I'm not sure either. I would check out a dirtbike forum to be 100% sure on that. If they don't have the oil upgrade then I would look into getting that done sometime in your engine's lifetime.
As for maintenance, oil changes, change oil filter, clean and oil air filter, put gas in it, change spark plug (very rarely in 4-strokes), change jetting whenever mods are added/taken away and the temperature or altitude changes. With a bike you eventually will replace fork seals, wheel bearings, etc. as you ride it more and more. Pick up a manual and learn as you go along.
