First I want to mount a 2 quart oil tank under the seat. Next I would buy a connector that threads into the oil drain under the CVT , and buy a connector that takes the place of the dipstick. I would have to buy a small oil pump and connect it to the hose coming from the CVT side drain " I'd probably put a one way valve on this line close to the CVT side drain " . the pump would pull the oil out of the crank case , up through the one way valve , then the oil make its way into the tank . the oil input on the tank will be on top of the tank , but I would have the line run to the bottom of the tank on the inside , so the oil enters the tank in the bottom. The output would also be on top of the tank . the oil would be forced out of the tank as the the oil enters. From there the oil will drain into the crank case through the dipstick port. Doing it this way ensures the exact amount of oil that is pumped from the tank enters the tank at the same time. I would install a shutoff valve about 2 inches up from the dipstick port so it makes it easy to check oil level and change and add oil. You would first fill the crank case with the normal amount of oil , then fill the oil tank . the one way valve will ensure no oil drains back into the tank when the scoot shuts down . here is a n illustration.
My theory about the oil tank : these gy6 engines take less then a quart of oil to fill the crank case. While the engine fires , it heats up , therefore heating the oil . adding a 2 quart oil tank and having the almost 3 quarts rotating constantly should keep the oil and engine significantly cooler. Because now the engine will have to heat about 3 quarts instead of about 1.
