- Changing the oil in your 50cc or 150cc scooter. This is all the steps you will need to change the oil in your scooter at home. Once you buy all the materials, they will pay for themselves in 2 oil changes. Feel free to comment with any questions!
All of the materials can be bought at your local auto parts store. Here's what I bought from O'Reilly Auto Parts:
-Drain Pan
-Funnel (Longer stem for angle of fill stem)
-17mm Socket (I didn't have to buy this, but it is available there)
-15w 50 oil (Specific to my scooter)
*Make sure you refer to your manual to see what kind of oil to use and how much. All scooters and motorcycles are different!

This is for the viewers watching the video, for all of these Chinese GY6 clone engines you do not screw the dip stick in at all to check the oil. All ya have to do is insert the dip stick to the threads and then pull it back out for the proper oil level check. Do NOT thread the dip stick back in to check the oil level!! The other recommendation would be to use a 10W30 or 10W40 motor oil if the engine has low miles on it or is still new. Do not ever use high viscosity oil, 5w50 or 10w50, on any small cc new engine even if ya live in the desert. A newer engine with tight tolerances NEEDS the lighter viscosity oil to be able to flow into the tighter tolerance bearing journals and valve guides!!😁
Stupid question but can we use car motor oil on them or is there motorcycle oil specifically for moped
@@gerardoruiz5634 Great question, since there is no oil bath clutch when equiped with an air cooled CVT on a scooter the quality and the viscosity of the oil used is more important. If you want to use motorcycle specific oil there is no harm to the engine but it is not needed. I do not ever use synthetic or a 50/50 blend until the engine is fully broken in. Dinasaur oil for at least the break in period first, always sticking with the owners manual or service manual recommended viscosity of the oil!😁
Tip if you use a plastic bag on the oil drain pan you don't have to clean it
Bad tip. How do you drain it?
@@chriscalderin6677 cut a small hole in bottom corners Poor and a recycle banner whatever you need to do one corner
this is exacly what i needed
Bad tip
@@davidkurtz3971 i use it it works Now, don't use the thin bag. Especially if it's hot.
Hey! Great video. Very helpful! One question: I replaced my oil filter and spring exactly the same way you did (filter pointing upwards). However, I saw another video that shows that the filter should go down inside the spring, pointing downwards. Does it matter?
Thanks gonna be doing mine tomorrow 😎🗽
very informative content!
Thanks you saved me 30 dollars a month.
So what's the deal with the scooter 4t oil? Just found out about it and don't know what's different about it compared to regular synthetic oil.
Thank you for the help. I knew the gist of it but your guide was a huge help. Much appreciated
Glad it helped!
Bought my first moped two weeks ago icebear moped, gonna be doing my first oil change
Glad found this video
Will this work for a 2021 vip boom scooter
Thank you helped alot
There's no need to screw the dipstick in to check oil level, the correct way is to just stick it in without screwing, and making sure the scooter is parked level. the exchange oil quantity is around 800-900cc of oil, typically.
Yes but its the persons preference if they choose to for that then let them be.

Thanks Doc.
9:15 pm, thank you, your video helped me out. I can change it myself without asking to have someone change it.. 👍🏼👍🏼
Glad the video helped you out!
Can engine degreaser work? Lol that’s only spray I have right now
What size socket??
I have a tao tao quantum tour 150cc what oil should I use? Manuel under Engine lubricating oil says 4 stroke oil ?
Any 10w - 40 will work, but I suggest using full synthetic since it is an air cooled engine. This will help with oil loss and will keep it's structure longer.
how do i know if i did it correct
Thank you
How to change the oil on a 2004 R4 vento scooter
It looks like a GY6 engine, used in many Chinese branded bikes and they hold (give or take ) 750 ml of oil. A decent 10w/40 oil is the best for these engines.
I looked at my dipstick this morning oil is dark black, going to be changing oil possibly tonight
I notice these bikes have a drain plug and a plug for the oil filter. Why the two plugs? Do you need to drain the oil from both plugs? Thx!!
Yeah I would drain it from both plugs and clean out the oil filter. The filter should just be a screen.
It’s been my experience that to test the oil level you don’t screw the cap back in; you just put it in without screwing it and pull it out
Tenho uma peace 50cc valeu pela dica do óleo
Sem problemas! Que bom que pude ajudar.
So you re-use the oil filter? And only fill it to halfway between low and high?
Yeah. The oil filter is just a screen, not a traditional paper filter. Just clean out the screen and put it back in.
Is it okay to use 10w40 semi synthetic? So half synthetic and half non synthetic?
I know it’s nine months later. But for anyone curious. Check the owners manual for what spec oil you should use. If you don’t own a manual check online. Don’t just guess as different oils are for different bikes
Someone please help me, I had such a hard time loosing the plug for the oil to drain out, how can I loosen it? I had the same tool and everything?
