back in the day i used to use some of my dads car engine oil which I found in his garage.
Now I use a Castrol oil which is recommended for my car 0w30 grade. I dont think it matters too much unless your engine is highly tuned.
I use Rock Oil ST90 for my other scooter, Lambretta 186cc.

SAE 30 also used in air cooled VW’s so you can pick up 5 ltrs for about £22.
Enough for about a million oil changes :-)

In our long distant youth, while on Youth opportunity programs @ £25( thanks Maggie) a week ,which went up to £26.10 in the hand as a first year apprentice Plumbing and Heating Engineer , a few of us ran Vespas with two stroke oil in the gearbox for months (was Norrie Kerr (Hail Norrie ) I think, said it could be used as such, in an emergency 😉😱) with no I'll affects that anyone ever came across, lol.
SAE 30 since becoming a big boy tho 😱😉😂.mij☺
