Used this my R15M after using motul 7100 for 2k kms As you said shifting from 1st to 2nd is butter smooth otherwise overall performance is almost similar to motul 7100,coolant temperatures remain at constant levels and performance is also same.
If anyone owns a CBR 150R/250R please use the Honda Throttle engine oil which is 10w30 grade oil, it performs better than other engine oils especially 10w40. Because CBR engines are designed to run thinner oils hence performance is better with 10w30 and engine feels more relaxed and revs freely, sharing my personal experience here. Honda Throttle is the best option 👌
@@thesportztourer No need to say thanks dude 🙏🏼 I used the Shell Advance Ultra 10w40 on my CBR 150R and rode around 500 kms but ended up shifting back to throttle engine oil as I could feel the resistance of the thicker oil and somehow bike was not freely revving, it was feeling more like a tourer engine oil. I was missing free nature of the engine and it was taking time to accelerate as well. The only advantage I felt was that the heating was less and somehow had a feeling that Shell will easily do more kms without any fuss. Due to thicker engine oil mileage was dropped by 1-2 kmpl. After putting the Honda Throttle engine oil I could immediately see the difference in performance and nature of the engine, it was like I can reach those higher speeds more effortlessly and someone like me who's mad about these things I could feel that less thicker oil was definitely making things better for the engine as resistance was less. Just wanted to share. 🙏🏼 I have seen all your videos and really appreciate your effort, keep making videos like this, there's hardly anyone else who makes this kind of quality content.
Namaste ! I bought a new HONDA CB125F and then changed from 10w30 to 10w40 Liqui Moly full synth. after 1000km. Crazy Bothi is right: The motor is revving better with the thinner 10w30. Greetings from Germany and ride safe !
❤️EAGERLY WAITING FOR A LAB TEST❤️ I have been using this super bike oil on my KTM RC 200 NEW MODEL 2022. Results were amazing, especially for highway rides with high revving all the time. Can u pls suggest me if should I follow the drain interval of 2500 kms for this oil for a better engine life rather than going with manufacturers 7500 kms drain interval?.. Considering the oil price at 1200 rs/litre
As far for indian weather and high temperature conditions, 15w50 or 20w50 should be recommended and used.. One should always remember every oil after few thousand miles of use loose its viscous tendency.. So slight thick oil will always protect your engine life..
Kindly try ZIC M9 10W40 or Shell Advance Ultra 10W40. Both these oils have a Viscosity Index of 163 whereas MOTUL 7100 10W40 has a viscosity index of 154. Heck, even the Castrol Power1 Ultimate 10W40 has a VI of 162! (Verified from the Technical data sheet on their respective official sites)
Thanks a lot for valuing the efforts ❤ Almost all the riding was done in peak summer and this time the heat wave also made its presence in Maharashtra where the temperatures frequently exceed 40°C.
Sir I have been driving a hornet 2.0 for the past 2 years. However, the stock Honda 5W30 engine oil lead to a jerky gearbox. So I shifted to 10W30 semsinthetic oil from motol. However, it led to extra vibration. Can you suggest a good engine oil?
Hi Kunal, As Firoz and Krishna suggested you can go with Shell Advance Ultra 10W-40 or Castrol Power1 ultimate in the same grade: amzn.to/2MfgoyY You can also try 100% synthetic engine oil from Honda (Throttle 10W-30)
I've been using fully synthetic engine oils since last 3 years after being frustrated with the yamalube for my fz- S 2.0 and in my latest service I used Castrol power 1 ultimate (bike) and till now I've ridden almost 500kms with this engine oil but I feel the engine isn't responding very well to this engine oil for some reason. Before I used shell advanced ultra and my engine ran smoothly and gave overall the best performance it could in city, highway and in gear shifts (3800kms). After that I used motul 7100 which gave good performance on highway as it made my engine rev happy and returned decent performance in city and gear shifts (3957kms). Mileage on these 2 engine oils were almost same. But now when I'm using Castrol I don't feel my engine is responding the same and I'm yet to do a mileage test. But the character of engine has definitely changed (not in a good way).
Please stay away from Castrol, maybe there are duplicates maybe geniune oils are not upto mark I have had very terrible and expensive experience with it multiple times, since then I use to stick with Shell semi
It's because the Power 1 Ultimate is a synthetic based engine oil, not fully synthetic, nowhere on the pack is it mentioned as fully synthetic and it's price is also low compared to other fully synthetic oils. And always buy lubricants from offline genuine retailers, not Amazon or Flipkart. Online retailers always give you duplicate products.
Avoid castrol bro I have had very bitter and expensive experience with castrol multiple times. Since then I use to stick with Shell semi or full synthetic, since then I have had no issues Try draining it before it wrecks more havoc in your engine While draining you can see lot of metal particles if you use a magnetic drain bolt, if that's the case, never go back to castrol

