- Simplified is a new series on PowerDrift that aims to make automotive concepts, technology and ideas as easy to understand as possible. These short videos take the questions you have and clear the air around the what, how, why and when. This time, we're talking about engine oil. They all look the same, but they all do not work the same! It's important to read the specification of the oil and make sure it's right for your machine! Shumi breaks it down for you.

Do another episode on tyres too
@@theman-to4jo coming soon!
@Anirudh katkar idea noted! Thank you!
Every other bike review I watch they go on talking about "fueling", like how it is good on this engine or its bad & bla bla bla... I don't understand a bit.
All I know is for most efficiency engine should run on stoichiometric ratio of air to fuel (14.7:1).
So, what exactly is bad fueling?? Is it the engine is running lean or rich?
I believe the factory settings would be perfect as no manufacturer will get it wrong since they do so much R&D.
Please educate me.😅
@@chinmayanand1960 idea noted! The short version is that 14.7:1 is the ideal ratio and engines try to stick close but don’t always. Economy, performance and emissions requirements influence the actual mixture selection.
Do one Video on different engine configuration. Like Inline 4 , Inline 3, Parallel twin, flat twin, V4, V2 and their impact on ride quality.
Good idea!
Read about internal combustion engines, it will give you all the answers you need because it's more than just the configuration of the piston and cylinder, you have to take into account all the moving parts from the crankshaft to the time and area of opening of the intake valve and exhaust valve. It'll probably take power drift more than one episode to explain the above in detail!
@Saloni Shetty Isn't the whole point of the "Simplified" series for us to not go and read about these complicated things? 😐
Its out today
They do listen
This is amazing! Simplified to the crux 👍
P.S: Next time you can also discuss on the unsaturated fats and cholesterol content in oils 😁
Ahahahahahahahahahaah! Done! 🤣
@The Sportztourer Your videos are much better.
😂
Boy after seeing your videos this video doesn't make sense
Are oil guru aap yaha
Please simplify the issue of spark plugs, iridium vs normal, and also the topic of brake fluid too.
Idea noted! Thanks!
Generally this is manufacturer specified, and I haven’t seen any performance improvement with a same-spec iridium or platinum spark plug. But they last longer. 100,000km vs 20,000km
It's soo satisfying to hear shumi's Voice 😂
This man taught me more english than my english lecturer!!
I would like to see a video on a basic service which we need to do and most of the people do on street garage or mechanics and what all we need to take care of.
If you want to DIY service, simply look at your owner's manual, there will be components to change according to kms driven,generally street garage change engine oil, clean spark, clean or replace air filter, clean drum brakes, brake pad, and replace if any part is bad
Am I the only one to notice that the caption is HILLARIOUS!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
" Get your beloved the right oil!"
PD vids never disappoints.🤘🤘
Everyone is first till they refresh 😉
First reply!
@@shu_mar ih ih😏😌
Show us how to adjust chain slack! Most service centres are not doing it right and it causes damage to the transmission /drive lash.
Idea noted! Thanks!
Simple and clear explanation.. this is what sets @shumi apart from all others
Thanks!
"Power and Torque" in your words would make a great deal and certainly be "simplified".
Thank You PD & Shumi ! Keep Bringing Such Genre of Informative Videos ❤️
Cheers! Would you share this with your friends? It would really help us!
This series is such a good idea! Kudos to the team and obviously to Professor Shumi! 🎉 🥳
Can't miss Prof. Shumi's lectures.
Ahahahahahahaha! Full marks!
Lucid and to the point explanation....Shumi...👏
1) Does brand really has an impact or any brand oil with same grade is good enough?
2) Next topic may be discussed in Simplified: Engine Flush(are they really important), CDI functioning, Basic Bike maintenance simplified
2/ thanks for the ideas!
1/ they do. The Putoline EsterTec for example, made my KTM run a bit smoother. But the key thing is “a bit”. It’s not something I’d spend a lot of effort or money to achieve.
The way he simply explained viscosity with the water and honey example. Shumi would have been a great teacher if not a journalist!
Please do provide us with a video about the cooling systems in motorcycle engines. Like air cooling, air-oiled cooling etc. Thank you in advance.
In the synthetic vs. mineral oil duscussion, please throw some light on the following points:
1. What is engine flushing?
2. Need for carrying it out.
3. Is it recommended for high mileage engines?
Thanks.

Consider an oil grade ,say 15w35
U can always increase the 35 to 40 as well as decrease the 15 to 10
But never decrease from 35 or increase from 15.
Nice video, thanks 😊👍
Have a q: In india we have temp easily crossing 40c. But why a manufacturer for ex. for TVS Apache, recommends a 10W30 grade? Shouldn't it be 10W50 or something??
