Choosing oil for scooters: What do experts say?

For the Vario model, you can consider the following criteria to choose the appropriate oil:

• Oil capacity: The Vario engine uses 0.8 liters of engine oil and 120 ml of gearbox oil.
• JASO standard: You should choose oils with JASO MB, which are specifically designed for scooters. These products are researched and developed to suit scooter engines.
• Viscosity: Common viscosities in Vietnam include 10W40, 5W40, 5W30, and 10W50, all of which are quite suitable.
• Synthetic oil and semi-synthetic oil are excellent choices that meet various needs and conditions.

Another important note is to pay attention to using the correct oil capacity. Too little oil can reduce engine lubrication efficiency, while too much oil can feel heavy on the engine. It is advisable to change the oil periodically according to the manufacturer’s recommendations or to consider the mileage used.
