i did some quick looking and it looks like (this is kinda averages...)
kinematic 100c/40c
atf+3 7.5/32
atf+4 7.5/35
atf 7.5/39
dexron 6 6/29.5 (valvoline)
amsoil 0w-40 14.7/83.7
maxima mtl-xl(75w) 5.5/31.6

it also tells me that a hot-dragging clutch could possibly be solved with the use of any atf...or mtl-xl, which i ran in the past, and still dragged clutch hot...so....


(p.s. SORRY for the threadjack!)

I buy the Rotella T in the 18.9 liter pale at Canadian tire when it goes on sale. Comes in around 2-3 dollars a liter at sale price. Bike shop oil can't compete with that.

You may want to check at the tractor supply stores,, TSC, they were selling both the rotella and a delco oils in 5 gallon buckets. If you do the math its very cost effective this way and you wont have to look for more for a while.. Last time I got one it was $42 for the 5 gallon.
