They once did that of a friend since January ND he is still using it till now I remembered the guy bought comp ND condenser then to so I'm thinking if I change all that to the system sud become perfect and this leaking sud vanish

They said they will check the dashboard then also ND flush the system also

No need to do both unless both are damaged. Shops usually tell you to change both when they don't know what the actual problem is. Sure it fixes the problem but why pay so much. Get a third opinion. And before you buy any parts, have someone competent run a uv dye and/or stop leak. Dye will detect the leak and stop leak might fix your problem if it's a small leak.

Why not go for th specification written in the manual and also on the engine Cap which is 5w20

That's what I use tho I can't see what the manufacturer wrote with Ambient temperature and then go ahead and get something a bit different

Tho I told the guy about the dye stuff when I went there and he was like does that still work anymore...but however he proved to me that one seal or so has broken in the compressor ND that's why it's leaking oil or so ND said it could v been caused by condenser been block or something ND he said I need to change both

If he's asking that question you seriously need another opinion.

1997 Honda bullet is one of the strongest cars produced by Honda, its rugged, low fuel consumption and can withstand abuse very well. The only con I see about the car is that it has a low ground level clearance except if you get a good mechanic to raise the suspensions for you or you live in a place where the road is not that bad. Asides this, the car is a good one, you won't regret buying it at all. Good Luck �

Often times, our people complain that the genuine DW1 is expensive and rightly so, considering the state of the economy, our pockets don't often sustain our desires. So the need for cheaper options comes into play and cheapest and most decent option for such fluid is Dextron III, though a temporary measure which needs to be replaced often.
