Oil to use
 
I bought a roketa 250, should get it today or tommorow. I have read not to use syntetic oils, so I bought regualer 15-40. Today I was told by a biker friend to only use syntetic and he doesnt know why I would ever use regualr oil.

Question, why or why not use syntetic oil?

Hi
Welcome aboard
Pleased to meet you
Most of us use dino oil for the 4t engine break in period , to let the rings seat in properly and so as not to have minor leaks
After that we use synthetic
When you get your scoot do a full PDI, its the proper way to a happy scoot with a long life

Welcome to ScootDawg & Congrats on the new ride. :cheers:
Some scooter dealers will void your warranty if you use synthetic oil.

As I said in another thread, I only use Rotella T 15w-40 in all my toys and cars.

I did Dyno for the break in, and now nothing but synthetic.