Yes my honda hornet recommended grade is 10w30 but i put in motul fully synthetic 10w40 or even one time i did put in 20w40 ..in summers its really good quite drastic change..but in winter it takes time to lubricate engine parts.
10w 50 is right for most parts of india according to climate.
Was waiting for synthetic vs mineral comparison until u said next episode 😁
The thing to remember is even after right grade, the oils perform different.
Like less vibes with a different company whereas better mileage with the other one.
Yes. But in my experience, the difference is not so significant that this needs to be debated hotly or a lot of effort needs to go into finding ‘the best oil’
@@shu_mar yes exactly, it needs to be researched alot but some youtubers like the sportztourer makes videos on these subjects.
@@ParthRastogi Exactly. My point is that the amount of money/time I’d spend researching this? I’d rather ve out riding the bike instead 😁
@@shu_mar or maybe buy another one 😆
Heyy team, just a suggestion- keep the background music a bit low...it's a bit over powering thanks
as soon as you told "in the next episode", I was like dang it 😅
Nevertheless, thank you for sharing these details in such a simplified way!
Ahahahahahaha! Gotcha! Thanks!
@@shu_mar still waiting for synthetic vs semi vs nrml oil video
i would love to watch Shumi sir explaining the complex topic but ofcourse in a "simplified" manner...
Do we need to strictly adhere to time-based oil change intervals as opposed to distance based ones? If for example one of my motorcycles (or for that matter cars) has not run much in a year, due to say, work from home for over a year, do I really need to change the oil? Does oil "go bad" over time while sitting inside the oil sump, unused? Of course the service center pushes for timely service, coz they want their revenues flowing. What does the data say though? If the oil on the dipstick looks and feels okay, it should be okay, right? Or am I missing something?
Would love to see you answer this in one of your future videos.
Absolutely love your work. Cheers!
Great series and a good video, although I disagree on some points about oil grade.
I tend to run a slightly thicker oil than recommended if you don’t have variable lift valves or hydraulically actuated injector pumps. Generally thin oil is specified to meet emission & fuel economy numbers, and I’ve seen same models recommended different oils in different countries with the same climate - eg. Nissan Navara in Australia vs NZ.
Also thin oil circulates quicker at cold starts and purges cam phasers, turbo lube, etc. If you let your engine warm up for 30 seconds before you move and get to operating temperature before you trash it (like you should), you’ll get away with using a slightly more viscous oil which will lubricant better.
That was awesome sir. &
I would love to hear you on the combination of torque, Bhp and and size (cc). How different combinations affects the performance.
Short, simple, informative ..way to go PD army. 🏍️
Please do one video on ABS, single channel ABS and dual channel ABS.. many people still think ABS means their bike will stop faster..
Idea noted! Excellent suggestion!
so if u cant find any engine oil while stuck on road then can coconut oil other vegetable oil be used?
Japani oil can also be used
@@tathagatasarkar8072 that's must😂😂
@@tathagatasarkar8072 bike dar korea debe 😂😂😂
Sure! Just don’t use it on the bike. 🤣
Good explanation in simple way. Waiting for synthetic oil episode.
Thanks!
Sir I think one topic we should discuss about are turbo chargers. Are they good or bad for cars??? How to take good care of a turbo chargers in the car???? What are do's and do not's???Are they really needed in today's age???? It can be a two part series, if you want it to be.
Difference is very huge when you upgrade to synthetic oil
I agree to what Shumi sir says. But I feel for my dominar the Motul engine made a lot of difference than the conventional TOTAL engine oil which Bajaj used
sumi's voice is just pure bliss
Can you give information about ester blends in oils ? Appreciate the content great work 👍
Shumi is that teacher, not the teacher we deserved, but the teacher we needed 😂❤🙊✌🏼
Is tyre upsizing really worth it? or is it more harm than good? That's what I'd like to know.
Shumi is that teacher we didn't get in school
I'm absolutely loving this series, keep going PD ❤️
Beloved… oil? Get it? Epic title!😂
Much needed! Thank you so much PD!
How to choose aftermarket brake pads? Which are recommended .
Yes do about engine types
A good informative video. Waiting for a detailed video on mineral, synthetic based & fully synthetic oils.
Soon! Thanks for watching
A video on Compression ratios pleaseee
Just get whatever is written on the manual. The brand of the oil really doesn't matter.
If you are going to beat the thing on the racetrack all the time in the summer then obviously you'll have to use a different grade.
Outstanding as always .. too lucid demonstration ..hats off
Slowly mr. Shumi turning into byju's teacher
Concept clearing was really nice.
Background music not required
I would really like to know the difference between engine braking and rev matching and if there's any advantage in rev matching... As always, the videos are awesome ❤️
Slipper clutch & quick shifter as a topic. I see these two specs percolating to mass motorbikes.
