The company can not force us to use any particular brand. That becomes a restrictive trade practice, and could attract legal action as far as my understanding goes. They only give specifications of the oil to be used and we need to adhere to that, for the health and well being of our bike's engines. P150 ES (my bike - beta model) had the specification as 'JASO - MA'' grade. We need to ensure that the oil that the bike uses conforms to that or higher (though a higher one would essentially be of no use, as the engine by design would not be able to take much advantage of the higher qualities). It could be of any brand. Look up the instruction manual. It will show you which grade of oil one needs to use for your bike.
