Shell Rotella is a good all around oil for all vehicles including scooters since it carries the JASO/MA rating as well.
JASO-MA
JASO is an acronym that stands for "The Japanese Automotive Standards Organization." Among other things, they set standards for oil to be used in motorcycles.
Shell Rotella T 15W-40 conventional oil now lists on its packaging JASO MA as one of the specifications it meets, as does the Rotella website product page:
Note that the 10W-30 conventional oil does not list JASO-MA.
The newer fully synthetic T6 5W-40 oil also lists JASO-MA compliance on its packaging and on the Rotella website.

Just because it's the right weight oil does not mean it's the right oil for your vehicle. You got to read the API rating.[/SIZE]
