What kind of oil do yall use in your KYMCO's?

a guy told me over time that using car oil in your bikes will erode the engne over time because the engines are built strong like car and truck engine. I don't know about all that
If the oil meets the manufacturer’s recommendation, it’s fine regardless of whether it’s car oil or not. Example: if the manufacturer says 10w-30 SJThen 10w-30 oil meeting the SJ (Or higher) standard is fine

My Kymco manual recommends 10W-40, SJ-rating.  The "J" part of the rating is the latest version. Over time, the "J" may change to "K" etc, but that's not a big deal. It's the "S" that's important. It's a plain, unadulterated motor oil. I can find this at any auto supply store.
Exactly. If the manufacturer recommends it, it’s sufficient. If a person wants to use oil meeting a higher standard, fine. But it’s not necessary.
