Per the Lance Havana 125 Maintenance Guide (which has a similar engine) . . 1240 miles service:

"Recommend to use synthetic motor oil for all future oil changes."

Related discussion.

Thanks tortoise much appreciated. I will go with it and report back with the results in time.

I have a SYM Fiddle II 125 just shy of 7000 miles and have been using Shell Rotella 15w-40 dino. I just purchased a gallon of Rotella Synthetic 5w-40 to try for the next round of oil changes. I had not heard that synthetic oil could cause an issue with leaking seals in a gy6 motor. Do I need to be concerned about this on the Fiddle, or do you guys feel that the tolerances will be tighter than a standard chinese manufactured gy6?
