Viscosity?
Anything is better than thin air.Get some oil in it before you use it or there will be tears before bedtime.

10w40 and motorcycle oil only!

As already said, you should be checking the oil every week at least and if you start using the bike a little more start checking every day and then you will get a rough idea of how much you use.
