I have a Piaggio Ape 50 and I need to change the oil for the engine, which is a two stroke motocycle engine. Do you know what kind of oil I need?

SAE 30 will work fine. Hope I have been helpful.

A two stroke engine is different from the 4 stroker in many ways and the engine oil you are talking about is meant mainly for lubrication of lower part of the engine and the gear system only. It does not reach the cylinder head and piston. the main lubrication to cylinder and piston is provided by the oil, which is mixed with fuel i.e. petrol.
Ideally for good lubrication of your 2-stroke engine mix a good quality 2-stroke oil in the ratio of 20ml per litre of petrol. For pouring into the engine case, any good quality engine oil will do, even those meant for 4-strokers, provided it is not so thick and viscous. Oils from Castrol, ELF, Shell, BP, Indian Oil, Hindustan Petroleum and other good companies are good enough for the purpose. In India, we generally use these and get good results.
Further enquiry is welcome...
