Vespa mechanic here. First, while SAE 30w NON DETERGENT oil will work in the gearbox, it is not a good idea to use it in warm weather. It tends to lose its viscosity when really hot. Piaggio recommends SAE 75w85 GL4 (NOT GL-5) gear oil. 75w90 works fine too, as long as it is GL-4. DO NOT use a homemade gasket on the drain plug. That plug is not supposed to use a gasket. It uses a compressible washer. The fill plug uses the same washer. They are very inexpensive. buy a couple dozen of them, and you will never have to worry about it again. Before removing both the drain plug and fill plug, clean off the plug and area around the plug thoroughly. I use spray brake cleaner. I also clean off both plugs after removing them. You don't want dirt in the transmission. You can use any number of ways to get the new oil in. A syringe works, a tiny funnel, the spout on a gear oil bottle, whatever fits in the small hole. You DO NOT need to measure it. You are supposed to fill it up till it is completely full. The way you did it, you didn't have enough oil to start with, and some of that ran down the side of the case.

[@CantharusENG]

Appreciate Your comment. For the gaskets I was missing the right size and I did it just to fix it temporary, and I showed just to show how to do it in case of emergency. The tip to clean the plug and the surrounding area is a great tip I will do it from now on Thanks 😃 About the different from synthetic and mineral oil i agree with You but some older Vespa with still some original equipment may experience a shorter life in clutch and some gaskets are in cork and the glue may be deteriorated by the detergent power of the oil (the oil "glass" of the oil tank ha a cork o-ring). As the fill up Your still right in the Italian video I specified, in English I forgot. I will make a new video soon with the some correction. Really Thanks for the time You took sharing Your good Knowledge ❤

[@GnarledSage]

Hi. Is this the same 2T oil I put on the tank? Or is a different oil the one I need to find for the change. I’m in Colombia South America and I need some clues as what to search, since it’s very difficult (or very expensive) to find the same things used in the us or eu. Thanks

[@geraldscott4302]

@@GnarledSage Are you talking about the oil injection system tank? What year and model is your scooter? If you are talking about the transmission, it needs either 30W non detergent 4 stroke engine oil, or if you can find it, 75w85 or 75w90 gear oil. It needs to be GL-4, not GL-5. GL-5 oil contains additives that can damage the brass and bronze in the bearings of older vehicles. Don't put 2T oil in the transmission. It is much too thin.

[@GnarledSage]

Thanks for taking the time to explain this. Now I know that it’s the gearbox oil the one I should be changing; though some mechanic I asked, said it was not importan to change it if the bike had not being in use, once I told him that the bike had been stored for years. I’m not sure if I trust him on this. I found online the 75W90 GL-4, sold for cars. I hope this is not an issue and it’s the same oil. The 30W is cheaper, but, there’s just 30 and a bunch of 30W”X” with different number at the end. What difference does putting one or the other make? It’s a 1995 Vespa PX150, that was neglected, but, seems to work ok. I’m not sure if this should be taken into consideration too.

[@geraldscott4302]

@@GnarledSage If you found 75W90 GL-4, use that. That's actually the best oil for an older Vespa transmission. Straight 30W will work, and is what Vespa recommended decades ago. It works ok in cooler climates. But it has to be NON DETERGENT. Regular 30W oil contains detergents that can damage the bearings in the transmission. All 75W90 GL-4 is the same, and is just fine for older Vespa transmissions.

Hello, I own a 2002 LML Vespa Select II which is India bound but for sure I know it was manufactured by LML & Piaggio, Almost identical to yours by mechanical factors. I was hoping to restore it but i no longer have the owner's manual, hence a little lost from where to start and what steps are necessary. Could use some help.

[@adityapalve2255]

sir do u know any additives which helps in cleaning scooters gearbox like for example - we engine flush to clean engine

[@CantharusENG]

A cheap way to do it is to mix some kerosene with gearbox oil (50ml of kerosene and 200ml of gearbox oil ) Run idle few minutes then flush. Before refill with the oil put 50ml of gearbox oil, run idle 1 minutes to clean the kerosene. Then make a standard refill of about 250ml of gearbox oil

[@CantharusENG]

95 Gasoline is very good for the Vespa, Lower octane level may be dangerous if Your Vespa is tuned. 2 stroke oil is mandatory at 2% of gasoline. Where do You live? (i will suggest a good oil sold in Your country) a Good oil is recommended but Vespa has a very strong engine so don't worry to much.
