[hu-am-i]

Motul 300V for my opinion is of top grade, smooth riding. Plus changing of gears have never been

any easier. Major problem is cost. I still have a bottle of Motul 300V left to use. Might be changing

to a different EO once i used up the last one. It'll dry up my wallet faster than it can reach the 2500k

mark. Based on reviews, should consider trying Chessa Chex 9000.

Hey guys, you all change your engine oil and spark plug yourself ?

[jtzx]

nop.. oil must be carefully dispose.. cannot anyhow pour away in drains hor... plug u can change yourself ;D

Pandora's Kitten - This EO should be used for light duty or emergency top up only, with speeds not exceeding 90kph. Oil loses protective qualities (foaming) at highway speeds or when on overtaking power, leading to loud roaring sound. Rating 0/5

Pandora's Kitten - Used Chex 9000 since June 2010. After almost 1 year, bike's performance is still "as good as freshly overhauled". Oil is very tolerant of harsh operating conditions and my Phantom has guaranteed zero oil consumption (no need to check anymore). Gear changes super smooth and engine is relatively quiet compared to when running Castrol or Motul. My bike when purchased 4th hand had some valve or timing chain lubrication issues but after changing to Chex 9000, no repairs needed to be made to the engine even 30,000kms later. Rating 6/5

Exactly why I use 15W50 for my bike. 10W40 is the minimum.

[mrnoman]

HEllo everyone,

can I just top up my engine oil rather the changing it?

 

Will it harm the bike if I mix the engine oil with different brand?

dun tink it shud have alot of issues.. nv really heard of probs wif different brand.. but d prob is, if u dun change, alot of particles and carbon builds up inside.. although the amount of EO can be kept sufficient, the dirt inside it just keeps accumulating.. n rmb, our bike doesnt hv a filter.. might nt be good in d long run..

[weiqiang]

i just topped up my eo with 5w50 car engine oil from a few mths esso extra 4t eo. think only a bit of the car eo. will it affect the engine? anyone tried using the eo for container trucks? with 15w40. tt one can be used on phantom? very confused with the numbers. 5w50 is it better than 10w40? hope someone can help me out. new to phantom

i just topped up my eo with 5w50 car engine oil from a few mths esso extra 4t eo. think only a bit of the car eo. will it affect the engine? anyone tried using the eo for container trucks? with 15w40. tt one can be used on phantom? very confused with the numbers. 5w50 is it better than 10w40? hope someone can help me out. new to phantom

 

Shouldn't be a problem if its a small amount. The number 5W40 or 10W40 just tell the thickness of the EO. What is more important is to see if there are friction busters in the Car EO, which can cause clutch slippage if used in a bike with wet clutch like phantom. But since the amount is little you dont have to worry.

like pulser mentioned, shud be okay if the amount is little. btw, talking about container trucks, i might be trying heavy duty engine oil (HDEO) next.. most probably Shell Rimula or Mobile Delvac... seen the reviews around (malaysian cubs) and it seems to work as good as premium motorcycle EO despit costing as low as $11...

 

although, on the other hand, i might not want to... cux im loving my Belray Thumper 15W50!!! finally an EO that truly does not evaporate in my old phantom! its been almost a year of riding it and after going through more than 4 different brands, an EO that can take my hard-revving and clutchless upshifts without any fuss and still be smooth.. highly recommended! though i bet it applies to individual bikes lar.. like hw Chex 9000 still evaporates in mine..

Original Honda Motor Oil 0W20 Similar to the picture except the words are all Thai.

Icomeforyou - Loved this motor oil, cheap and good. Smooth, and gear is smooth. The oil once changed you can feel its thickness. My vehicle was "growling". Top speed okay, not much improvement, but riding is smooth. Best utilized at 85 - 95 there abouts. Can feel it starting to break down around the 1k~1.5k mark

[sLapshock]

Can anyone recommend me what type of EO is good for long distance ride?

[madevo]

Hmmm.. I dun have my phantom's manual..

But i went for my first oil change at shop, the shop recommended me 1.5l EO..

 

I said I always read the norm is 1L, but they said for my model (the newer custom4) model use more than the old model...

So im not sure.. Issit true?

[Silent Hunter]

Never heard of such a thing.

 

Only first time changing, take out from factory odometer 00000km need a bit more, because everything is bone dry inside.

 

After that is 1 L

Thanks bro! Think I better find a way pump out some of the EO already.. haiya.

[Allen]

How long do you all change your EO?

[naim]

nt sure abt other riders, but personally, max 2k... if i got the mood/money, 1k-1.5k.. call me kiasu, but at least i knw my engine is taken care of.. usually every mth lar.. cux rmb we got no filter, so alot of contaminants can stay in the EO over tym..