Bro at my Suzuki showroom that are telling me to change the engine oil every 4 months from service irrespective of the kilometres driven. Since it's been 4 months and I've done only 1500km, do you think I should change my engine oil since it's got a Suzuki ECSTAR fully synthetic engine oil.
during 1st service I have asked for the 5w40 bmw oil as the manual suggested and used it for a 1000km before changing to castrol 10w50 power 1 ultimate... I felt 5w40 bmw oil is slightly better
Hi! From 2019, I am researching about engine oils. Till now, I am still doing research (not dedicated, but whenever I become free). Now, for an running engine, below are the temperatures: Oil sump: 70C~80C Piston-Cylinder: 150C~180C (For track racing, upto 200C, but not considering that) So, the viscosity at those temperatures will also matter. Now, a manufacturer designs a oil for engine, also designs oil pump according to its viscosity index and viscosity at 70C-80C and 150C-180C. For example, 10w40 with VI 150. Now, if we use 15w40 with lower VI 135, then it will be thicker in the oil sump which will be great and create more oil pressure, but will be thinner in Piston-Cylinder (Compared to stock oil), which is not good and may cause wear and tear. Now, if we use 5w40 with higher VI 165, then it will be thinner in the oil sump which is not good and create low oil pressure (which is a major reason for wear and tear), but will be thicker in Piston-Cylinder (Compared to stock coil), which is slightly not good as it causes a slight power loss. Now, in extreme summer (45C), oil sump temperature increases, so, viscosity in oil sump also decreases and causes a slightly lower oil pressure and many people think that oil is becoming thin due to engine over heating (this thought may be wrong, although sometimes it is due to incomplete engine cooling also). Now many people suggest to increase the upper grade, like if stock oil is 10w40 then use 10w50, but using this increases viscosity at both, the Oil Sump and the Piston-Cylinder. But, I recommend to increase lower grade also, means 20w50 (over 10w40) now what will happen after using this? It will increase viscosity in oil sump even more than 10w50, but in Piston-Cylinder, the viscosity will be slightly increasing from 10w40 (more than 10w40 but less than 10w50), which will cause a lesser power loss than 10w50. So, if we compare the viscosities of 10w40, 10w50 and 20w50, below is the comparison: At 70C-80C: 10w40 < 10w50 < 20w50 At 150C-180C: 10w40 < 20w50 < 10w50 Increasing the viscosity at oil sump doesn't cause any harm but benificial due to increased oil pressure, but increasing the viscosity at Piston-Cylinder definitely causes loss (reduced fuel efficiency). So, increase the viscosity at oil sump as much as it is required, but increase the viscosity at Piston-Cylinder as least as possible. The same is applicable for other grades also (If 10w30 is stock oil then 20w40 can be used in summer instead of 10w40). Now what, if sotck oil itself has low VI? (like 20w40) In that case, strictly avoid using 10w50, can use 20w50 (still not recommended). Better to use 25w50 or 30w50, which is not possible. In this case, oil pump design is very obsolete as manufacturer designed the oil pump as per the old low VI oil. Final conclusion: If stock oil has some VI, we can use after market oil with higher grade and lower VI, but we can't use any oil with higher grade and higher VI, as the ratio of the viscosities (70C-80C to 150C-180C) will alter and may cause problem. Another option is to top up with higher grade and lower VI (if slight increment is required), but mixing engine oil with different brands is not recommended. [Note: It will be better if one can stick to the stock oil.]
Very well put together. This also explains why most local mechanics run on 20W-40 grade oil. Infact 20W-40 grade is amongst the most sold grade for motorcycle segment in India. I do have some more to add on the viscosity front which I will elaborate in the future videos. Its presence of well informed members like you that motivates me to go ahead and deep into these technical discussions 😊
@Chethan Correct! I own Platina 110 and it uses 20w30 oil (marketed as Bajaj Dtsi 10w30). Platina, CT, Pulsar, Avenger have older oil pump design whereas Dominar has modern oil pump design. Now I can't use any other after market engine oil in my platina otherwise loosing the fuel efficiency. To use high VI engine oil, oil pump must be designed to pump that oil which is relatively thinner in the oil sump. I am very lucky that I didn't used Motul 300v 5w30 on my platina. However, I own Jupiter 110 that uses TVS Tru4 Premium 10w30 with VI around 140~150. So, I decided to use Motul Scooter LE 10w30 with VI 134 (Good Case). After using that, I felt that for first 10-12 kms, it is quite silent similar to Activa (at least much silent than other Jupiters) and claimed Highway Only efficiency to around 64~65 kmpl (this is more than ARAI 62 kmpl). Now after 1500 kms, now I felt that during ride with pillon, the oil is not thick enough. So I drained some oil and added 50 ml Castrol Activ 20w40 (VI 109) and after 200 kms, when both oils got mixed, now the oil combination is performing well.
Interesting. I always thought mineral oil have higher kinematic viscosity at 100 degree in order to supplement/compensate the low VI, for engine oil interval purpose
I THINK IN NORTH INDIA WHERE IN WINTERS TEMPERATURE IN MORNING ARE BELOW 5C THE 10W50 WILL WORK WELL. ALSO I HAVE QUESTION THAT MOST HIGH VI OIL HAVE LOW FLASH POINT.
Please resolve this mystery!!! "For hotter countries, where the water never freezes by room temperature all through out the season of the year, Distilled water is a far better coolant than any manufactures' coolant." Does distilled water, have better heat transferring capability to the radiator?
Yes it does and the reason is absence of any minerals and contaminants that can deposit on the surface and effect the heat transfer by reducing the thermal conductivity of the surface. Infact some race/drag engines run on straight distill water but the long term effects are drastic as distill water cannot protect your engine/heat transfer surface from corrosion, inturn it will boost rust formation which is kind of slow-poison for your engine. Also note if your radiator fails to bring down the water temperatures below 100°C then the cavity formed by boiling water can hamper the heat transfer, this is where coolant mix can help in increasing the boiling point with a desire of uniform cooling.
Hi bro, good morning Does it affect engine performance if we change the viscosity of oil frequently Sometimes I use 15w40 and sometimes 10w40 semi synthetic or full synthetic
Good morning! In my case with the RTR 200 I have frequently switched in between 10W-30 and 10W-40 with no issues which was verified by lab tests as well, same was observed with the Honda Dream Yuga. However I never tried higher viscosity oils like 15W-50 or 10W-50. You can check these videos for more information 1. th-cam.com/video/omsUWl3hmo8/w-d-xo.html 2. th-cam.com/video/LHuKzDOHrkM/w-d-xo.html
Even I had the same doubt. Right now I can say the kinematic viscosity is lower on the superbike oil and the thermal stability is better. I am assuming the formulations to be different and that is why I want to do a lab test on the Superbike engine oil.
Even I was assuming it to be a replacement of Power1 racing 10W-50 which was the former flagship from Castrol but with the Power1 Ultimate Superbike they seemed to have done what Motul did with the 300V².
Which is the best fully synthetic engine oil according to you? 1) Liqui Molly Street Race 2) Motul 300 V2 3) Motul 300 V 4) Castrol Power 1 Ultimate Super Bike Engine Oil

