Scooter oil change questions thx

Hello.

I got a Chinese Honley 110cc scooter and after looking on youtube I should change the factory engine oil asap it seems because they use really bad oil.
It's only done 360 miles so far.

I'm not sure how much oil to put in and is the halfords stuff any good?

Thanks.

Halfords stuff will be fine, can't advise on the amount though.

I don't know ~~much~~ anything about bikes, but I'd imagine it's not gear oil that you want.

I missed that bit

yeah the halfords oil is fine but make sure it's the right type.

Ah yes i see what you mean.

I think this one then should be safe bet?

Not sure if my scooter got a belt or chain lol.
I can't get the panels off as I need to get a decent screw driver set.

It should have a way of checking the oil level, clear window or a dipstick, failing that see how much you drain out.
