You could use car oil but it depends which oil your using

[xrracerr]

sae 10w-40 castrol gtx motor oil if not tell me what kind i should use

[sleeman]

Make sure that its a non energy conserving oil this should be writen on the back. Energy conserving oils have friction modifiers which are not good for your clutch. Your oil should be okay but i would personally go with AMSOIL 10w40.

dosent say anything about energy

[sleeman]

I give you the green light but check out this website for fun WWW.AMSOIL.COM.

In the ol 1971 sl350 , factory manual says quality30 wt. So we, at time, used quaker state. Bike still runs fine to this day. My xr600r 1994 gets 20/50 castrol.
