Default What engine oil are you using?

Its about time for the first oil change to my -00 ec300. I was wondering which oil should I use? Wet clutch compatible?

I've used Rotella, both synthetic and dyno.

I've also used pure Walmart ATF as well as a 50/50 blend of ATF and Rotella. Why? I dunno.

I normally use 100% ATF.

sounds like me. i've used them all. currently on rotella... was running 0w-40 amsoil forever, but this bike doesn't seem to mind the rotella. other bikes i've had would have terrible clutch action with it. atf you gotta change more frequently, but i'm changing every 2-4 hours anyways.

The guys oversea's arent going to know about Rotella. Just use a readily available oil that is JASO MA as listed on the bottle and you will be fine.
