Interesting - Motul is not exactly an off-brand, cheap, oil and changed at @700 miles!!. Why the oil additive?
Aren't you concerned you'll be fouling the chemical recipe of that super good oil?

Didn't think about that.  Lucas has so many favorable reviews, I just went w it.  Maybe a mistake?

As for the frequency of oil changes, one of the biggest scooter dealers in FL  (NS4L in Gainesville) recommends every 500 miles for scoots.
2014 BV 350  "IndiGO" (fast, strong and tireless)
2006 Honda Rebel 250  "Snow Leopard" (stealthy, agile and durable)
2018 Lance Cali Classic 200i  "Black Panther" (smooth, nimble, quiet and quick)
2016 Wolf V-50 (sold)

Wanted a Kymco, ended up w a Lance, but that forum is inactive, so I am here

I've no issue with your change frequency  ( my Like gets freq. changes, too! )
 But I'd not mess with additives to your already top quality oil😊

thinking about that 500 mile recommendation...my air cooled, no oil filter lawn mower engine says 25 hour changes.

Say a scooter ran for 25 hours and averaged maybe 20 mph...= 500 miles.  That dealer recommendation of 500 miles

 for an in town scoot ridden in hot FL weather may be a good one.
