How many times have you bought from VR Global Trading?
Confirm original?

Tempted to buy Shell Helix Ultra 5w30/ 5w40 also as overall ratings are quite good.

I've made 2 orders so far with VR Global Trading. 1st order was Motul 7100 and Sprinta F900. Then got big discount so I bought Liqui Moly, Silkolene Pro, Mapetrol and Sprinta F900 again.

I don't know original or not. The Motul I bought from Hollywood Motorsport had the QR code that was authenticated by the app, but the Motul I bought from VR Global don't have the QR code.

But so far I've used the Sprinta F900 and I'm currently using the Motul 7100. Very smooth and acceleration very sedap.

Sprinta F900 and Motul 7100 both very smooth?
*
Sprinta F900 very smooth up to 2000km after that noticeably less smooth. Changed it around 2500km. 10W40 (from Petronas official store) and 10W50 (from VR Global) felt the same.

The Motul I bought from Hollywood Motosport that had the QR code was the H-Tech. This one was smooth all the way to 3000km.

Currently testing the Motul 7100 bought from VR Global (no QR code). If ester blend doesn't feel smooth up to 3000km, I'll go back to H-Tech.

But out of the 3, I feel 7100 gives the best acceleration. My 135LC has been flying.

I see. I might try sprinta f900 then. Buy from petrol station very expensive?
*
Price difference more than RM20.

Last time I bought Shell Power from petrol station because Grab gives discount to riders. Then Shell increased the price by RM20 so I started buying from Shopee. I've been using EO bought from Shopee for about 50,000km including your Bold EO. That day I thought your Bold EO broke my engine. Turns out the carburetor needed cleaning. After cleaning everything feels ok. Fingers crossed.

Lol jangan la salahkan the Bold EO  blush.gif

So how are u going to rate all the engine oil u tried? Or some couldnt feel any difference?
Can give me the link of the Sprinta F700 to buy?
*
I still have 1L Bold 15w50. I guess I should give it another try since the dirty carburetor might have affected the performance. But the 10w40 really only smooth until 1000km and then starts feeling rough. I tried that one long before the carburetor needed cleaning.

Sprinta F900 and Shell Power seems to be OOS in their respective Shopee Official Stores. Go petrol station buy I guess.

Ratings:

Yamalube - Shiiiiieeeet... Sometimes smooth sometimes rough. Only reason I'm willing to use this oil until 2500km is because of the Yamaha brand. Used this oil for like my bike's first 40,000km then I realized Grab gave discount for Shell EO.

Bold - First 100km gear change from 2nd to 3rd felt rough after that ok. Engine feel smooth up to 1,000km then it starts to feel rough. I don't dare use past 1,500km. Quickly change it when hit 1,500km.

Shell Long Ride - Really smooth all the way to 3,000km like the back of the bottle promises. But acceleration is lacking. When I pull the throttle the bike doesn't respond immediately. I can feel the engine spinning up but it's not translating to acceleration.

Shell Power - the first EO that convinced me EO can make acceleration better. It's been a while since I used this because it got expensive so I decided to try other brands like Petronas and Motul.

Sprinta F900 - Smooth up to 2,000km then it starts feeling less smooth. Acceleration better than Shell Long Ride I guess.

Motul H-Tech - Smooth all the way to 3,000km and acceleration better than Shell Long Ride.

Motul 7100 - Currently testing. Already more than 1,000km. Smoothness started to feel inconsistent after 1,000km but I feel the acceleration is the best out of all the EO I've used.

Actually I'm thinking of changing my oils to our local Malaysia brand Hipro.
I wanna try their best oil Hipro VeltorQ V9 5w40 ester + Pao oil for my civic type R
and their motoz M9 10w40 ester + Pao for my ninja.
Apparently their motor oil very well accepted in Bangladesh but not in Malaysia.
*
Their 4T price same with Motul H-Tech sold by Hollywood Motorsports (got QR code). But Hipro promo buy 1 free 1 mineral oil lol.

I dont know la if what they claimed is real or not. I have a bottle from Mesra like I explained. The seal has hologram and also the color+smell is also different. The shopee seller even show me a letter from a Petronas distributor claiming new batch no hologram seal but I dont accept their excuses. Also the bottle packaging from Mesra is hard plastic unlike the one from lazada and shopee which is really soft.

I bought it to try because my dad passed me a W212 which has some harden seals or what... consuming engine oil like shit. Fixed it lately so no more such problem. Maybe will buy from Mesra again...

My mechanic said the Motul 7100 I bought from VR Global Trading looks and smells the same as original. Same color. I don't think color proves authenticity. It can be a difference in the dye.

VR Global Trading claims some got QR code some don't have depending on the country's distributor that they import from. Tak tau la.

What is ur change interval for shell long ride? Bottle mentioned can go up to 6k, possible?

Been ushing shell advance ultra for my kapcai, changing every 4k. Thinking to use long ride to push it to 6k.
*
Wow. I don't dare push until 4k even. I changed every 3k. The bottle said 6k but with a star saying under specific conditions but they never clarify what are the conditions. Makes me feel Shell doesn't guarantee you can push until 6k. Anyway if you wanna push until 6k, make sure you do it with a new oil filter la. 135LC manual says oil filter only last 2 oil changes or 6k.

Now not using Long Ride anymore. Been testing out various brands sold by VR Global Trading. Mapetrol Premium Power Ester was damn smooth. I will buy it again next round.

My oil filter memang change every oil change. So far I tested shell advance ultra and casltrol ultimate power 1, both can reach 4k without issue. Looking for other oil to change now to try.
*
Castrol good? Saw it on VR Global Trading, thinking about trying.


Also my 135LC joined the 100k club already, so I really really don't dare to push EO past 3k anymore.

6k mileage is long for a bike la, especially kapcai somemore. Check your bike manual la, kapcai usually recommended 4k only.

Also, need see both manual and oil. Bike manual say 4k, u go follow oil 6k..dont later need push bike cry cry go bengkel.
*
135LC manual says 3k.