Tap on it with the wrench and use a lot of torque
My manual calls for 15w 40 but I put 10w 30 in is that bad should I take it out?
Yeah. I would always go with the specific oil stated in your manual. It's in there for a reason, whether it's clearances in the engine or compression.
If u can please respond I have the scoot star 150 moped I take great care of it but I checked the oil this morning it was only a quarter full so it was definitely low and idk how long it was that low the bike seems to be running fine and I filled the oil back up do u think I caused damage ?
As long as their was oil in the bike, it should be fine. If you checked the level and there as nothing on the stick, then you would have a problem. It wouldn't hurt to check it every time you ride just to be sure.
@@TyposGarage ok is it true these 150cc bikes only last up to 10,000 miles? I take great care of my bike so I hope that’s not true and also how often u recommend changing the air filter my bike has 3500 mikes on it and it hasn’t been changed since the 1,000 Mile mark so it’s been a while I checked it it looks a little dirty but not to bad u think I’m fine?
Bro' I've a KYMCO super 8 . I followed you directions but for the love of GOD. I can't get the oil filter back in. the spring keeps me from lining up it properly. without the filter the plug goes right in.. I give up after an hour.how long between oil changes can I ride safely without the filter ?PLEASE let me know ASAP !!!!
Is the filter in correctly? There shouldn't be anything blocking it.
@@TyposGarage just paid $45 bucks to get it done ....
useful video, thanks. single nitpick: more viscous = thicker, and less viscous = runnier, so i believe running the engine to heat the oil will lower it
I was thinking the same thing lol glad its not just me
You're absolutely correct! My fault.
Need to change both oil and gear oil in mine m. It's a 50cc and not sure what type of oil to go with on site and others suggested 10w-40.. manual suggested 10w-30
go with manual instruction
Do what your manual sais
this-all seems pretty much straightforward to me
what _my_ question is, did you get a custom track from jake?
because i don't seem to be able to find that banger you were playing in his set!
(i _did_ find other good shit though!)
Yes I did. Jake is a good friend of mine and occasionally makes beats not on social media.
@@TyposGarage lucky!
it's like a match made in heaven, so far as i see it
i suppose i'll make do with what i can hear on here - you know jake's song was rattling my subwoofer sometimes?
(i like that)
I did this exactly and now I can get a single drop of oil to go into the filler tube
As someone else has mentioned the filter looks like a thimble and must go inside the spring, the way it is fitted is incorrect as it is upside down and won't work properly and might restrict the oil flow to the engine, on many scooters there is an oil drain bolt on the opposite side,on my sym it is 17mm, I very rarely remove the filter and spring as it is much messier and due to the mesh size never needed cleaning in the 20,000 miles I put on the scooter. The oil I use is standard 10w40 semi synthetic car oil which I change every 1000 miles , no need for motorbike or scooter oil as the clutch is dry , car oil contains friction modifiers so must not be used in wet clutch motorcycles as it might make the clutch slip.
When should I do my first oil change? I'm at 60 miles. Shop said at 400 miles. One Video said at 100 another said 250. One vid said change it after thirty min?
Bro every 1000 miles but honestly check it your self with a white paper r towel ot any cloth towel and see how black it is
I wouldn't go more than 500 miles before you do the first oil change. 400 would probably be sufficient. Then, go with what the manual says for your intervals after that.
What oil should I use for my scooter ? Been giving me a headache Manual says 10w40 air cooled engine oil (non-synthetic) can anyone help me out
Check with autozone they will most likely have it
Pretty much any Conventional 10W40 oil will work. These scooters don't take much oil, so you can get higher end oil without breaking the bank
What size socket, very important.
Mine said 10 mm
Hey awesome info I appreciate the content. One question brotha. What type of oil do u use n how many quarts do u use n also do u change it every 3,000 miles or do u change it as soon as it is low
Thanks dude! I use about a quart of 10w - 50, which is what it says in my manual. I change it every 1200 miles or so. It's really inexpensive and easy to do, so I do it about 300 miles earlier than necessary. I would definitely check it often and add some if it is low.
Castrol GTX High Mileage
So its completely okay to use 10W-40 oil instead of 15W-40 oil, it wont damage the engine?
I have a Forza 150cc Scooter
Or maybe what is the best oil i can possibly use
@@pedopabloleonburbano8469 Use clean oil..10 w 40 is perfect.How many miles does the scooter have?
@@GYccUsefultipsmine has 2000km or about 1200miles so which oil should I use 10w40 or 5w40
@@tarikvoloder4741 it should say on the engine or near the drain plug what oil it takes.
What is the name of that screw?
Sorry for the late reply, but it is called an oil drain plug. I will link one in the bio for this video.
