This oil is worth extra 100 ruppes over the castrolactive1. Cold start issue is gone Also initial start to warm up goes very smooth and engine is smooth no knocking sound. I had personally experienced it on Honda Activa 110cc het 2014 with 28789kms.
After watching your video I moved to this oil for my Suzuki Access 125. The difference is unbelievable and the best thing that has happened to it. The engine smoothness both during cold and hot operations is excellent. The FE has also increased by 3-4 kmpl. Thank You 😊
Lab test,,, very good scientific n accurate video on topic. Scientific analysis can be understood by very few people ,who know the science of oil composition. But most of general public cannot understand the meanings of scientific terms n maths associated with it. No doubt ur efforts are valuable; meanwhile, if at the end, the utility values of both brands oils were explained in common words, it would have been better n more useful for general viewers, who number in thousands among auto lovers.
SIR, can you make a comparison between MOTUL POWER LE 5W40 and CASTROL POWER1 ULTIMATE Scooter 5W40. And which is better, which can you recommend for YAMAHA NMAX. I have been following your videos. You posted before about Motul LE 5W40 and now I am confused which is better because of this new video you posted about Castrol. Hehehe.. HOpe you will notice my comment. You are the reason why I stick with the MOTUL LE 5W40 ever since. And please sir I am more concern on the protection, its detergent; and that the fuel efficiency will be bonus benefit. Thanks.
I HAVE COMPARED BOTH ENGINE OIL AND I CAN SAY MOTUL IS CLEAR WINNER AS IT IS HAVING HIGH FLASH POINT 0F 226 COMAPRED TO CASTROL 205 ALSO VISCOSITY INDEX OF MOTUL IS 181 WHILE CASTROL STANDS AT 169.
Make a comparison video on stock engine oils made by two wheeler manufacturers like Suzuki Ecstar, Honda, Yamalube and TVS Skutaa. I had been using the Suzuki Ecstar mineral oil on my Burgman Street and I could feel performance going down after 1500 kms. I usually changed it around 2000 kms as it was not worth pushing much after that. Now I have the Suzuki Ecstar R7000 semi synthetic oil. After around 1800kms, it is better than the mineral one but not that good. Still there are quite some vibrations on pick up and idling and reduction in high speed performance. Both are 10W 30. I usually drive at high speed on highways with sometimes getting stuck in traffic jams. Maybe after the warranty period I will put this or the Motul 7100 10W 40. (PS: what's with two wheeler manufacturers not allowing to put same grade oil from oil manufacturers?? And they will void the warranty too. Do they know that there are better oils in the market?)
I use Liqui moly in my access, my warranry has voided I think cause I can't show 4 ecstar oil changes but.. if you use ecstar you'll feel your engine getting old..use better oils and you won't need warranty.
Hi, I liked your video and the information that you have shared. I would like to know if I can use this oil on my hero honda pleasure ( old model 2010)?
Please make a review of Kixx 5w40 scooter fully synthetic oil. Here in Philippines, kixx is extremely popular because of the low cost and very good performance
I m using this Motul expert LE 10w30 oil in my activa since 4 months, Before that i m using Motul 10w30 LE scooter mineral oil, One thig i notice after using EXPERT LE 10w30 average increase by 5 km per ltr, but in morning at first start ,knocking sound came from engine for 20 second. When i use mineral oil it was not any knocking sound at first start. Can any one suggest what is it? My mechanic suggest me go for 10w40 MB grade oil, also it helps to maintain viscosity in summer temperature.
Honda knows their engine best. My friends Activa 125 Bs6 has run 40000km on Honda genuine 5w30 oil. The scooter has been through every situation including hill rides and constant 80kph cruising on the highways. Its still super smooth and returning 60kpl mileage.
Same here bro. I would like to know the answer as well. Hope Mr The Sportztouter will notice my question. I have been using the MOTUL POWER LE 5W40 for more than a year now after I saw his video. Now this new video, I am interested to know which is better Motul LE 5W40 or Castrol Power1 ultimate 5W40.
I HAVE COMPARED BOTH ENGINE OIL AND I CAN SAY MOTUL IS CLEAR WINNER AS IT IS HAVING HIGH FLASH POINT 0F 226 COMAPRED TO CASTROL 205 ALSO VISCOSITY INDEX OF MOTUL IS 181 WHILE CASTROL STANDS AT 169. ALSO MOTUL OIL IS LITTLE THINNER AND WOULD GIVE BETTER FUEL MILEAGE.
Hi, I am curious about using Castrol Activ 20w40 in Apache. Compared to any 10w40, 20w40 will create more oil pressure, due to which smoothness can further increase. However, from piston side, it is lighter than any 10w40 whereas heavier than any 10w30. Only it may create cold start problem during winter, but there should not be any problem in summer. Although earlier versions of Castrol Activ were mineral, but newer versions of Castrol Activ are semi synthetic (Synthetic Technology is written on the bottle). Please let me know the experience, if possible.
