A 4-stroke engine has an intake,compression, power, exhaust stroke, every 2 complete revolutions of the engine. Only have the cylinders fire every revoultion. An example: a 3.0L v6 only has only half (1.5L) making power every revolution.

A 2-stroke (like a dirt bike), all the events happen in 1 revolution, intake and compression=1 and power/exhaust= the other. The same example but a 2-stroke, all 3.0L are producing power.

2 strokes make more power for the same displacement are light and have less parts. The down size is,because they run a oil/fuel mixture they normally can't pass today emissions standards. This is why mainly small motors, I.E. weed wacker, chains saws, etc. are 2 strokes.

What kind of oil do you use for 4 stroke 125 scooter?

You need to define what your use of the oil will be. If you mean adding oil to the fuel, you do not need to do this on an 4 stroke motor. Or maybe you mean engine oil, or maybe transmission oil?
