  • Understanding Engine OIL Grading Numbers. For an example: What is 10W40. 20W50 engine OIL. Motul 300V, Motul 7100. Shell, Bajaj oils, Yamalube etc.. This video was filmed when I was invited to the Pulsar RS200 Ride by Bajaj as a Special Guest. Pulsarmaniacs 1st anniversary ride. This is recommended for any motorcycle like the 2017 KTM Duke 390, 2017 KTM RC390, yamaha R3, Bajaj Pulsar RS200, Pulsar NS160, Pulsar NS200 etc or for that matter even for Motorcycles like the Triumph Street Triple, Kawasaki Z900 , Z1000, Z800, Daytona 675 etc. My Facebook Page: www.Facebook.com/Vikas.Rachamalla

    • @Ashishaxu
      @Ashishaxu 2 роки тому +1

      Yess definitely becouse if u use ur bike in higher rpm it creates heat.
      So 10w50 will work remain in its ideal conditions where 10w40 will be out of its property.
      10w50 is more heat resistance then 10w40. Will work better in heat
      In cold both are same .
      But if u ride normal no more heat is produced use 10w40👍 why to spend more money

      Where did you procure the oil from? From outside or the SVC itself? If they are refusing then call Suzuki customer service and lodge a complaint. I have personally talked with Suzuki and they have clearly told me that 7100 can be used in SF without any issues

This is sad to see that a person is doing hard work to give us so much information than also less subscribers as the north Indians UA-camrs have million of subscribers... Why this is I can't know..

    Brother, I have a question.. I have apache 160 RTR.. and it's been 8 years.. and the problem I am facing right now is my engine oil (motul 10w40) is getting emptied up really too soon.. like in just 2000 kms... what could be the issue here?
    Showroom guys are telling me that work needs to be done on the engine.. like changing piston or connecting rods and all... and they are telling me that the cost would go up to ₹12k..
    So I thought why not ask the same thing with an expert first and then do what you'd suggest me?
    Please reply..

    • @MrSksingh02
      @MrSksingh02 7 років тому +2

      Sajjan Adhalrao
      Bro...instead you can try Motul 7100 Fully Synthetic 20w50...on both your motorcycles.
      It will easily go upto 6000 to 7000 kilometers.
      I am using it on my Hornet 160r CBS and the results are faboulous.
      No need to change your engine oil so frequently...this simply like throwing away money, as Vikas said in this vlog.
      These oils are so well engineered, that their viscosity remains for quite a long time.
      Happy and safe riding bro...

    20w50 is best for Indian condition.. Bikes with slipper clutch they can opt synthetic 4t oil .. Bikes like Honda shine, bajaj 150, tvs , etc will run happy on Base oils .. Putting synthetic oil to these bikes is not advisable.. Scooters will surely run happy on 15w40 oil .