I have used Castrol Activ 20w40 in my Passion Pro which has 10w30 factory recommendation. Castrol 20w40 makes the engine ultra smooth and silent, engine doesn't heat up and the bike is easily able to cruise at 60-70 all day. But there's a huge negative to using this grade, the engine life decreases drastically. 20w40 has very poor cold start properties. With 20w40 grade, the engine takes a lot of time to warm up because the oil takes its own sweet time to flow during a morning cold start. This causes metal to metal contact and hence engine life is reduced. For maximum engine life, the engine oil should instantly reach and lubricate every part of the engine, mainly the engine bearings during the first start in the morning. That's why every manufacturer is recommending 10w, 5w and 0w grades these days. No company recommends 20w40 for their new products. Apache series have 10w30 recommendation. Use 10w40 grade for more smoothness and engine life.
Hi, There are 2 different things: 1. Cold Start 2. Warm Up Time Cold start is only to consider when, starting engine with everything cold. Once engine is started, it will depend upon engine idle power and oil viscosity index. If engine is same, then Oil Viscosity Index will matter. Lower the viscosity index, lesser the warm up time. For example, 10w40 has higher viscosity index and will take more warmup time in apache whereas 20w40 has lower viscosity index and will take less warm up time. Reason: For low viscosity index, a temperature change will change the viscosity in large extent. So, 20w40 will thin out quickly compared to 10w40. If engine oil is same but engines are different, then, high power engine will take less warm up time. For example Apache will take less time to warm up than Passion pro, when same 20w40 engine oil is used. Regarding engine damage during cold start, yes, during winter season, 20w40 will cause more damage compared to 10w30 due to more viscosity. Considering 10C winter temperature, below is the approx. viscosity: 10w30: 320~380 cSt 20w40: 700~850 cSt Considering 30C summer temperature, below is the approx. viscosity: 10w30: 100~130 cSt 20w40: 170~210 cSt So, during 10C, there is the difference of around 500 cSt, whereas during 30C, the difference is only 80 cSt. So, during non winter season, 20w40 will not cause much damage compared to using 10w30 in winter season (definitely in winter season, 20w40 will cause more damage). Also, summer season is coming, that's why I told to try this experiment, as there will not be any problem of cold starting of Apache when using 20w40.
@@sujaybiswas783 wow, thats quite some info. I am from. Kerala, where the the climate is unpredictable and always changing. We get chilly climate, extreme heat, rain, etc almost everyday. Here, we mostly use 10w40 in RTR200 4v and RTR160 4v. We don't use 10w30 because the engine feels harsh at high rpms. We also don't use 20w40 because it goes against the quick revving nature of Apache engines, also makes the bike feel sluggish. My point about Passion Pro was about using the engine oil brand you mentioned, i.e 'Castrol Activ 20w40'. Just shared my experience of using t that engine oil for 50000+ kms.
@@manu201022 Hi, I am from West Bengal and currently live in Delhi NCR. I don't completely agree with you that Apache will feel sluggish with 20w40. For most of the cases, it will work fine, but for extreme cases (more than 90% power is used), it may feel harsh. As at 190C~200C temperature, 20w40 is slightly thinner than 10w30. But, yes, passion pro will definitely feel sluggish with that 20w40. As there is a huge power difference in those 2 bikes. Many people feel engine harshness with stock engine oil, especially when engine is old and during summer season. I found some important parameters of engine which needs to be checked. 1. Engine fins should be clear. This will improve head cooling. 2. Bottom of oil sump should be also clear. This will improve oil cooling (for apache, it will matter a very small due to dedicated oil cooling radiator). By doing above, 95% of overheating issues are resolved during summer season.
From all the comments that I see generally, everyone here has to remember something.. Engine Oil efficiency also depends on how you take care of the other parts of your bike.. Your fuel, your air intake filter and radiator and so on.. Even if you use one of the best engine oils out there but you don't take care of the others, there's no point as well..
What would you suggest for an MT07 with daily mileage of 30KM. Price isn't an issue for me. Riding style wise, 30% in traffic jams 10-30km/h, 70% highway (often redline).
Congratulations on the MT09! As majority of your riding is going to be in traffic I will suggest you to try the Liqui Moly Street race. Alternatives can be the Power1 ultimate and Motul 7100.
@@IhsanFarisi still i will say Castrol and shell you can also check out motul 7100. i have no experience in huge capacity bikes so i don't how its going to perform you will have to check for yourself
@UCk7nYrFwJcNQJzI_u_oOh_Q That's ur choice if u change it early. I'm using since 3500 kms. It's still working smoothly, no change in performance. I too use in city traffic.
