3 years and 3 months later I finally got around to changing mine. Sometimes it takes me 5 years to do a 10 minute job. Thanks, this video made it easy.
I use Valvoline synthetic gear oil 75w-90 $12.98 and Valvoline synthetic motor oil 4T 10w-40 $7.98 both on Amazon. Also I only use REC 90 octane free fuel and my 150cc Vitacci Rocket runs great. Thanks for the videos they helped a lot when I first got my GY6 👍
Thank you brother. i could not figure out where the gear oil went, I thought that bolt was just another regular case bolt, would have never guess you could put oil in it.
Definitely appreciate this. But you’re saying every 500 miles?! My scooter as at 300ish miles right now and recently changed the main oil. Would it be wise to change my gear oil now or just wait?
Hello Johnny if you have a new scooter try to to change all the oil asap because I do not trust Chinese scooter companies they try to save penny on the dollar on the oil too ah ah ah but if you change your gear oil every 800 to a 1000 miles is very good . thank you for watching my video
Thanks for posting this video. This is very helpful. I have a Znen SSR Interceptor 2014 model 150cc. I'm not really sure if the engine is the same as a 150 cc gy6. It looks very similar to yours. I've looked for some video of it on youtube but there's really not a lot like the 150 cc gy6. Do you know if this also uses 80W-90 gear oil. Somehow when I researched the website it suggested that I use a 10w-40. This sounds more like a motor oil to me. Can you give me a suggestion.
Hello Randy 80w-90 ( Lucas amzn.to/29N1Qly ) gear oil is just perfect for your scooter rear gear and 10w-40 ( Mobil amzn.to/29W5zZo ) is a great oil for the motor Thank you Randy for watching my video :-)
Thanks for this. I’m going to try it soon. Mine is leaking a small amount of gear oil now. The dealership mechanic said it was overfilled and has excess oil in it. and is leaking a small amount through a vent or something. Does this sound right to you? It is only after I ride the scooter that it leaks. Also my manual for Kymco like 150 says to use SAE 90. Will the 80-90 work? Thanks for all your help
Hello Busywave if there is to much gear oil you can build up a little more pressure in the gear box so there is a possibility that you have a little leak or a broken gasket so try to change the gear oil and see if you still have leak and yes sae 90 is good . thank you for watching my video
virberello welcome friend. I also subscribed. Qeustion...can a GY6 49cc with all emmisons system removed need to use a petcock? Reason I'm asking is new gas tank only has one nipple on bottom for a fuel line only. Old tank has nipple on top and larger opening on bottom where the stem goes up into the tank from the petcock that screws in on bottom. Can I just run straight full line from tank to carb and plug the two air ends on the manifold. And have you ever made a video on storing your scooter for winter and then what to do for it in the spring.
Hello Morris in reality for me you do not really need a petcock valve you can bypass that and have a better fuel flow, a petcock valve is the fist step of safety for fuel but you can replace that with a manual valve. the key of the all fuel system is the carburetor floater that is doing the job but if the floater fail and you forgot to close the manual valve when you park your scooter you will lose all the fuel or float the engine. so the petcock is a safety device . Great idea for the new video thanks I wasn't thinking about that because I leave in sunny south Florida and I never store my scooter :-)
50cc GY6 here. I have a new variator and clutch. Adjusted valves, new everything ignition wise, new carb new instake manifold. Still have this issue. The GY6 runs smooth and revs great!! High rpm. The issue is it will not go past 16-18 mph. This is a 150cc ATV btw that should do 40mph easy. Also it vibrates the shit out of you. I have unchained the rear axle to rev it and it still vibrates bad so it not the axle. Only thing I can think is these gears being bad. Help what do you think?!?!?
Hello my friend with all the good changes that you have done to your gy6 the scooter should be running great the thing that come to my mind is a better exhaust for the speed and for the vibration I dont think is the gears but more the variator or variator crankshaft ( make sure the variator is installed correctly sometimes during install the weights can fall out of their slot.) unfortunately sometime you have to look all over the scooter to find a little problem that will make your scooter run better . Thank you for watching my video and I hope you find the problem check this link www.firenzee.com/gy6/ for troubleshooting your scooter
Can you use motor oil in the transmission gear box? Suggestion,,,,, try using a 150 cc measuring syringe to put the oil in...... It may be easier..... Thanks for the video
Hello Daffy for an emergency engine oil SAE 15w-40 would be better than NO OIL at all, but it is not the same thing as gear oil . Gear oil is thicker and formulated for a specific job. Thank you for watching my video
The gear oil sold at Pep Boys, Western Auto, or any other general automotive store may be similar in composition to the gear oil sold at a motorcycle store, but they are not necessarily the same. Motorcycles have specific requirements for their gear oil, which can differ from the requirements for other vehicles. Motorcycle gear oil needs to provide excellent wear protection, minimize friction, and offer superior thermal stability to withstand the high temperatures generated by motorcycle engines. It's essential to check your motorcycle owner's manual
I have a jonway sunl 1500 cc 4 stroke,for the gear oil it says to use gl-3,cant seem to find any,what else can I use??thank you in advance.your awesome..
Hello Jesse if you can not find GL3 you can use SAE 75-90 full syntethic your scooter will run smooth amzn.to/2XZIKCL this is little expensive but great quality

