Engine oil. . .

yes,very good, have not touched the engine,just change every 10,000km, only twice in 1 year with genuine oil filter....but i am planning to open up the engine once i reached 100000km just to see the engine internals for wear...

Any brand of motorcycle engine oil will do. .just choose the higher grade like 10w60 or 10w50. .if you can find 5w50 or 5w60 it will be the best. .

i'm using motul 10W-40 engine smooth and doesn't have any problem until now. i did ask mechanic which spec is good for our bike, this what they suggest:

1) 0 - 5 years old bike = 0W or 5W
2) 5 - 10 years old bike = 10W
3) 10 - 15 years old bike = 15W and above

whether 40 or 50 it depends, if u shoetr distance traveller suitable for u to use 40 and if u long distance traveller recommended to use 50 because it can withstand high tempreture :mrgreen:

what is your basis? There is logic to the statement. Newer engines have tighter clearance that require thinner oil. As your engine gets older, you need a slightly thicker oil. Old engines with big clearance, need thick oils. Although the age is not really the exact measure of engine condition. Thinner oil is lighter thus more power and better fuel efficiency. But if your engine is already loosing compression, a thicker oil can help lower oil consumption. Best oil is no question, full synthetic. It can maintain its quality longer. Except for Mobil 1, all oils are mineral oil. Additives are added to attain synthetic performance.

I'm using Motul 3000, smooth and better acceleration for topspeed
Better than what oil? Please state the oils you are comparing. Remember also that every change oil is generally better since the new oil is new compared to a depreciated old oil. Unless your new oil is a crapy one.

I've used Yamalube new, Power1, Shell Advance, all change in every 1000km

I bet you that if you put power1 in your next change oil, it will again be better. The oil you change is already burned unlike your fresh new oil.
I have used power1 for almost 1 year, engine is always hot, yamalube and shell is better for me than power1, power1 change oil every 1000km

I've used Motul only just 2times and satisfied.
