Telling us the car would help. It’s no use assuming one is better than the other.

I redline claims their 10w40 retains a film similar to a 50 when hot. Not sure how accurate it is. But that’s why I’m hoping to use I for my application.

Now that’s heavy. I’d be a bit worried about that heavy an oil. Possible inadequate bearing cooling/lube?

I wish I knew what half of that meant, but I take it I’m ok to run what I want.

My bad, I’m new. The smaller bike is better on fuel, cheaper on insurance, cheaper to buy, easy to store. Most scooters are designed to run at a fairly high engine speed and can do so without issue.

“Do not use oils of a diesel specification of “CD” or oils of a higher quality than specified.” What a weird thing to say. What does “a higher quality” even mean? This is from the owners manual of a 2016 Yamaha Zuma/BWS 125cc scooter. It goes on to warn against using energy conserving oils...
