TVS Sport BS6 is among the most affordable and reliable two-wheelers with self-start available in the Indian market. Initially launched in 2007, it received updates in 2015 and 2017 as per the market demand. Its reliability, affordable maintenance, and attractive colour options have driven its mass-market appeal globally.
The motorcycle has bagged multiple awards and has been ranked No. 1 among economy-segment motorcycles in the JD Power PEAL study 2015 & 2017. It was also honoured with “The Most Appealing Economy Motorcycle” during that time.
Powertrain
The underpinning of TVS Sport is a 110 cc single-cylinder motor. The secret behind this extremely refined engine is the “Roller Cam Follower Technology” that excels in reducing friction, burns less fuel and ultimately puts less stress on the engine.
However, to further reduce the friction, you should use TVS engine bike oil that has been formulated to effectively lubricate the moving parts and reduce the damaging friction that hampers performance. It also prevents the build-up of sludge which can clog narrow oil passages in the engine.
Best Engine Oil for TVS Sport?
For a reliable workhorse such as TVS Sport, the engine needs a versatile engine oil that ensures excellent lubrication along with reduced friction and seal gap for efficient performance. For such requirements, TVS Motor recommends TVS TRU4 Premium Oil (SA 10W-30, API SL JASO MA2) for TVS Sport BS6.
TVS TRU4 (10W30) is a two-wheeler engine oil which comes with highly purified water white and a higher viscosity index base oil. Extensive R&D has gone into achieving a specialized additive chemistry for higher gear durability. The “10W” makes sure you get smooth cold starts and minimal ignition wear at any temperature, and the “30” ensures the required viscosity at operating temperature. Also, one of the key advantages of this oil is that it is compatible with various petrol engines.

The first number “w” (10W, 15W & 5W) denotes how the engine will perform during ignition in cold conditions and the second number/digit indicates the viscosity or the flow of oil at ideal ignition temperature. Each engine is designed for a specific viscosity and at a normal operating temperature.
Benefits of TRU4 Premium Oil
• Lower exhaust emission
• Smoother clutch operation
• Seamless gear shifts
• Enhanced Fuel efficiency on prolonged usage
• Protection against rust and oxidation
• Improved sludge control
Furthermore, the low viscosity of this engine oil is beneficial in cold temperatures. Since the oil is thinner, it flows more easily and quickly. During ignition, the engine oil must travel to the head of the engine which means that the engine oil needs to move quickly while maintaining low viscosity. Most importantly, the oil must retain the ideal thickness to maintain a thin film and keep the parts separated for ideal lubrication.
TVS TRU4 Oil strikes this delicate balance with ease; it flows well inside the engine and also retains density in higher temperatures to keep metal parts lubricated. It is the best engine oil recommended by the company for TVS Sport and other TVS motorcycles in similar segments.
