I have the following types available in a local shop. Which one should I choose for the initial oil change at 1000km.

I don't know if that answered your question, but the two most important parts of his answer were 10w30, and full synthetic. Because it does not have a wet clutch I don't know that the MA vs MB will make much difference, though I would go with MB because it is recommended.

The top bottle is just SAE30 constant viscosity (for lawn mowers, etc), so you can rule that one out. Either of the other two would work fine.

Hi suzxee1234,

Out of those three choices, the Pro Tech Gold 4AT (MB 10W-30 semi-syn) is the best oil for your PCX.

However, if you have access to full syn motor, that would be even better oil for (probably) less money.
An xW-40 or xW-50 weight oil will provide better protection than an xW-30 oil.

Thank you all for the help.
I will go with the semi-senthetic option then.

This perpetual question really bothers me and a lot of other scooter drivers in China.
Like me and other scooter lovers, we struggle to find the perfect oil for scooters.

I have with me right now a gold 4AT MB which I purchased from the PCX vendor shipped from Thailand, which is the recommended orignial.
I think the price says all, the gold original costs less than 7 GB Pound and in Thailand much less, half of that I suppose, and this align with common beilef that the original is the bare minimum.

That's why I am think about, after running in, using the Mobil 1 full synthetic MA or Motul scooter MB.

As long as it's a good quality 4 stroke motorcycle oil with the temp rating's for the environment, I doubt the humble PCX engine would notice any difference at all - just don't use 2 stroke oil or treakle and you will be fine, as will the bike.

I plan on using Quaker State conventional oil. I think conventional oil is just fine for the little 125cc motor. Will just it one riding season.
