Pure curiosity, why don't people who convert to adding their own oil use the factory tank? Run an oil line out to a spot under the seat with a tap. maybe use bulkhead fitting? You could open the tap and fill up a measuring device.

That'd be a real bitch to make that idea work. Since there's no pump on the tank, you'd have to rely on gravity to supply oil. Unfortunately the oil tap is near the floor of the frame. Best case scenario is you could run an oil line out bottom of the floor and then your tap would have to be outside of the scooter in all the muck.
Then the oil drips as slow as molasses so you have plenty of time for a bathroom break, pick up some smokes, play a lotto scratcher and then double check and see if you're close but still have to wait. If you have to be somewhere, you can stick your lips on the oil fill pipe and blow like Satchmo to help speed up the process, hoping the seat doesn't fall and guillotine your neck.

Thanks, I needed a good laugh this morning.
