hi sifu2 otai2 sekalian,

for a new Lagenda 115z first service, what would be the ideal engine oil to choose, if wan to sayang engine in the long run?
can i use the silver bottle for 1st service and change to semi/fully on 2nd service? or it will be better off to straight use fully after 1st service? hmm.gif

planned service internal:
1st service: after 500km
2nd service: after 1500km
3rd service and ongoing: every 2000km

semi, fully or silver bottle as per photo below? hmm.gif

i would just go for fully synth but since your service interval is not that far semi pun ok. whatever tickles your wallet since kapcai service is not that expensive. just that after your warranty dah habis never tuang JTX eo in your engine or else there's people out there will pm you if want to tukar engine bearing can pm them.  tongue.gif

Something to ponder on:

1) FULLY SYNTHETIC by definition is 100% synthetic base. This we know cock sure edy.

2) MINERAL by definition is 100% mineral base. This too we know cock sure edy and they're cheap.

3) SEMI SYNTHETIC is what exactly?

10% mineral base + 90% synthetic base = semi synthetic
90% mineral base + 10% synthetic base = also semi synthetic

For all the variations in price for the different semi synthetic offerings, it would be simpler to just buy the cheapest fully synthetic oil you can find coz at least you know cock sure you're getting 100% synthetic oil.

Soli to necro. Just want to ask what is the recommended change interval for 4T mineral and fully syn? Is it 1k and 5k?
*
no experience with mineral. I'm using fully

when servicing your bike, try peep the colour of oil

initially I tried change at 3k. but the colour I noticed quite dark

and now my usual interval is 2.5k and change oil filter every 2 times oil change

What viscosity u use? Any brand recommendations?

i just stick with yamaha fully black 10W-40 (the one on post#1)

brands aside, i think changing periodically is more important

best is to follow the manual, also depends on your riding style

Manual states every 2k. Currently using mineral and change every 2k. Wondering if use fully can extend the interval or not, hmm.

perhaps you can try changing to fully and see if there is any difference in daily ride

if not much difference then probably can switch back to mineral?

but if really sayang engine pakai fully lor
