What kind of oil do you use in your scooter?

RockyRaccoon · 10-02-2005, 09:48 PM

Dino or synth?

Just wanted to go on record with the first oil thread in the scooter forum! No forum is complete without one!

Castrol TTS synth (yes it works in autolube)

1) it has a cool pour spout
2) it's purdy blue

Why do I like blue oil?

Because Vespa said that when I use red oil (like Amsoil Dominator), the oil sight tube thingy on my bike looks like a dog wang.

Ha ha. I ruin it for everybody.

PS: I use the stuff that's on sale. If I'm feeling extravagant, I'll run Newman's Own Italian Salad Dressing.

God, I bet that makes for some stanky exhaust!

I believe, by his own admission, that a Vespa will run on a combination of mayonnaise and Charlie perfure.

He's right.

Wow, a 6 year old thread.

I saw a YouTube vid where they tried to kill a Honda Super Cub 90 by running old, nasty deep fryer oil in it. They weren't successful. Cub still ran. Smelled like a 40 year old Burger King kitchen, but still ran.

LOL - That's a good vid. All the pizza boxes falling over and dropping it off the roof.
Pretty tough scoot!

In the Chinese scooter, Walmart brand oil.
In the Big Ruckus, Honda GN4.
In my trucks, whatever is cheapest of the 5qt containers at Walmart.
