Is this oil safe to put in my new PCX 125cc?

Generally a "4T 10W-30 fully synthetic 4-stroke motorcycle engine oil " is fine, but where are you located ? Is it a cold climate?

Yes, that is exactly the correct oil to use.

I use the power 1 racing which is fully synth whereas this is part-synth, but that said it's fine. Any good 4T motor oil in the correct temp range is fine, no need for extra special oil anyway, just do not use 2 stroke oil :)

If your in the UK Halfords often have it in stock or Sports Bike shop have it for nearly £5 cheaper including delivery

10W30 is fine from -20 to 40 so perfect for UK.

<actually 10W30 is fine from -15 to mid 30C, usual range for the UK although now it's getting hotter in summer 10W40 is proably better depite Honda stating use 10W30 in all their PCX manuals for the UK (and US?)

The container says “2T” doesn’t it ? So it’s for a 2 stroke gas - oil mix engine.

Anyone use an engine oil with "Energy Conserving" printed in the circle on the back of the containers.
I am aware the owners manual says not to use it.
