Thats hard to say... Empty sucks (obvious reasons) and overfull tends to make a mess in all sorts of places you don't want a mess. A FEW ml more or less won't hurt though. I always fill mine to the overflow bolt. (never measured it)

Indeed. I do the same, but the angle of the overflow bolt in my parking lot is different from the angle of the overflow bolt when operating. The joys of slopes. :)

I think I'll go check the level at the gas station forecourt, as that should be a lot more level than the parking lot of my apartment complex.

The manual for your scoot. or your dealer will have exact amount. I use Surf Canyon to find things like the manuals. There are lots of dead ends looking for them. Surf canyon has a Bullseye that will shorten the search through some 100 pages to get you where you want to go. The only draw back is it will NOT work w/ Opera.

on ps250 you should put in the amount stamped on the case - do not do what the owner's manual says.  I bought a horse syringe which makes it easy to measure the amount and get in the dinky hole.  .23L on my 2009 ps250 (might be a 2007 for all I know!)

I second that.  I have heard one guide says the same as that stamped into the case and the other says to fill it to the bottom of the hole.  I read one forum where the technical rep for Kymco said to measure and use that amount.  He said the bottom of the hole method adds too much  (by two times) oil and that too much oil in the rear end is bad for the gears.
