Motorcycle Engine Oils

[bhatti007]

Here is my initial observation after using Kixx & Liqui Moly in my CG 125 (1700 KM as yet), So far I have driven 100 KM with LM but would like to share the experience;

Kixx 4T API SL Jaso Ma (Price 480/L):

1. Excellent Excellent Clutch & Gear Performance No matter how old your oil is and how warm your engine is. It was completely unmatched smooth gear shifting and no slip in clutch.

2. Oil viscosity was 30% lost at 800 KM so you will start observing lack of smoothness in acceleration and more vibration.
3. Good Sharp Engine Sound and quick startups.

About Liqui Moly 4T 20W20 Street:

1. Excellent MORE 'Brutal POWER' specially on Higher RPMs. Bike says... Come on baby give me some more acceleration.
2. Excellent Engine Temperature Control, Engines doesn't get tired even after 20 KM Ride in one go. Oil doesn't lose viscosity like other oils.

3. Very stable IDLE ... like dig dig dig dig even on 700 RPMs
4. However, bike vibration is more than KIXX specially on low RPS, KIXX was very good on less vibration but LM vibrates bike little more.

5. Clutch performance is not good in LM. I must say KIXX is the king in clutch and gear shifting.
6. First 2 KM on LM is not that great like on KIXX but after 2 KMs, bike says... Now this is the time to show the magic.

I'll share the feedback after 1000 KM on LM.

Yes bro...mujhe b liqui moly farig laga h 750 waste hi kiye hain.

You have to proper warm-up your bike if you use liquimoly. after warmup the bike will become so smooth.and kixx is good max upto 900-1000 kms.
But liquimoly is safe till 1500 tkm or so reapected members use liquimoly upto 2000 kms and they are satisfied.

cg k nakrey bohat hai If havoline is poured overhating,clucth sound,engine unwanted sounds occur if zix is poured performance gone if liqui moly is poured clucth performance gone

Yeh lo bro

1500 is safe drain interval for LM,it also varies with ride.A GS 150 will have a higher drain interval than honda's line up because of independent oil filter which obviously is better at cleaning engine than centrifugal ones.

COuldnt procure LM last time so atm using honda oil in my ride would drain at 900.

@moons i can't find it in twin cities.

This is winter season, you should try 10W-40 Fully synthetic of Repsol. It is an all-round performance oil, experienced the best clutch grip with this oil. Costly hai @1000Rs.

Performance remain same even in longer run do not get water like other 10W-40 grade oil very very different.

[Anyone]

how is the performance of zic 20w40 in winters?

100% Agree.
I am thinking out loud and going to do one experiment to mix 50% KIXX and 50% LM to make my own blend.
Since, the engine oils we are getting are already a blend of different oils. So why not we should give it a try to get Better performance and better clutch performance. Since the grading of the oils (Kixx & LM) is same.

Opinions required.

I do it bro, I guess I over expected from LM.

if you see even with 20-40w cg get very hot after a constant drive of 3-5km so putting 10-40w will be killing the engine

[abdulrehmanrauf]

The reason I refer this oil is because this is really a 10W-40 grade oil unlike other brands available, where oil tends to get thin. I will be trying out 10W-40 version of LM next time so to compare LM vs Repsol.

And originally (also mentioned in the manual of CG-125 OHV) 10W-40 grade oil is recommended. Our problem is that we have no real 10W-40 graded oil.

[abdulrehmanrauf]

You mean the manual you get with your CG from AHL ?

Hmmm... it might be changed for our local machines.

From the link I saw this
