Any engine oil is fine as long as it's injector oil. For the rearend; manual says 10-30 wt (car oil is fine), Jerry says use 2-stroke oil. Your pick.

beside the tire on the engine case, near the casting # there is a 12mm bolt. that is trans fluid. fill to the bottom of the hole.

Any comments on Lucas or Amsoil synthetic? I have some leftover Amsoil synthetic 10W-40 to use in the rear case. Any experience with either injector oil?

I would use 90 weight gear oul if you are going to do any kind of modidication to the motor.Even that an a modified dio loses it's vescocity.

This is a college scoot, not a project. I was under the impression that 10W-40 was sufficient in the rear.

Like a 75W-90? Seems a bit thicker than recommended 10W-40, no?
