First look/read in owner's manual.   I don't think Kymco fussy on their oil requirements.   I use WalMart house brand 10-40 engine oil in my 2019 XTown 300I----works fine for me and has for last 500,000 two wheel miles----rear drive, use Walmart hypoid oil....works

My Kymco book says engine oil (engine)  Hypoid gear oil in rear end.   Funny as some Honda scooters say use engine oil in rear end,too.

"Gear oil, SAE-90" .......any brand you like and matching that description.
Should think any auto parts shop will point you to the right stuff.

I second Mr. Stig's advice. I use (85-90 hypoid gear oil) in all my two wheeled vehicles and most of my previously owned auto differentials.