I have a 150cc gy6 and my scooter tilts backwards and forwards when it's on the center stand. Should my back tire be touching the ground when I do my oil change or should my front tire touch the ground? When I check my oil level it shows it's overfilled when the scooter is leaning one way, and it's perfectly level when it's tilted the other way. Please help me out thankyou
Hello James place your scooter on center stand place something like a brick under a front tire and a brick under the rear tire so your scooter is going to be level at that point you can check the oil perfectly make sure to do not overfill your scooter with motor oil or the extra oil will go to your air filter. Thank you for watching my video
I bought this oil thinking it was the one i was supposed to use for my scooter but I found out I need GL-3 oil would it damage my scooter if i used this one instead?
Using 80W-90 gear oil instead of the recommended GL-3 oil in your scooter's transmission could potentially lead to issues and may not provide optimal performance. Here's what you should consider: Viscosity and Lubrication Properties: Gear oils have different viscosity ratings, represented by numbers like 80W-90. These numbers indicate the oil's flow characteristics at different temperatures. GL-3 is a specification that ensures proper lubrication and protection for certain types of gears, particularly those found in manual transmissions. The use of an oil with the wrong viscosity or lubrication properties might result in inadequate protection and increased wear on the gears. Additives and Properties: GL-3 oil is formulated with specific additives and properties to meet the requirements of manual transmissions. Using a different type of gear oil might not provide the same level of protection against corrosion, oxidation, and wear, which can lead to premature failure of transmission components. Compatibility: It's important to ensure that the oil you use is compatible with the materials used in your scooter's transmission. Using the wrong type of oil could potentially cause seal and gasket degradation, leading to leaks. Manufacturer Recommendations: Manufacturer recommendations exist for a reason. They are based on extensive testing and engineering to ensure that your scooter operates optimally and reliably. Deviating from these recommendations could result in subpar performance and potential long-term damage. It's recommended that you drain the incorrect gear oil and replace it with the correct GL-3 oil as per the manufacturer's specifications. If you're unsure about the compatibility of the gear oil you purchased, you should consult your scooter's owner's manual or contact a professional mechanic for guidance. Using the correct oil will help ensure the longevity and smooth operation of your scooter's transmission. Thank you for watching my video
Thanks sir for your video. I have a question if you please reply:- I have an oil leak in my Chinese scooter 150cc hammers model 2015 from clutch box cover. What is the problem in this case? and how can I solve it?
Hi and thank you for watching my video. I think if you have a leak on cover case you need to remove the cover and find out where is the leak coming from and many time you need to change a gasket or there is a crack in one of the engine body parts any way #1 find the leak you may have to remove the rear clutch and 99 % the leak is behind the clutch and after need to buy a new gasket check this ==>> ( amzn.to/2kn2mrT ) but I not to familiar with your scooter research first for your scooter brand . Good luck
Hi If the oil leak is on the rear left side is possible that is gear oil maybe the rear oil gear plug is lose or is broken or the gasket behind the clutch is damage that is my feeling :-)
Hello I'm not to familiar with SYM but I find a manual for you scootergrisen.dk/scooterhjemmeside/download/sym_hd_servicemanual.pdf Thank you for watching my video
I just did a new rear transmission bearing and I used 85w 140 because that's what I had laying around and temperature around here is about 90 degrees sometimes. If I lived in freezing temps I'd run a 75w-90 or 80w-90. The biggest concern would be make sure it has SOMETHING in it.
Is it possible to overfill the gear oil and cause any issues? I did it this way too where you just squeeze it in til it pours back out. I’ve seen videos where someone used a giant syringe and I might get one of those too.
Hello my friend yes if you overfill the gear box in the long way when you run your scooter you can build up more pressure in the gear box and you can damage the gaskets and your scooter can leak from the back side
@@VirberelloScooterTips That’s what I’ve read and wasn’t sure. I just did my oil changes today. I have a syringe from Amazon coming now so I’ll probably end up draining it back out and check the measurement.
@@JoeillianoHello the way I see is any oil is better then no oil but if your manual say GL 3 the best is to place GL 3 because your scooter was tested with that oil
