Most importantly it needs to be wet clutch friendly, after that it is personal preference. A lot of guys run Rotella, either 15w40 or the 5w40 T6 full synthetic. Personally, I run Amsoil 0W40, although I'm off road only

I've struggled with anything engine oil based. Pj1 clutch tuner is the best I've tried so far.
