Hi I want to purchase some oil so I have it to hand for top ups, it's a 2022 gts 300 hpe, and after looking I'm just not sure!
Guess I'll need some crazy funnel as well.
I'm in uk!

now I'm curious as to why you're asking if you don't have one ...

but here's the user manual for one

Even with the view from above, I feel the same way as my esteemed colleague from Down Under: I don't know how we can help you...

What exactly is your question? Which oil, how much, when, why, how?

Please invest more effort in asking for help, then you will get the right answer. Alternatively, use the search function, there is nothing in relation to Vespa that has not already been discussed...

Helpful quality information on FB?

pull the other one.

I'd have more faith in the racist output of Grok or the outright lies from ChatGPT

You already had a GTS for 12 years, so you don't get to play the Novice card

and yes, a funnel really helps

Your welcome I think PETG will be good enough for the print, PLA might break down over time sitting in the garage having been in contact with the oil.

What oil? Any synthetic (and in the UK that means USA-style "fully synthetic") 5W-40 or 10W-40 will do, honest, regardless what the racing fraternity may say.

Halfords always have a few 5lt choices at reasonable prices.

I do spend time on reddit's vespa forum. Have found it's block feature handy.

Hey Dunkvs300, i wasn't having a go at your local Vespa mates. Rather i was commenting on the famous nature of social media and also the modern obsession with ai. Two things that lead to shit like #fakenews and #alternativefacts

that's fine and normal, it's what the forums is for

always good to start with a search and then ask a question to help with understanding and confirming.

it's how we learn.

I have the local coöp at 100 meters down the road. Get the first cold pressing. It really is something else. Is not commercialised; all goes to members/locals.
Am a member of the coöp in the neighboring village at 7 kms.
Anyway, off topic

True, as long as the oil is according to the spec: JASO MA or MA2; API SL; ACEA A3.
