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? |

Welcome to ScootDawg & Congrats on the new ride.
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. |
