Drain it out and replace with proper oil
if your scooter has a engine oil dip stick then it is a four stroke. if it has a oil tank that you have to put oil in then it is 2 stroke.
You need to define what your use of the oil will be. If you mean adding oil to the fuel, you do not need to do this on an 4 stroke motor. Or maybe you mean engine oil, or maybe transmission oil?
2 stroke oil. Try to get some synthetic oil, it's a little more expensive, but gives your scooter more progress and a lot longer life. Dont get the cheap gas station ones, they are a waste, and will tear up your engine. 2 stroke oil.

If you really, really have to, it's possible to mix-regular 4-stroke engine oil with the fuel instead. It's usually recommended to use a richer mixture in that case. But it's overall far better to use the correct type - 2-stroke oil - instead.
Usually, a small 2-stroke engine wouldn't have any oil put in it directly at all. It would have a certain percentage of oil mixed into the fuel instead.
The best way to know if an engine is 2-stroke or 4-stroke, is to look for an oil spout. If the engine has an oil spout where oil has to be poured into, it is a 4-stroke. If the engine has no oil spout and the oil has to be added to the fuel, then it is a 2-stroke.
Two-stroke oil is two-stroke oil. Any good brand is fine.
Most board scooters or old mopeds are two-stroke engine. This means that they mix the fuel with oil (two cycle oil). Usually the ratio is 1:20. Most four-stroke-engines mopeds have their oil cap under the seat.
It is possible to use 4-stroke oil in a 2-stroke engine in an emergency situation. You should not use this oil in the long term as it will damage the engine.
If it is a 2-stroke engine, 2-cycle engine oil is added to the gasoline. If the engine is 4-stroke, regular 30W motor oil is used. To tell if your engine is 2-stroke or 4-stroke, look for a spout where oil is poured into the engine. If there is no spout, then the engine is 2-stroke and 2-cycle oil must be added to the gasoline.
There is no oil to change in a two stroke engine. The lubricant is the oil that is mixed with the gas.
It should tell you in little markings on the 2-stroke oil bottle how much per gallon. It's not a huge amount; just enough to stop it seizing without billowing oily smoke Phil
