I know there has been discussion latelly about oil.
Basically because scooters have seperate gearbox oil they do not need motorcycle oil for wet clutches
This means car oil is perfect to use if you get the right spec, grade etc
Piaggio recommend Aqip oil Piaggio stated the oil must be API-SL or higher..
Lets use my nexus for example. piaggio say it needs 5w40 oil API-SL fully synthetic minimum. cost for a 1 litre of aqip is roughly £10 so thats £20 an oil change with top ups inbetween.
I went into my local car shop. checked around made sure they had fully synthetic oil 5w40 made sure it was API SL which it was.
This is the bottle
Doesnt look anything fancy but its pretty much the same stuff
Its sort of there own brand i think but on the back it says
So not only are you getting decent oil but cheaper as well
Price for 5 litres was £20.12 which is a lot cheaper then i have been paying before _________________
