If your motorcycle has a separate oil tank, you have to just fill the tank. In case of a premix system 20 ml of HP RACER 2 LOW SMOKE is to be added with every litre of petrol.

If your two - wheeler has a 2 - stroke engine it may either have a premix system or a separate oil injection system. In the former, you are required to mix lubricating oil while filling petrol in a particular proportion. Whereas in case of a separate oil injection system, you have to simply fill the lube tank and there is an in - built unit in your vehicle which controls the flow of oil in petrol.

Your 2 - wheeler is having a 2 - stroke engine inside it, which works differently from a 4 - stroke engine present in a car or truck. Truck and car engine oils contain ZDDP, which results in higher deposits and spark plug fouling. High ash content lead to pre - ignition due to combustion deposits Single grade oils are viscous, which result in deposits & smoke. Truck and car engine oils do not contain a solvent, which is required for a 2 - stroke engine because it has to mix with petrol.

In order to combat the serious pollution caused by a very large number of two wheelers in the country, the Ministry of Environment and Forests vide a Gazette Notification has stipulated the minimum level of 2 stroke engine oil as JASO FC and API TC, which is a Low Smoke Oil.

JASO is Japanese Automobile Standard Organization and JASO FC is a specification issued by them for 2 - stroke 2 - wheeler oils. Over the years, a specification issued by JASO has gained importance because of its special emphasis on controlling smoke.

It is important to keep the engine oil at the correct level, to ensure proper lubrication of your vehicle's engine. Check the oil level with the vehicle on a level surface. The oil level indication may be inaccurate if the vehicle is on a slope. The oil level should be checked either before starting the engine, or at least two or three minutes after stopping the engine. Pull out the oil dipstick, wipe off oil with a clean cloth, insert the dipstick all the way into the engine, and then remove it again. The oil on the stick should be between the upper and lower limits shown on the stick. If the oil level indication is near the lower limit add enough oil to rise to the upper limit.

Drain the engine oil when the engine is still warm. You should change the engine oil at intervals recommended in your vehicle manual. Remove the oil filler cap. Place a drain pan under the drain plug. Using the correct spanner remove the drain plug and drain out the engine oil. The engine oil temperature may be high enough to burn your fingers when the drain plug is loosened. Wait until the drain plug is cool enough to touch with your bare hands. If possible, wear moisture proof gloves. Recycle or properly dispose of used oil as a good citizen.

It is impossible to run any engine with out a lubricant. An engine oil does many jobs as given under and is the secret behind the longevity of your car engine.

Complete flushing and renewal of your engine coolant should occur at least every two years. Once every year engine coolant changes are desirable, if concentration is not well maintained. Most car engines have a coolant system which requires a glycol based coolant mixed with water. The glycol base acts as an anti - freeze and maintains the physical characteristics of coolant, which continuously protects your engine parts from corrosion and damage. The concentration of HP Koolgard in water should be minimum 30%, or as per vehicle manufacturer's recommendation, so as to attain complete protection.

Please check: Keep a close watch on radiator hose and fittings. A damaged radiator hose or a loose fitting may result in leakage and overheating. Check the pressure of the radiator cap. Keep observing the change in colour of water being drained from the radiator; it can give you an indication of your engine's health.
