WOW Conley that site just got me so excited my girlfriend thought the bucs got a touchdown lol. this site is the best. can any one tell me why not to use such thin oil. is this moter that loose. if it is a loose moter then i understand but then i am suprised that everyone is getting the miles on them. I am really new to the scoots. I have had many old honda small moters like the 62 sport 50 i have now and i would happly run 10 w 30 in any of them and that is normal oil. when you go synthetic "at least in cars" you can go down in weight. someone please correct me if i am wrong but al multi viscositi oil starts out as "10w40" 40 weight when cold and 10 weight when hot. i live in central Fla. If I lived in a cold climate i could see wanting the thicker oil in the cold. but cold here is 65 degrees. I am not trying to start an oil debate just want one of the guys that have been here for a long time to coment on this. i love this site and thanks to everyone for the warm welcome.