A stuck drain bolt can be frustrating, but there are a few methods you can try to get it loose: Penetrating Oil: Apply a generous amount of penetrating oil (like WD-40 or PB Blaster) to the drain bolt and let it sit for at least 15-20 minutes. This can help loosen any rust or debris that's causing the bolt to stick. Heat: Carefully apply heat to the area around the drain bolt using a heat gun or a propane torch. The heat can cause the metal to expand slightly, which might help break the bond. Be careful not to overheat and avoid any nearby plastic parts or seals. Use a Breaker Bar: If your ratchet or wrench isn't giving you enough leverage, try using a breaker bar. This will give you more torque to break the bolt free. If you don't have a breaker bar, you can slide a metal pipe over the handle of your wrench or ratchet to increase leverage. Impact Wrench: If you have access to an impact wrench, it can provide short, powerful bursts of torque that might break the bolt loose. Just be careful not to strip the bolt head. Bolt Extractor Socket: If the bolt head is already rounded, you can use a bolt extractor socket. These are designed to grip stripped or rounded bolts more effectively. Tap with a Hammer: Sometimes, gently tapping the bolt head with a hammer can help to jar it loose. Be careful not to damage the bolt or surrounding areas. Use a Vise-Grip: If the bolt head is really damaged, you can try locking a pair of vise-grip pliers onto the bolt and turning it that way. If all else fails and the bolt is really seized, you may need to take the scooter to a mechanic, who might have more specialized tools for removing stuck bolts.
Sir, two questions, is 85w oil okay in 150cc 4 stroke? And I bought an oil container without the little spout to fit in that tiny hole, do they sell that piece on top of your bottle seperately or does it come with the bottle?
Hello james 85w is ok the bottle Pour Spouts comes with the bottle but you can buy a Oil Liquor Wine Free Flow Bottle Pourer Dispenser Spout amzn.to/2v195xP but place a little electric tape on top to make sure you are not damage the screw hole or check this video will help you to make 1 cheap ah ah ah ruclips.net/video/f_5lJmhU9mQ/видео.html Thank you for watching my video
Hello Virebello, I have a question for you. I was wondering why my scooter does not start up on the first try. The person I bought it from said they already had it serviced and that it just needed to be warmed up everyday. What is your opinion?
Hello Putin Diaz if the scooter is not starting at the fist try can be many many things when you buy the scooter they can say they service yesterday to make the deal and many mechanic do not love their profession they only do it for the money but is you who ride the scooter . Your scooter or motorcycle is made from many parts working together like an orchestra to make sure is working right need to be in tune. Start from the spark plug and make sure you spark plug is nice clean and give you a strong spark and is gap right many sparkplug are allready gaped but if is not gap right your scooter will not start at first try if not buy a new one $6 to $10 check my video here ==>> ruclips.net/video/dFSasN8WQl4/видео.html cleanthe check filter if is not clean === >>> ruclips.net/video/T31bHL2jyvs/видео.html buy new one very cheap on amazon. Make sure your fuel filter under the seat is clean and you need to make sure the gas goes to your carburetor from the gas tank if your scooter is older I say around 5000 to 6000 miles is possible that you need a valve adjustment. Some time in Gy6 carburetors the automatic chock fail the only easy way to test that is to remove the filter connection in the back side of you carburetor and place your hand covering the rear air intake with your hand reducing hair flow and starting your scooter and if it start right that is the problem. Anyway can be many many things is all about try to find what is not performing properly Thank you for watching my video
virberello Thank you very much. All your videos are great and easy to follow. I am going to start with the spark plug and follow the rest. Thank you once again. I will let you know what happens.
Hi for the scooter engine my favorite is 10w 40 but if you have a 10w 30 in the house is ok for the winter if you live in a cold area. The two oil types differ in their high temperature viscosity, and 10w40 is thicker than 10w30 when it comes to high temperatures. Thank you for watching my video
Hello Lucas gear oil is heavy duty but not synthetic and will be great for around 2000 miles. You do not need to spend extra money on synthetic because the temperature on the rear gear box they do not go very high and the oil is not breaking down very easily so will last longer. Thank you for watching my video
@@VirberelloScooterTips will a one of long Lighters that you use on grill work. And to make sure I under stand the direction right move the bolt in the direction of the front tire that is to the left.
Virberello, I have a chinese TAO 150 lancer scooter. There is a plastic little window near the mirror and throttle hand side. No idea what that windo is for and no idea how to get it open without breaking it. My front brake is squeeling and I need to know what to check or how to fix it. Thanks for any help!
Hello my friend the little window do not have any purpose I feel that they only replicate the design of the bigger bikes where you can check the brake fluid. Thank you for watching my video
@@JQUICK21 Hello my friend for squeaking the best is to clean or replace the front break pads ruclips.net/video/lB779OEx7no/видео.html and when you clean the brake pads make sure to place a little of brake lubricant ONLY ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE BRAKE PADS only a little bit like a green peas NOT on the side that touch the rotor disk amzn.to/2SHGhGk

