Title: Agility 50 Oil
Post by: yankee doodle on March 22, 2010, 08:34:30 PM

??? HI everybody I have a 09 Agility 50  4 t  .I think if I use a synthetc oil I might cut down on friction .For summer idle at  Lights and traffic .Less friction .Less overheating .More engine life .Will this oil do this less friction ? Thanks

Yes sir! I use full synth. in every engine I own. Better mileage, and less wear. The general consensus is as long as the engine has gone through recommended break-in.

With only 176kms on her I think you should wait awhile longer before switching to full synth.

No troubles yanke d. I live in N.W. Florida, about an hour from Panama City. http://ew5.earlweb.com/recommendations.php?site=6&sector=2&category=25&subset=975&vehicle=59641 (http://ew5.earlweb.com/recommendations.php?site=6&sector=2&category=25&subset=975&vehicle=59641)   This page is from Castrol. It gives specific oils for every Kymco scoot, and all the other required oils for the scoot. From my experience you will want to be sure your break-in is complete before adding full synthetic. Castrol also offers semi synth. that may fill the void for you. I have not read their entire page as I find most of the info to be self serving, but I have been using full synth. in all my engines since the mid '70's, and (knock on wood) have had no oil related failures in 40 years. The list of engines is far too long to begin, as I have been a marine/auto/bike mechanic since my first job. Who knows yankee d.. I just may show up on the Cape. Say Hey to the Lobster for me!