Hi!
From 2019, I am researching about engine oils.
Till now, I am still doing research (not dedicated, but whenever I become free).
Now, for an running engine, below are the temperatures:
Oil sump: 70C~80C
Piston-Cylinder: 150C~180C (For track racing, upto 200C, but not considering that)
So, the viscosity at those temperatures will also matter.
Now, a manufacturer designs a oil for engine, also designs oil pump according to its viscosity index and viscosity at 70C-80C and 150C-180C.
For example, 10w40 with VI 150.
Now, if we use 15w40 with lower VI 135, then it will be thicker in the oil sump which will be great and create more oil pressure, but will be thinner in Piston-Cylinder (Compared to stock oil), which is not good and may cause wear and tear.
Now, if we use 5w40 with higher VI 165, then it will be thinner in the oil sump which is not good and create low oil pressure (which is a major reason for wear and tear), but will be thicker in Piston-Cylinder (Compared to stock coil), which is slightly not good as it causes a slight power loss.
Now, in extreme summer (45C), oil sump temperature increases, so, viscosity in oil sump also decreases and causes a slightly lower oil pressure and many people think that oil is becoming thin due to engine over heating (this thought may be wrong, although sometimes it is due to incomplete engine cooling also).
Now many people suggest to increase the upper grade, like if stock oil is 10w40 then use 10w50, but using this increases viscosity at both, the Oil Sump and the Piston-Cylinder.

