Scoot Check

Dang... just talked to an ol' motorcycle repair guy. He said he could swear my Chinese Ymoto scooter is not a 4-stroke engine, but a 2-stroke.
For those familiar with various petrol-powered lawn maintenance devices, you realize this means that oil must be added to the fuel, lest Very Bad Things start to happen to the engine.

Now, the owner's manual shows an oil tank or crankcase fill, one -- it's not clear. But given that the oil capacity is 1.0L, I have to wonder which it is...

I'm prepping for a true cross-town scooterrific adventure -- Madison, just north and east of me, about 11 miles, as the crow flies. It'll be 20 miles, by the time I circumvent the heavily-trafficked areas. However, first stop: Auto Zone.
