Using Motul (8100 5w-40 initially then 0W-40) since 8 years in my Honda City '09 and I replace engine oil myself every year. Engine is smooth and gives decent mileage. Never faced any issues

Rating 2.0

Could be the oil and not any problem with the engine itself. In India, these engines come with Motul 7100 full synthetic oil. There have been some discussions on the 390Duke forums and on Reddit that the oil burning issue and high oil consumption is caused by using Motul 7100

Cons: oil burning issue

Pros: no drop in oil
Mileage: 500 km
