îHealthy engine: The engine is the lifeline of every vehicle. To keep it healthy, it should be
tuned regularly, which will also help reduce pollution and improve vehicle performance &
fuel efficiency.
îFuel Saving & Reduce Pollution: Switch "OFF" the engine while waiting at traffic signal
points to save fuel and reduce pollution, if the waiting period is long.
îGenuine Spares: Always insist on Hero MotoCorp genuine parts as spurious or
incompatible spares and accessories can upset or deteriorate your motorcycle’s running
condition.
îGenuine engine oil: Hero 4T Plus SAE 10W 30 SL grade (JASO MA2) engine oil
recommended by Hero MotoCorp and make sure you change it every 6000 km. (with
top up every 3000 kilometres) to keep the engine fit and environment healthy.

mufflers, excessive noise will cause headaches and discomfort.
îEmission Pollution: Get emission of your motorcycle checked by Authorised agencies
atleast once every 3 months or as notified by the government from time to time.
îRegular Servicing: Get your motorcycle serviced at an Authorised Hero MotoCorp
