Hi there!
I need some help with choosing the optimal oir for my Vespa Primavera 50.
The user manual requires oils which comply with API TC, JASO FC, ISO-L-EGD specifications and recommends Eni i-Ride PG 2T oil.
This Eni might be fully synthetic or semi-synthetic, I am not sure.
However, it doesn't seem to be available anymore, and Eni website recommends Eni i-Ride scooter 2T (semi-synthetic) and Eni i-Ride racing 2T (fully synthetic).
QUESTION 1: Given the oils comply with the same standards, does it make any difference whether it is semi-synthetic or fully synthetic?
Lets focus on Motul oils, since they are easiest to obtain where I live:
They all seem to comply with the same standards, yet there is a distinct classification between scooter oils and "regular oils".
QUESTION 2: Given the oils comply with the same standards, does it make any difference whether it is "scooter" oil or not?
QUESTION 3: I have heard that fully synthetic oils should be used only with engines that are tuned and run at high rpms (11000). Semi-synthetic should be used with engines that are not tuned. Is this true, because it doesn't make any sense for me...
Thanks a lot!

- 510 2T (API TC, JASO FD, ISO-L-EGD, semi-synthetic)
- 710 2T (API TC, JASO FD, ISO-L-EGD, fully synthetic)
- SCOOTER EXPERT 2T (API TC, JASO FD, ISO-L-EGD, semi-synthetic)
- SCOOTER POWER 2T (API TC, JASO FD, ISO-L-EGD, fully synthetic)
