Tao Tao Lancer 150

Jayman77 · 09-01-2016, 07:43 PM

Anyone here hove one I just got mine together and took it for a spin and I have to say it is very nice.
Still have a few things on it to inspect but I figured a few break in miles on factory oil before replacing it was fine.
And thing I need to worry about

I would promptly change the engine and rear gear oil. I used Castrol Syntec 75W90 gear oil in the rear gear and Pennzoil 10W30 Synthetic in the engine.

You should also set the valves.

It calls for 15 40 I was going to use good old Chevron 400 have you ever tried the synthetic diesel oils

Also do you break in before switching to synthetic

That look great Jayman! I used to work with a guy who rode a Lancer to work everyday all the way across North Sac. Rain or shine. Had no real problems with it.

Weldangrind · 09-06-2016, 12:05 PM

Oh I know. I'm still struggling mightily with videos. On my TV, they're crystal clear. On my PC they're crystal clear....but when I load to You Tube, they go to hell. I had to put it down for a while....

Take pics when the blue exhaust is done!
