I think all the Chinese manuf. recommend 10w-40 (Many use Rotella-T), and 1 liter capacity for the 200cc's.

1 Liter 10W/40. Any brand will do as long as its not 'Energy COnserving'. Those are not good for wet clutches.

One liter is equal to 1.06 quarts, or 1 quart and 2 ounces.

If you have a sight glass, just use that; don't worry too much about the actual quantity. Make sure that the bike is plumb and level when checking the sight glass.

Is it normal to have to lean the bike alittle towards the glass side to see it fill up?

If you're not seeing oil at the full mark with the bike vertical, the oil level is too low.

A little more. The extra 1/10th may put it in the sightglass.
