you know honda made those little engines as tough as nails. they'll practically last forever if you take good care of them. i'd splurge and get some Castrol 20w50 synthetic for it. pamper it and it will keep running for your son and for his kids.

Like Guardrail says, 20/50 four stroke motorcycle oil is your best bet.
Also, when you're checking the oil level, be sure to stand the bike upright. If it's leaning on the kickstand, it will read high (too little oil).
Don't forget to clean and oil the air filter while you're at it.
And as mentioned by someone else here - change the oil frequently, dirt bikes should go a maximum of 40 hrs between oil changes and air filter cleaning. Much more often if the conditions are dusty, or in tough riding conditions.

Change oil in dirt bikes every month or so. use 10/40 multi viscosity MS-CC-DC, oil Just regular oils like Havilone (texaco) Mobil 10/40 and Castrol . And the engine only uses about one quart. Motor oil also lubricates the transmission. Buy a couple qts.

I never had a dirt bike.
All my Hondas were labled 10w40, usually near the dipstick. Capacity was right there too. Even though labled 10w40, (which I used in the winter) I always used 20w50. I preferred Castrol, although I really didn't notice a difference between brands. Just don't mix brands.

It is best to use an oil designed for motorcycles with a wet clutch. Do not use any type of oil that has friction additives, they will make your clutch slip. Also 20w50 is not nessesary as it will not flow as well when the engine is cold. Use 10w40 like Honda recommends.

Best advice is to call honda parts counter and just ask them, they will tell you exact info.
20w X 50w senthetic oil in the crank case. 2-3 qts.
