Looking for information concerning appropriate transmission oil for my Vespa P200e, I found this:

http://www.vespalabs.org/wiki/vespa-101 ... earbox-oil

After reading it a couple times and checking with a local auto parts store for the Castrol mentioned in the article, I have concluded that using some of the 30 weight for 2 cycle engines which I already have would do just fine for the transmission.

Have I overlooked anything? Thanks. Charles

SAE30 is fine as long as it's not an EP oil - it's bad for the phosphor bronze bush in the clutch

Thanks!

I was using Red Line 80W Motorcycle Gear Oil with Shockproof from opie oils but I'm now using
Motul Transoil Expert 10W-40

Why over complicate - straight SAE 30 lawnmower oil has worked since year dot
