I hope this is in the right place to ask>>> I am going to attempt to change my oil and transmission fluid myself, I wanted to ask what is recommended for engine oil and gear oil for the transmission??
I did find 85-140 gear oil and wonder if I can use that? My scooter has 700 mi on it and I already had the gear oil and motor oil changed once at 317 miles. It is so cheap to change the oil and gear oil I feel it's worth doing every 800 mi or so. I plan on waiting until I get close to 1000 mi to change the gear and motor oil. What do you recommend??

Is 15W-40 NOT on a metal information plate AND suggested in the owners manual?

I use Shell Rotella T 15W40, changed every 500 miles in the engine. For the gearbox, I go with Mobil 1 75W90. Changed every 1000-2000 miles. That is a full synthetic gear oil, so it won't be the cheapest. You'll get about 7 full changes from one bottle though.
