Hi, i need to change my Gearbox oil in my Keeway Zahara 125, as it has the Chinese fluid in and i want to put some decent fluid in. Now my manual is a bit hit and miss on the details of what to use as the translation is crap. It says I need Gear Oil of grade GL-5 grade 85W/  . Now i cant seem to find 85W/ anywhere, the closest i can find is the one below. Will this be ok to put in the scooter or not? link |

Source: 11yrs as an industrial maintenance mechanic working on many types of gearboxes. Basically any low viscosity, "sticky" oil will work for these gearboxes... to thick though and it can cause problems. Don't put 150 in there because it is to thick and will make the motor work harder. |

By 150 I assume you mean something like 80w/150. Like I've seen for sale too!
