Oil Recommendations for Lance Havana Classic 125

[The Critic]

I am unfamiliar with options in the Motorcycle Market.

Unit: Lance Havana Classic 125cc

Owner’s Manual Recommendation:

Engine Oil: Genuine 4X, API SH/CD SAE 10W-30
Transmission Oil: Genuine Hypoid Gear Oil 85W-140

I found plenty of engine oil choices but very few choices for transmission oil.

What does the group recommend?

I had to look at the owners manual on that out of curiosity. Oil changes every 620 miles? They want you to use a 10W30 synthetic for the engine. 85W140 conventional gear oils exist and I wouldn't get picky about finding a boutique or even a popular brand synthetic in that weight. Valvoline makes a 75W140 synthetic that would work fine unless you gotta worry about a warranty denial. But if that was my scooter, I would use Napa conventional 85W140 in it.
