How often should you change gear oil on a scooter?
My manual recommends changing the transmission oil every 2000 miles or 6 months. Since it only takes about about 100ml of oil (which costs under $1) and takes a couple of minutes to do, don’t skimp on transmission oil changes. I use Castrol 10-30W engine oil and Castrol 80/90 transmission gear oil.

Change the factory gear oil out at 300 miles. I use a quality 90wt gear oil in my scoots. I change it at 300 miles and then every 5000 miles after that. I get it in a bottle with a pointed spout so it’s easy to get it into the fill hole. Just insert the spout and squeeze.