Thanks sir for your video. I have a question if you please reply:-
I have an oil leak in my Chinese scooter 150cc hammers model 2015 from clutch box cover. What is the problem in this case? and how can I solve it?
Hi and thank you for watching my video. I think if you have a leak on cover case you need to remove the cover and find out where is the leak coming from and many time you need to change a gasket or there is a crack in one of the engine body parts any way #1 find the leak you may have to remove the rear clutch and 99 % the leak is behind the clutch and after need to buy a new gasket check this ==>> ( amzn.to/2kn2mrT ) but I not to familiar with your scooter research first for your scooter brand . Good luck
virberello thanks very much for your advice :).
Sir do you think that this leak is a gear oil or engine oil?? Referring to your practice.
Hi If the oil leak is on the rear left side is possible that is gear oil maybe the rear oil gear plug is lose or is broken or the gasket behind the clutch is damage that is my feeling :-)
thx man for the info can u plz tell me how much oil ml need for SYM H200I ?
Hello I'm not to familiar with SYM but I find a manual for you scootergrisen.dk/scooterhjemmeside/download/sym_hd_servicemanual.pdf

can i use viscosity 85w140 for my scooter sym fiddle 2
as it recommended in user manual
but recommend 85w90 for outside temp zero or belw !
I just did a new rear transmission bearing and I used 85w 140 because that's what I had laying around and temperature around here is about 90 degrees sometimes. If I lived in freezing temps I'd run a 75w-90 or 80w-90. The biggest concern would be make sure it has SOMETHING in it.
@@aaronkeiser6349
oki thats good my question is 85w140 is good as temp is above 20°c ?
no problem?
That should be just fine

Is it possible to overfill the gear oil and cause any issues? I did it this way too where you just squeeze it in til it pours back out. I’ve seen videos where someone used a giant syringe and I might get one of those too.
Hello my friend yes if you overfill the gear box in the long way when you run your scooter you can build up more pressure in the gear box and you can damage the gaskets and your scooter can leak from the back side
@@VirberelloScooterTips That’s what I’ve read and wasn’t sure. I just did my oil changes today. I have a syringe from Amazon coming now so I’ll probably end up draining it back out and check the measurement.
Hey my scooter says to use GL-3 oil
But i have a gear oil that says GL-5
Should I use GL-3 oil?
@@JoeillianoHello the way I see is any oil is better then no oil but if your manual say GL 3 the best is to place GL 3 because your scooter was tested with that oil
@@VirberelloScooterTips thank you
My drain bolt is literally stuck in place, My ratchet, or wench cannot get a grip to remove it, do you have any ideas on how I could solve this?
A stuck drain bolt can be frustrating, but there are a few methods you can try to get it loose:
Penetrating Oil: Apply a generous amount of penetrating oil (like WD-40 or PB Blaster) to the drain bolt and let it sit for at least 15-20 minutes. This can help loosen any rust or debris that's causing the bolt to stick.
Heat: Carefully apply heat to the area around the drain bolt using a heat gun or a propane torch. The heat can cause the metal to expand slightly, which might help break the bond. Be careful not to overheat and avoid any nearby plastic parts or seals.
Use a Breaker Bar: If your ratchet or wrench isn't giving you enough leverage, try using a breaker bar. This will give you more torque to break the bolt free. If you don't have a breaker bar, you can slide a metal pipe over the handle of your wrench or ratchet to increase leverage.
Impact Wrench: If you have access to an impact wrench, it can provide short, powerful bursts of torque that might break the bolt loose. Just be careful not to strip the bolt head.
Bolt Extractor Socket: If the bolt head is already rounded, you can use a bolt extractor socket. These are designed to grip stripped or rounded bolts more effectively.
Tap with a Hammer: Sometimes, gently tapping the bolt head with a hammer can help to jar it loose. Be careful not to damage the bolt or surrounding areas.
Use a Vise-Grip: If the bolt head is really damaged, you can try locking a pair of vise-grip pliers onto the bolt and turning it that way.
If all else fails and the bolt is really seized, you may need to take the scooter to a mechanic, who might have more specialized tools for removing stuck bolts.
@VirberelloScooterTips Thank you very much for these suggestions, I will try them carefully and if all fail I will take it to a mechanic☝🏾

