What oil do you normally use on a raptor in the summer? Also would valvoline 10-30 synthetic work? If it don't and you put it what will most likely happen?

i would use a synthetic made for wet clutch use especially in the south. ie. super summer. Mobil MX4T works great for me.

If its automotive oil it might cause a problem. Autos don't have to deal with the wet clutch and can add some friction modifers to help make the engine last, but in a wet clutch set-up it can cause it to slip.

I use Honda HP4 synthetic without molly, it has work well for me the little I have used it.
