2013 Genuine Buddy 125 scooter (dry cvt...oil does engine only; forced air cooling); specs for 15w-40 (owner's manual & stickers on/in scooter) & lots of folks use 10w-40 (shops selling motorcycle & scooter oils); engine uses actual filter (cannister style...HiFlo Filtro HF183 or HF197 for example)
I might extend riding season into late fall...temps--upper 30's to mid 50's; how thin is feasible (cold flow vs wear protection)?
options I've considered...motorcycle/powersports synblend 10w-40 (various brands), Castrol Edge 10w-40 car oil, hdeo synblend 10w-30 (Rotella or Delo), hdeo synthetic 5w-40 (Rotella or Delo), hdeo synblend 15w-40 (Rotella or Peak), hdeo synthetic 15w-40 (Amsoil OE), powersports synthetic 5w-40 (Quiksilver)
