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.

If there is no spout, then the engine is 2-stroke and 2-cycle oil must be added to the gasoline.

How do you tell if your 50cc moped is a 2 stroke or a 4 stroke?

To determine if your 50cc moped is a 2-stroke or a 4-stroke, check the engine design and oiling system. A 2-stroke engine typically has fewer components, no separate oil reservoir, and requires mixing oil with fuel. In contrast, a 4-stroke engine has a separate oil system and usually features a valve train with camshafts and timing mechanisms. Additionally, you can consult the owner's manual or look for identifying marks on the engine.
