Title: Engine oil
Post by: Libarata on February 05, 2019, 12:37:11 PM: What engine oil do you folks use? Iâ€™m assuming we donâ€™t have a wet clutch with the VT?

For dino oil you need to match the oil weight to mfg recomendations, however a full syn oil doesnt make much difference due to its superior lubrication. I use Rotella T-6 full syn 5w-40 oil that is compatible with wet clutches

It doesn't have to be wet clutch compatible oil since scooters don't have a wet clutch.
I use the same oil as in my motorcycle just because it's easier.
10w40 semi synthetic, no problems the last 9 years.

Edit:
Sorry, just realised this thread is not about scooters. My bad.
