I would run the 10w40 mobile 4T only after an 800 mile break in.The W15 is irreverent unless you plan on riding in freezing cold conditions. Its designed for air cooled motors so you know it will help. Prior to that any dino oil will assist in having all the parts mesh properly.

As cheap as the magnet is get one anyway.

I ride all my scoots the same way for break in. Do some shrt bursts of acellerating and letting off. Reapeat this several times with some cool down in between. The first part of the break in happens in the first 20 minutes of riding so it is most crucial. You need to build up sufficient heat but just dont hold the redline. Vary your speeds while cruising for a few hundred miles or so.

Many who baby the scoot dont get that proper seal and get oil blowby. You only get one shot to do it right.