Viscosity may not be inversely proportional to Velocity ©
When it comes to Bajaj Dominar the stock engine oil is actually pretty bad. Can you do a video on this
Bajaj oils always suck..
Please make a video explaining advantages & disadvantages of spoked wheels and alloy wheels
Great idea! Thanks!
Can we have one video on road fines, mulcts and challans for two wheelers too?
Can you turn down the background music it's overpowering professor's voice
Can We Get a Series For maintaining and taking care of Different Parts of our Bikes?
Idea noted! Thanks!
@@shu_mar thank You sir!🙏
This should be added to any bike group's description , lol !
Please make a video on : Should people who have driven cars only, try to ride bikes?
The only issue with this video is “the suppressed sound”🤪. Need to increase device volumes upto 60-70% to just hear it properly.
@shumi - again great one and thanks for the useful information.
Which spark plugs are better ?
Please make a video to simplify headlights and headlights mods for motorcycles.
Difference between tubed and tubeless tires?
Best bike for everyday use and sometimes weekend rides?
Hey Shumi! This is really very Informative👍👍👍👍👍. Well I have a doubt that which type of engine oil should be used in high performance cars like Chevrolet Cruze is it fully synthetic engine oil or semi-synthetic engine oil and which mark it should be whether it is 5w30 or 5w40?
Whatever the manual says!
@@shu_mar OK. Thanks
Very informative! Please speak about different tyre types and how to best choose ur tyre.
Hey nice information 🙂👌please give information on difference between normal petrol ⛽vs power petrol or speed petrol ⛽
Thanks!
Thats really a nice vedio sir . Explained in short . Which grade oil do u prefer for pulsar 220 sir ? Since as u know engine gets heated up too early where its of air coold system .
Come Very Soon with 3 types of Oils.
Make a video on brake oil grade like dot 3 or dot 4.what are the differences and its implications.
I want to know about Slipper and assist clutch. Any future EP about this would be very helpful !!
Idea noted! Thanks!
What are correct rpm to ride/drive for each gears, early morning how much time should I wait before moving
Please talk about suspension and it’s setup :)
So actually there is no engine oil which can improve the performance significantly. But can it make an engine smoother??
Better oils will do both. But in small quantities. Not going to be a major miracle
Didn't cover normal and fully synthetic oil, ester based oil?
Glad you made a video on this topic
Now i don't think i would be the first one asking this...but is it possible for Shumi sir to make a video on CUBIC CAPACITY as most of the people are still in a dilemma that more the cc more the power...
Thank u sir...u r best
Still waiting for video on mineral/semi-synthetic/synthetic engine oils.
Thank you Sir.. Very well explained 👍 Cheers!
Informative 👍
Awesome PD ♥️
Get my beloved the right oil?
That will be 'Dabur Amla hair oil for strong, long and thick hair'.😉
If I don't run my bike/scooty much then do i need to change the engine oil every year? Or engine oil is good to go till you complete those 5000/10000 kms (irrespective of the time) ?
Petrol next
Means?
Science accepted, but the majority of the doubt i guess is whether it is advisable to go for aftermarket than company recommended.
In an emergency, is it ok to mix mineral and synthetic engine oil?
Hey, Thanks. Now i can understand better
Can i use 20w50 in xpulse 200?
What does your manual say?
@@shu_mar 10w30 .... You already told to stick to user manual 🙏🏻.... Thanks a lot 😇
Thank you Shumi for the great piece of information !!
Cheers!
@@shu_mar @powerdrift Please cover Tyres and thread count system in one of your episodes and what those values mean and different tyres as per the use. thank you
high octane petrol for superbkes
Makes them run better for sure! But check if it needs it - usually there’s a label on the tank
@@shu_mar thank you sir
Depends on the compression ratio.. typically superbikes have high ratios and need high octane fuels..it doesn't make any difference on a typical apache or hornet bike other than you shelling out extra money.
Which is best engine oil for royal Enfield 350 ?
Much needed knowledge 🔥🔥🔥
So the 10w30 is useless, where the day temperature goes above 35°c? ..... In summer 20w50 will give better performance ?
No. The 10W is crucial if you’re at low ambient temps and helps cold starts etc. but the other number is oil grade/viscosity at engine’s operating temp. Changing the grade to a thicker one only makes the engine’s oil pump work harder. The manufacturer has already factored in the high ambient temperature situation - just stick to the grade in the user manual
@@shu_mar thanks a lot 🙏🏻
Some information regarding ENGINE OIL ADDITIVE are they any good?
Why are commuter bikes more comfortable as compared to a cruiser? Even the confidence on cruiser is less
