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 https://manuals.wotmeworry.org.uk/Vespa/GTS%20300i%20HPE/GTS%20300i%20HPE%20owners%20manual.pdf |

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...

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. |
