Honda Launches ENEOS Engine Oil For Two-wheelers

• Priced at a premium over Mak lubricant engine oil, launched in October last year.
• The ‘Scooterz oil’, for scooters, costs Rs 286 for a 800ml pack.
• The ‘Bikerz oil’, for bikes, costs Rs 272 for an 800ml pack.
• This is a mineral-based oil.

In association with JX Nippon Two lubricants, Honda Motorcycles & Scooters India (HMSI) has launched the 'ENEOS Honda Engine Oil' for scooters and motorcycles. While the ENEOS Honda BIKERZ OIL is priced at Rs 272 (800ml pack) and Rs 341 (1L pack), the ENEOS Honda SCOOTERZ OIL costs Rs 286 for an 800ml pack. The company had also partnered with MAK Lubricants back in October 2018 to launch more affordable options at Rs 299 for 800ml (scooters) and Rs 278 for 900ml (motorcycles) packs. Coming out with 800ml packs is a welcome move as small-capacity engines don't need more than that. The usually available 1-litre packs led to a lot of wastage.

Here's the official statement from the company -
