Today I decided to change my motor oil & gear oil even though I only have 10 miles on my BD50QT-2A 49CC - scooter made by Jiangsu Baodiao.
I don't trust the oil/ gear oil that comes from the factory, so I changed it today, then rode over 20 miles with no issues.
When should I change the oil/ gear oil again? I was thinking of 500 miles? Just curious what your thoughts are?
I used Castrol 10w40 oil for the motor and Castrol 80/90 gear oil.
Also, down the road, what are your thoughts on synthetic oil?
at what mileage I should consider full synthetic?
I was going to change to Castrol POWER1® 4T Motorcycle Oil.
I was told this is a great oil to use when I change over to full synthetic?
At what mileage is it "safe" to change from conventional oil to full synthetic?
Also, which oil do you like best??
It has great reviews and is formulated for 4 stroke 49 cc engines.
your thoughts??
