Hi Guys. I have been trying to look for this topic but I couldn't seem to find it. I'm sorry if this is/was a redundant topic. Anyhow, I have a scooter. It's a Kymco Super 8. Which means the transmission is separate. It has a CVT.
The manual says to use API:SG which as far as I can tell is already obsolete.
Just acquired this about a month ago, And I am still trying to break it in using MOTOMAN'S break-in method. I am currently using API-SM MOBIL SUPER XHP 15W-40 mineral oil. But I've been reading and it a lot of sites said that API:SM is not good for air-cooled engines.
I guess the question is what I can I substitute for an API:SG? Or should I just continue using API:SM oils?
My oil change is due this week.
I am so tempted to use our Valvoline All Fleet Premium Heavyu Duty Diesel Engine Oil 15W-40 API" CI-4/SL. I've read guys using Delo.
I would use motorcycle oils, But in our area, the only motorcycle oils available are 20w50, and good brands are hard to come about. Automotive oil has absolutely no availability problems.
