First, learn how to write with some correct sentences, because its hard to understand what are you trying to say, second, the all difference between a cheap oil and a good one is a couple of $, but some people (i assume you are one of those) are too cheap to spend $2 extra for some quality product that makes the engine run better and longer (that comes from advices from mechanics, not from you or me), third, you show me a scooter that run fine with cheap oil, and i show you 100,000 that died very young because of that (I guess you are like that guy that is sure that smoking doesn't cause cancer, because his father smoked his entire life and didn't get it...). forth, the horse can be a $10 one or a $100000, it doesn't matter, because its the the one that seat in the saddle, and you can be sure i am not that cheap to have mine seat in an uncomfortable $10 saddle, regardless of the horse.

The Max Cycle runs about $17 a quart in most auto parts stores.

The first scoot I had was a 150cc with a lot of mods and I sold it after putting over 25,000 miles on it. I sold it because I really needed cash at the time. I used nothing but the RP Max Cycle.id never switch to another brand.

there are a number of things that destroys oil.
1. condensation. this is the number one reason why short trips (to the store and back) are so hard on your oil.
2. combustion by-products. not a real problem unless you have other problems with it (bad rings, etc).
3. metal particles. these are mostly filtered but the tiniest particles get through and these are the problem.
seeing as these scoots use so little oil for an oil change you can easily change it once a month and practically eliminate all of the above problems. any good name brand oil will work as long as it's rated "SE" (severe environment). IOW "oil for motorcycles".
there used to be a poster on the old scootdawg forum by the name of terra nova that came up with a recipe for "boronated oil". a lot of the posters agreed with his claims that it improved engine performance and reduced noise.

Read on. Terra Nova ultimately had an engine failure from his boronated oil. It didn't work. |

Yeah I was going to mention that but thought he might come back and start the whole thing all over again.🙄😁 They were certainly some lively discussions.