Ye castrol power 1ultimate 10w40 jo ki bike ke liye banaya hai to kya hum ise scooter me use kar sakate hai? Aur please uske uper bhi video banao ki jo oil specific scooter aur bike keliye banaye gaye hote hai means unme kya difference hai.. Jaise ye power1 ultimate 10w40 jo specifically bike ke liye mention kiya hai naki scooter keliye to kya aisa content add kiya hai as compare to scooter specific oil.
what can we do if company recmend 5w30 engine oil for scooter . if we use other oil warranty voided. and other thing what castrol aur motul or any other company make 5w30 fully aynthetic oil for 6g scooter
Bro ek esi condition ka oil lab test krna jisme agr bike 2000km chli hui ho 1+ year m... Kya oil ki property Change hoti h? , Agr bike ki running km ho to, oil change ki need rehti h kya?
I want to do a lab test but don't know who provides the service. In USA I think Blackstone labs provide such service where we send sample by indian post parcel service or DTDC as such. And what would the cost . thanks
I want to Use Honda Throttle in My Honda SP -125 Bs6 But The Problem is Company Recommended Grade is 5W-30 MA and Honda The Throttle Synthetic Engine Oil Grade is 10-30
Check the manual. Activa 125 Bs6 has both 5w30 MA an 10w30 MB recommended in owners manual. I have to say, Activa 125 feels ultra smooth with that Honda OE 5w30 MA oil (Black bottle).
Thanks ❤️ Dear Bro, Please suggest a best 10w30 fully or semi synthetic engine oil for Suzuki Burgman 125. I am a heavy user and Currently I am using Mak scooteck 10w30. But its ok for 60km speed after smoothness not good. Also use Castrol 5w40 but Suzuki not recommend this grade and its not give good mileage compare with 10w30 grade. But highspeed perfomance was excellent. So I think 10w30 is fine for my scooter but I am very confused which oil is good for High speed protection and mileage
There is no 10w30 synthetic oil for scooter. I have access 125 and it has same engine as burgman, i used castrol power 1 5w40 and now using motul 5w40 le both are powerful and good oils and u will observe improvement in throttle response immediately. But yes i do agree that as its thicker grade than 10w30 there will be a drop in mileage. If u want to stick to 10w30 grade then there is semi synthetic oil from shell. Shell advance ax7 its easily available on amazon around 320 to 350 rs. Try and see it.
@@localriderkerala there is motul semi synthetic for scooter. It maybe bike oil not for scooter. If u want value for money use motul scooter le 10w30 (its mineral oil), if u want semi synthetic use shell ax7 scooter 10w30, if u want full synthetic use castrol power 1 ultimate 5w40.
Sir I have Aprilia sr 150 scooter ... I have been using Motul 7100 10w40 engine oil... so I am planning to use Motul v300 10w40 engine oil... can I use this oil for scooter.... ???? Please reply soon
I'm using mobil scooter 10w30 grade engine oil on my activa 125 the same grade as company suggests the performance of this engine oil is actually great for normal commuting on city roads and out on highway 70kmph is ideal for 125 cc scooter usually this engine oil comes in budget segment Few months back I got to know about this Castrol power1 ultimate scooter engine oil so I decided to give it a try as this Oil priced around 470rs. For mobil engine oil the drain interval is 3000km So I decided to drain it in around 5000 km . Now when I am commenting there is only 32km left to complete 5000km on odo. is it safe to stretch a 5w40 grade oil till this range because there are no such major fall in performance or in smoothness or malfunction in engine whats your opinion on that ??
It really depends on your driving as well.. If you're cruising at normal speeds and do not travel long distances daily, then it's not a problem.. I'm using a 2016 Yamaha NMAX.. I've stretched my Fully Synthetic Engine Oil until 4,500km and it started seeing a drop in performance and also fuel efficiency.. Yamaha themselves recommends and interval of every 4,000km.. So in my opinion, I would say 5,000km should be the limit..
Respected sir I bought a burgman about 2 months ago i would like to change the engine oil with liqui moly 10w40 street is it good for my scooter please suggest 🙏
Hello bro I always appreciate your work and your videos. I am using R15 V3 I have used liqui mouli for my bike and after 4000-5000 I feel the power is decreasing and vibrations increased alot. I'm thinking to go with Castrol power ultimate for my bike is it ok please let me know which is best for my bike
Best for your bike would be motul 7100 10w-40 around 770rs in offline market.. And can last around 3k-3.5k kms.. And probably u can feel the change.. And if you r opting for Liqui Moly go for street race 10w-40 as it is full synthetic and the street is a semi-synthetic oil...
2500 km. Thats the best any mineral/semi/full synth engine oil can last in an air cooled / forced air cooled engine, in Indian conditions. You can stretch the drain interval of full synthetic to 3500-4000km, but post 2500 km the lubrication properties of the oil decrease and the engine would start consuming (burning) oil. Basically you would be damaging the engine.
Becuz it was technical analysis and then result . Not like our desi youtuber and vlogger . Like hello friends mene ye use kiya mere ko ye pashand aaya he oil kala kam nikal raha he ....
