Engine oil Shell or MOTUL

this oil is used in a dominar 400 and has been used for roughly 1500km before the highway ride in heavy and light city traffic. my opinion of this oil so far is pros:-

it's very consistent so you know what to expect from it

maintains its smoothness even at higher rpms/ speeds

the engine remains cool on the highways but again this can be attributed to the excellent heat management liquid cooling system of Dominar 400

oil drains can be decently long 4-5k km if the motorcycle Is liquid-cooled( it will still have some life left but hey please change the oil at 5k km)

it's a clean oil, and it has detergents that will keep your engine from having sludge deposits

cons:-

as soon as the engine heats the gear shift experience is a mess, its okay to switch between gears but getting into neutral is hard

higher priced compared to other good brands like total hi perf, but lower than Castrol

also, this is a big one I've heard and read on other motorcycle forums, ester-based oils can be bad for gaskets and seals in the long run.

this oil is kinda bad to use in an air-cooled engine, because this oil evaporates and decreases in level, in an air-cooled engine this will be a mess as this oil from what I can understand and feel was designed to go into a liquid-cooled engine and this does a poor job at transferring and absorbing heat. seen many cases of oil level drop when used in an air/oil cooled motor

most importantly there are a lot of fakes of this oil in the market so to source the genuine one just go to a KTM showroom if your bike uses 10w50

verdict:- good oil for the price, looks fancy with the red colour, does its job well, and will last 5k km easily on a liquid-cooled engine

Just make sure it’s SP 0w30 I personally run the euro spec castrol which is the same at the BMW bottle. The Motul SP is also good.

Im using Motul at Petron lang Palagi sa engine oil ko overall 29k odo na motor ko walang masamang nangyare ( ingat sa fake motul )

I used motul 7100 10W50 but couldn’t rate it as my bike simply was in storage for months after and it was a overkill as well, now using motul 5100 15W50, the heat control, gear shifting is awesome, let’s see what the mileage comes out to be

It completely transforms the bike , it resists heating like it almost non existent even after a hard session of riding, performance is consistent in warm up, cold start or all kinds of situation ,fuel efficiency definitely increased, and the acceleration is also noticable better and power is also good compared to when I used to run on liquid gun and on highways the bike totally becomes a beast . I highly recommend shell to my fellow riders, it's the one that completely suits RE engines

I have been using Motul’s 5w40 8100 X-Cess gen2 since I got my car. 2017 Subaru sti EJ257. Built 418 whp No issues every couple oil changes I like to try some Motul 5w50 in there for 2500km or so then switch back to 5w40

I use Motul Sport 5w40 now called (8100 Power) with ester. I've been using it since day 1 of ownership back in 2019. Best oil, no complaints.

Motul 5w-40 300V. 120k kilometers, Stage2 REVO, it doesn't burn.

From my past 2 year experience, I’d suggest you to go for 5w30 but with an imported brand from a reliable source. Amsoil, Liquimoly, Motul are some household names.

I’ve been using T6 for 8 years now and it still lubricates the car. The car burns oil though so it’s always getting fresh stuff.