So, if we compare the viscosities of 10w40, 10w50 and 20w50, below is the comparison:
At 70C-80C: 10w40 < 10w50 < 20w50

Increasing the viscosity at oil sump doesn't cause any harm but benificial due to increased oil pressure, but increasing the viscosity at Piston-Cylinder definitely causes loss (reduced fuel efficiency).
So, increase the viscosity at oil sump as much as it is required, but increase the viscosity at Piston-Cylinder as least as possible.
The same is applicable for other grades also (If 10w30 is stock oil then 20w40 can be used in summer instead of 10w40).

So, I decided to use Motul Scooter LE 10w30 with VI 134 (Good Case). After using that, I felt that for first 10-12 kms, it is quite silent similar to Activa (at least much silent than other Jupiters) and claimed Highway Only efficiency to around 64~65 kmpl (this is more than ARAI 62 kmpl).
Now after 1500 kms, now I felt that during ride with pillon, the oil is not thick enough. So I drained some oil and added 50 ml Castrol Activ 20w40 (VI 109) and after 200 kms, when both oils got mixed, now the oil combination is performing well.
Interesting. I always thought mineral oil have higher kinematic viscosity at 100 degree in order to supplement/compensate the low VI, for engine oil interval purpose
I THINK IN NORTH INDIA WHERE IN WINTERS TEMPERATURE IN MORNING ARE BELOW 5C THE 10W50 WILL WORK WELL.
ALSO I HAVE QUESTION THAT MOST HIGH VI OIL HAVE LOW FLASH POINT.
Which engine oil is best for CBR 250r

