Technical | How To / Re: Diesel oil for a scooter?
« on: October 03, 2009, 07:13:31 AM »
The 2008 kymco agility 50 says to use SAE 15w-40 in the manual, but the only oil I could find at autozone was Diesel oil for passenger cars and light trucks with diesel engines, but it said SAE 15w-40. I also saw synthetic high quality racing 10w-40 engine oil for 4 stroke motorcycles, but I did not buy this.
I correctly changed the oil in my scooter and cleaned the filter using the 15w-40 diesel oil and my scooter sounds, maybe smells, dont know if im imagining it, and doesnt run as well as it did before. There is a large decrease in acceleration and lower top speed, I plan on bringing it into the shop monday, but could i have used the synthetic 10w-40 oil?
Also wordslinger, in your signature, what is the $100 50+mph mod you have on your scooter.
