Petronas Sprinta 4T 2000 review
Written by: Yogesh July 17th, 2008Petronas Sprinta 4T 2000 is a SAE 20W-50 API SG mineral engine oil for four stroke motorcycles.
According to Petronas, Sprinta 4T 2000 provides:
- Excellent engine and transmission protection from excessive wear.
- Superior engine cleanliness - ensures low engine wear, prolongs component life and maintains high power output.
- Excellent engine protection - prolongs engine life and reduces maintenance cost.
- Smooth gearshift and clutch performance - ensures smooth ride.
To test this claim, we decided to test this engine oil in a Bajaj Pulsar 180 for a little over 1500kms. The test run included normal city stints and couple of highway runs, including a twenty two and a half hour, 780km long Himalayan Ride.
Petronas Sprinta 4T 2000 managed to perform decently even under such severe stress and no clutch slippage or engine overheating was noticed during the commuting or touring mode. Gearshifts for most part were smooth and engine didn’t at all feel harsh.
For an engine oil which costs Rs. 165/liter, it is definitely a good performer and should be a good choice for people whose motorcycles (Bajaj Pulsar 180/220) require 20w50 grade engine oils.
