You should ones give a try to Repsol.

Pros - Same smoothness we get with LM. Better clutch, you will love it I can bet on this.
Cons - Very expensive and with a relatively shorter oil than the LM oil life as I feel.

My sprinter has weak clutch plates these days but Repsol has overcome it quite nicely and I didn't get the same with LM, Castrol active.

Let me guess. Its a GS150 right? Because this is not possible in CG125

Personally, and honestly, I am deeply surprised by the clutch performance last night, on GT-Road. I remember Havoline giving up on me, on my way to Mananwala (before Shahkot). I was also stuck in a traffic jam on GT Road for like half hour, and I swear the clutch performance kept my motivation up. Keeping in view the already worse condition of oil (as mentioned before) it faired surprisingly well. But I think Winter is also an added factor in better performance.

Change first oil at 200km 2nd at 600km 3rd at 1000km
later on you can drain oil after every 1500-2000km depends on you
i think 2000km should be best drain interval as bike is having oil filter too

Zic 20w40 is very good engine oil you should use it in your GD

[ammarzahid]

Use zic 10w40 for your new engine changing interval can be 300km and then 1000km. For further piece of mind you can go for 250 600 1000. Zic 10-40 is cheap and does the job adequately. Just make sure you get genuine(you can order online to ensure this)

Zic is quite good, haven't tried it yet. But I am using Shell AX5 for my Pridor, I'm quite satisfied with it's performance. I really started to hate Honda Oil, as this time when I took my bike for tuning they change oil and use Honda Genuine Oil. Quite a bad performance, I couldn't even make my bike to touch 80 KM/H and on AX5 I touched 100 KM/H on canal.
And for those who advise to use Liqui Moly, they are quite expensive for 70 and 100 or even 125. As you have to change the oil at 1000 KM, so in my opinion it's not good to use that much expensive oil when you aren't going to utilise the full potential of that oil.
That's just my opinion, you may agree or disagree.

I just wanted to update, the LiquiMoly 10w-40 which i reported a few months ago to be Rs.900 something ... is available at Rs.800 from Filter House, Montgomery Road, Lahore.

I have recently changed oil of my bike at 2100kms with Guard 20W50. I bought it basically for my car but it was written it can be used in any petrol engine. The mechanic said its thick but no need to worry. Just let the bike warm up for 10 mins before riding. I am not feeling anything wrong however just to be sure i am posting it here whether i should continue using it or perhaps change it. After the oil change i have driven it around 100kms.

[ammarzahid]

@icecold these bikes are pretty tough especially the cd70 no need to worry just change it on time (1000km)

Used Zic 4T 20W-40 in my GS throughout the year and it did a fine job.
But now with outdoor temperatures touching 5 degree celsius, clutch started giving trouble when engine is cold. That infamous morning kattak issue.
And i can't wait for more than 2 minutes while warming up the ride, so thought it's time to go with thinner grade for the winter.
Now i have poured Zic 4T 10W-40. Hope it will do the job.

Gull bhai my bike is doing same issues. Best practice is to warm it up for 1 minute then ride it for 2 3 km at low speed and max 3rd gear. Than go ahead with any speed with sound free ride.

I am using Zic 10w40 without any problem.

I bought castrol 20w40 or 10w40 (don't remember, actually the shopkeeper recommend it) engine oil for my new unique cd 70 bike. I am having serious gear issues. They stuck quite often. I can't reverse gears in idle position and during the drive gears often get stuck on shifting upward esp. From 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd. Please help. Its urgent. The bike has completed 600km and I changed the oil after 300kms. The bike is also stalling very much.
