              You can try out Advance Ultra...650 bucks, gud one
              I have very bitter experience with Helix Ultra 5W40 in my ZMA, I checked after 1500 kms and less than 850ml was there in my engine
              Sorry for going OT but I wud mention...The suffering started from the very first day
              They broke my oil drainage valve while changing the oil...I scared them showing my Shell ID ...told I will eat their Job and they fixed a new one and a complimentary polish

              Anyway Sriram is using Helix Ultra in his Uni and he z satisfied

              • Work has got the better of me this week and wanted to have a small drive from home. The only fun Ive had this week was riding down from office to mount road back home in Rains, it that qualifies as fun for many of you guys

                Ive gained some wet tarmac experience now. the stretch from Anna flyover till Savera is being relaid(scraped off and relaid) and i would heavily suggest guys to avoid this route, but its taught me how to handle fishtailing but at the expense of a some adrenaline being wasted, but I guess the learning curve is never too steep

                About the engine oil, I'm indecisive about AGIP and Petronas. Maybe Ill buy 2 petronas and one AGIP provided the costs can be worked out. Otherwise Im pretty satisfied with power One.

                  • Right from last friday night, after picking up dev, i clocked 994 Kms so far. The SVC guys are going to screw my warranty in the most royal manner if dont get it serviced by the coming week. I lied that Im riding down to Mumbai to get the spare cables

                    @ amit: at the Price of petrol these days, I dont think the ZMA is a good option man Get a M80 or a Splendor instead... :P

                        • Whoa!!! Guys Amit & Raghav - think about me!!! 350 Kms a week & 1400 Kms a month & that's only office trips Console yourselves guys!!!

                          @Amit - Thanks for the heads up on 5W-40; I guess I'll go with what you say, atleast to begin with. I'll start with the advance before moving to Ultra as Ultra is way to expensive than Motul or any other brand I heard.
