PCX150 Honda, What oil to use?

[dole]

Mannual states 10W-30, MB, SL.

My riding behaviour: short daily urban trips 10-20km with occasional long-haul tour up to 5000 miles.

I am thinking using Mobil 0W-30, but concern it may not provide enough protection for intense driving, therefore lean towards 0W-40.

So, which one is better?

I put about 5000 miles on a PCX 150. I ran Amsoil SS 10w30 and it purred like a kitten the whole time.

Either of these oils will work beautifully. Are they easily available in China?

You can buy Mobil 1 0W-30 AFE in China?

 

[dole]

Yes, sir.
both available in China, actually two versions, one domestic the other imported from US, Japan, Singapore and Europe. Too many choices.

Hello, sir
not sure about AFE, but 0W-30 is certainly available here, local Mobil or imported from all over the world.

It may not be called "AFE" there, the only Mobil 1 0W-30 sold here is labeled as "Advanced Fuel Economy" (AFE).