Best engine oil for mt 15 V2 ??
Can we use this on Xpulse 200 4V? That bike has heating issues.
Hii bruhh, can I use Castrol Power 1 Ultimate 10w40 in my R15 V4?!
Note: I rev my bike all the time as it is built to rev till 11,500 rpm
Ss you can use
Hi,
Which oil are you using now?
@@thesportztourer I’m using Liqui moly street 10w40
The street race 10W-40 is again a performance engine oil which should be comfortable with high rpm use.
@@thesportztourer Yeahh, street race is doing well on high rpms
Whats the mileage difference on this one
I have looked a lot and couldnt find a proper 5w 40 grade oil . Which one are you planning to use ?
I think liqui moly street race 5w40 is a good option
Did you get it online or offline? The Amazon seller e trade online keeps sending me fake oil
Sir please do motul v² vs liqui moly vs Castrol superbike oil comparison
Love you sir 😘

Bro review the gomechanic engine oil they providing full synthetic ones in the range of 300-400
Hi,
Have purchased one.
Will it last 10k km as bmw has 10k drain interval???
Please resolve this mystery!!!
"For hotter countries, where the water never freezes by room temperature all through out the season of the year, Distilled water is a far better coolant than any manufactures' coolant."
Does distilled water, have better heat transferring capability to the radiator?
Yes it does and the reason is absence of any minerals and contaminants that can deposit on the surface and effect the heat transfer by reducing the thermal conductivity of the surface. Infact some race/drag engines run on straight distill water but the long term effects are drastic as distill water cannot protect your engine/heat transfer surface from corrosion, inturn it will boost rust formation which is kind of slow-poison for your engine.
Also note if your radiator fails to bring down the water temperatures below 100°C then the cavity formed by boiling water can hamper the heat transfer, this is where coolant mix can help in increasing the boiling point with a desire of uniform cooling.
@@thesportztourer Thank you so much for the detailed answer!
When will lab test come ...waiting for it eagerly..
Saving up for the lab test expense account 😅
Jokes aside, even I am eager for the test results so keep a check on the channel 😊

Hello of Colombia Medellín Antioquia club Ruteros Apache RTR Medellín Colombia 🇦🇲
Sir give a try to Yamalube RS4GP, I never felt such acceleration with other premium engine oils on my R15 V3.
What is the cost of RS4GP & how can I buy one?!
@@alphaxlexa450 It costs around Rs 1200 and you can get it from Yamaha authorised service centre.
@@WingsofOil thanks
@@alphaxlexa450 No problem bro
comparison of this with 300V 15W-50 or 300V2 10W-50 which is probably discontinued.
Hi bro, good morning
Does it affect engine performance if we change the viscosity of oil frequently
Sometimes I use 15w40 and sometimes 10w40 semi synthetic or full synthetic
No it doesn't affect as long as the old, different grade oil is fully drained.
Good morning!
In my case with the RTR 200 I have frequently switched in between 10W-30 and 10W-40 with no issues which was verified by lab tests as well, same was observed with the Honda Dream Yuga. However I never tried higher viscosity oils like 15W-50 or 10W-50.

@@thesportztourer thank you bro
What is the difference between this with the normal 10w 50 Castrol power 1 ultimate fully synthetic which comes around 700rs??
Even I had the same doubt. Right now I can say the kinematic viscosity is lower on the superbike oil and the thermal stability is better. I am assuming the formulations to be different and that is why I want to do a lab test on the Superbike engine oil.
@@thesportztourer normal 10w 50 also reads superbike if you notice😅
Even I was assuming it to be a replacement of Power1 racing 10W-50 which was the former flagship from Castrol but with the Power1 Ultimate Superbike they seemed to have done what Motul did with the 300V².
Waiting for lab test
Lab test is needed

600 ml, it's written on the engine oil cap. But one can go with 650-700 ml
@@akupegu1622 is there any problem to motul or Castrol...my activa is new and only runs 500km
As Aku said, even I found the level settling at around 650ml.
@@thesportztourer Thanku so much... please reply my other question
@@thesportztourer is there any problem to use motul or Castrol...my activa is new and only runs 500km
For RTR we can move to 10w50 or 15 w50
For RTR 10W40 is much enough
Hi DK,
You can go with either 10W-30 or 10W-40 grade synthetic engine oil.
