Synthetic Oil dealers address needed!!

Raajiv · 2nd February 2007, 18:35

Folks,

My VICTOR GL (2002) has clocked 30k.Now,i am running Castrol Active Power1.Planning to shift to fully Synthetic oil such as elf or Mobil1.But,i am unable to find any dealer having stock of Synthetic oils.So,anyone pleae provide me with the address.

Also i have one more query,is engine flush necessarily needed?Don't bash me for asking such a question on Team-BHP.(Since,Castrol Activ Power1 is semi-synthetic).What are the brands having engine flush and what are the run-in methods when using engine - flush.Please help

synthetic oil is not recommended for Indian bikes.what I have heard is,they cause clutch slippage.Better stick to semi-synthetic like power1.