Sir, two questions, is 85w oil okay in 150cc 4 stroke? And I bought an oil container without the little spout to fit in that tiny hole, do they sell that piece on top of your bottle seperately or does it come with the bottle?
Hello james 85w is ok the bottle Pour Spouts comes with the bottle but you can buy a Oil Liquor Wine Free Flow Bottle Pourer Dispenser Spout amzn.to/2v195xP but place a little electric tape on top to make sure you are not damage the screw hole or check this video will help you to make 1 cheap ah ah ah

Hello Virebello, I have a question for you. I was wondering why my scooter does not start up on the first try. The person I bought it from said they already had it serviced and that it just needed to be warmed up everyday. What is your opinion?
Hello Putin Diaz if the scooter is not starting at the fist try can be many many things when you buy the scooter they can say they service yesterday to make the deal and many mechanic do not love their profession they only do it for the money but is you who ride the scooter . Your scooter or motorcycle is made from many parts working together like an orchestra to make sure is working right need to be in tune. Start from the spark plug and make sure you spark plug is nice clean and give you a strong spark and is gap right many sparkplug are allready gaped but if is not gap right your scooter will not start at first try if not buy a new one $6 to $10 check my video here ==>> ruclips.net/video/dFSasN8WQl4/видео.html cleanthe check filter if is not clean === >>> ruclips.net/video/T31bHL2jyvs/видео.html
buy new one very cheap on amazon.
Make sure your fuel filter under the seat is clean and you need to make sure the gas goes to your carburetor from the gas tank if your scooter is older I say around 5000 to 6000 miles is possible that you need a valve adjustment.
Some time in Gy6 carburetors the automatic chock fail the only easy way to test that is to remove the filter connection in the back side of you carburetor and place your hand covering the rear air intake with your hand reducing hair flow and starting your scooter and if it start right that is the problem.
Anyway can be many many things is all about try to find what is not performing properly
Thank you for watching my video
virberello Thank you very much. All your videos are great and easy to follow. I am going to start with the spark plug and follow the rest. Thank you once again. I will let you know what happens.
Hi bro 😀
can i use 85w140 in my scooter gear oil
Yes that is ok my friend
@@VirberelloScooterTips
can you tell me which is better ? and smoother
Hi what others brands can I use for gear oil for 150cc tao tao gy6 4 stroke scooter
Hello my friend any brand oil is good make sure to have a 80w 90
I have 2014 honda elite 125 cc I changed the engine oil in 10w 30 it's ok? Or have to change it for 10w 40 and what is the difference please
Hi for the scooter engine my favorite is 10w 40 but if you have a 10w 30 in the house is ok for the winter if you live in a cold area. The two oil types differ in their high temperature viscosity, and 10w40 is thicker than 10w30 when it comes to high temperatures. Thank you for watching my video
virberello thanks for your answer appreciated
that gear oil was like new,no need to change?
thanks for the video.
Yes you are right I just changed to make the video Thank you for watching my video
6 ounces of gear oil. I measure it out first in a separate gear oil bottle this way it's proper.
Do you know how much gear oil goes for atv Bashan 200au11b 200cc gy6 engine 163qml
Is the Lucas gear oil you mentioned synthetic? Should I spend more and get synthetic?
Hello Lucas gear oil is heavy duty but not synthetic and will be great for around 2000 miles. You do not need to spend extra money on synthetic because the temperature on the rear gear box they do not go very high and the oil is not breaking down very easily so will last longer.

Virberello, I have a chinese TAO 150 lancer scooter. There is a plastic little window near the mirror and throttle hand side.

virberello GY6 Tips and Tricks Thanks! But what about my front disc brake squeaking?
@@JQUICK21 Hello my friend for squeaking the best is to clean or replace the front break pads ruclips.net/video/lB779OEx7no/видео.html and when you clean the brake pads make sure to place a little of brake lubricant ONLY ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE BRAKE PADS only a little bit like a green peas

refilling your gear oil , hear is a way that's easy, take and get a peace of fuel hose abut six inch. cut the top of your oil bottle off, fit your fuel line on the tip of your oil bottle. this way you can hold your oil bottle up wright and easy to fill..
