Just use a good grade of motorcycle or atv oil suitable for wet clutches.(No friction modifiers) Lucas makes it along with Mobil 1, Amsoil or even Rotella 5-40 synthetic is jaso ma and md rated (good for most wet clutches). Most additives I've found have some sort of friction modifiers. Best just to go with a good oil with recommended viscosity rate for your machine. OPT

Thanks.. You have also seen my other post. I'm no looking for what the manufacturer calls for but instead the thickest wet clutch safe oil.. ? I will look into the ones you mentioned and see what they offer. Thanks again..
