Can I use 10W-40 in my scooter?
you should go for 10W40 if you feel tike trying it out. 20W50 will be too thick for your scooter. Use a synthetic oil of the correct viscosity, as specified by the manufacturer. Synthetic oils are superior to conventional oils over a wider range of temperatures & engine loads.

10W40 is not better than 20W50 for high mileage. The difference between 10w40 and 20w50 is simply that the latter is thicker. As far as gas mileage goes, no oil will improve your gas mileage by changing from 10W40 to 20W50 or vice versa.
