I have a Wildfire 150-s I just got the new CDI and a new Coil to hopefully get spark back and get the 150cc running again. but was wandering the manual that came with the scoot told me to use the expensive 5w50 and hard to find oil for motor and gear oil. The gear oil has a slow leak Im worried its been awhile since last change and been sitting so has leaked a little. But what oil have u guys used in the CVT on ur 150cc's I got some 10w30, 20w50 and some actual gear oil 80w90. I was hoping I could top it off with one of these oils to make sure its full. was just changed at beginning of spring but I know some has leaked out once I get it running I am going to sell it so not really want to buy a 8$ qt. of oil just to use a little bit of it cause the motor oil should still be nice and clean like I said just been sitting might have 200miles since I did last oil change just got a leak in the CVT oil!

How many 150cc owners out there just use gear oil in there 150cc ? I went by manual but a lot of other things in the manual aint been right! its probably a oz or two low so just needs topped off or I have enough gear oil or 10w 30 to change it all out? Well out to start working in it I hope the CDI or the Coil give her spark back then I got some plastics to put together and ill check back to see what others use in there 150's thanks in advance!

I only use gear oil in mine and can't remember off the top what I used, I will look in the am, but ever since break in, full syn in both.

I use 75W90 synthetic or 80W90 blend in out SYM Citycom 300i and Xingyue/ITA XY150T. As the gearbox does not have bevel cut gears you can use the same oil you use in your engine. I just like the thought of using gear oil in a gearbox.
