I use a modern detergent 10W40 4 stroke motorcycle oil like Castrol good old Canadian tire. I might switch to synthetic 10W40. I think the modern oils are superior to the older non detergent oil like 30w oil but I do know people like Loud mouse use it with out any problems.

You can use any oil you choose as long as the modern oil is formulated for the wet clutch. Beware of the oils with friction modifiers as your clutch will likely slip. Rusty