Literally changing my oil right now won't start driving until tomorrow for work it got 6109 kilometers (still learning to convert to miles) when should be the next time I change the oil and I also bought new spark plugs I was going to put in
I would say it depends on how often you ride it and how many miles you put on. If it is a daily rider, it doesn't hurt to change the oil more frequently. It also depends on what your manual says. I change mine ever 1200 to 1500 miles, checking it often.
My bolt won't budge no matter how hard I try, you crank it like it's so easy. What am I doing wrong? Or is something wrong with mine?
It sounds like someone over tightened the bolt and after heat cycles, the bolt is wedged in there. Do you have a heat gun? I recommend heating it up and trying it, even if the engine is warm.
Thank you!! Bwhy 2 funnels😅😂
🤣 They are actually glues together somehow lol Garage sale stuff
Can 11/16 socket work? I don’t have 17
10 mm is what I was told
My 150 scooter the last time I did a oil change it was at 1100 miles now it’s at 1800 miles should I do another change ?
Depends how long ago you did the change. On these engines, I suggest at least 1000 miles between changes.
@@TyposGarage I usually do a change every 600 miles or so that’s just cuz I drive it a lot and it’s better to change the oil earlier then sooner
I have a 2022 znen 150CC
What oil does a yamaha 125 delight need
What year and engine?
@@TyposGarage 114cc 2014, I did it, bike running fine, thank u , can't remember which one I used now though 😂
I don't have a socket
Manual says oil for air cooled engines. Mobil 1 is for cars (liquid cooled). Any difference if using car oil
Since a these scooters use a CVT instead of a wet clutch system, any oil at the correct spec will be fine.
@@TyposGarage gotcha thank you
Nice video only thing the bike needs to be stationary an engine not running for an accurate reading 😉
Perfect
bro can i use car oil mineral safely in my scooter ?
Definitely man. The oil that is used in cars is the same that is used in motorcycles and scooters. The only differences are #1 some motorcycles use something called a "wet clutch" and uses a certain oil or #2 your scooter/motorcycle uses either synthetic or standard oil. You can check your manual to see if there is anything special that your scooter needs.
@@TyposGarage
my scooter sym fiddle 2 dry clutch
I did a little research and it looks like your scooter takes 10w 40 synthetic. A good option is Castrol 4t full synthetic 10w 40. Do you ride when it the weather is cold?
@@TyposGarage
no no i am using shell 20w50 for old car and working fine i tried many oils 10w40 the sound of motor is horrible
Hmm what is the size of the engine? The 10w 40 is what your bike calls for. Maybe there is a bigger issue that needs addressed if it is making that much more noise with an oil change. Your valves could be out of spec.
How many ml oil
0.8 to 0.9 liters for a gy6 150cc engine. Check your dipstick so you don't overfill the engine.
My oil filter came flying out and I lost it, now what?
They are a pretty standard size, so you could probably find one online to replace it.
Mines a Bahama VIP 50CC
You don't drain the oil from the filter. There is a separate oil drain. Eric fail
What is this music my God
My manual suggests change the oil every 1000 kilometers
Well, I would do what your manual says. Every machine is different.
15w50 why not using 10w40
The manual actually says to use 5w50 until the first oil change. Then, you can switch to 10w50 or 15w50. I've used both and I feel like the 15w50 makes the engine run a little smoother. It is definitely weird that it doesnt use 10w40.
@@TyposGarage
i saw every scooter use 10w30 or 10w40
@@islamayman5927 Yeah. Many 150cc or gy6 engines use 10w40. I'm not sure why this engine was made differently. It is a 2005 Wildfire 150T
@@TyposGarage
i used 20w50 but after using motul 10w40 the engine become more noiser but smooter and more fuel efficincy
Didn't realize how dirty the scooter game is here in massachusetts. ... anyone here know of a repair and maintenance shop that will take on a 49cc trike????? worst money spent so far, major issues after a 2 day purchase smdh...anyone? ???
I hope you measured it so you don’t have to check it 5 times next time….
Will it drive with no oil?
For maybe a few minutes and then it will lock up.
Oh yeah it'll run really good for a few minutes then you can call it the lockup special hahaha
That music is so annoying. You should only rest the dipstick on the top NOT screw it in for a true reading!
Immediately - 1st step is WRONG....
Starting the engine pulls the oil up into the engine giving an inaccurate reading on the dip-stick.
.... NO DUDE!
Actually, you are most definitely supposed to warm your engine up. If the engine oil is warm, it has no issue draining from the internals of the engine. It prevents the oil from sticking in all the crevices and oil pan since it thins out at higher temperatures. Any shop manual will explain this pretty clearly.
That's not the correct drain plug it's on the opposite side and you have the incorrect oil
This is all per the manual. Every scoot is different.
@@TyposGarage That's to all your filter not to drain and some bikes have a bearing on top of that filter and it just falls off in the oil and they never even know it and their bearing helps oil pressure And I've never seen any bite use any other thing than 10w 40
