Get the shell advance ultra for scooters. You wont regret it.

I have been told the same by Blackstone on my cars, though I still do it once a year given the cost is <$75. However, I do follow their advice on intervals, after once being a 5,000 mile interval guy. On all three of our cars, using Castrol Edge 5W-20, I've repeatedly gotten analysis that tells me that, at 7,500-10,000 miles, the oil is still performing as intended.
I've had good luck with Castrol for several years in two WRXs.
If your interval is 30,000km / 20k mi (2Y) then you should use the higher spec VW 503 / 504 (left page) if you have the 15,000km / 10k mi (1Y) interval then you can use the lower grade VW 501 / 502 oil on the right page.
I always use Castrol, good quality oil won't hurt the engine and is just slightly more expensive than off-brands.
I use 5w40 shell helix ultra on my 520i. It doesn't burn a single gram, it's relatively inexpensive (cheaper than the liquy moly I used to use) and is BMW long life 01 approved. The car runs smoothly, I'd recommend it
BEST OIL FOR A MOTORCYCLE IS SHELL ROTELLA 15W-40
I use Castrol EDGE Fully synthetic oil in my 2013 Mazda 3 skyactiv. It does burn a little but I did not have any issues.
Stay away from the stuff that the dealer puts in, the Euro Car formula(5w-30 i believe) that Castrol makes is a Blend, meaning not fully synthetic and it shears and burns really quick.
