I mix a 50/50 blend of Dexron 6 ATF and 10-40 motorcyle synthetic oil. I only do it this way because I used to have 4 stroke bikes and had a couple cases of 4t oil sitting around. This way I can use it up. I also keep Dexron 6 on hand for my truck.
I'll still mix a good 4t bike oil or similar and ATF once my stock of 10-40 has run out.

I put 900 ml in and change it every 20 hrs.

Honestly, these bikes are tanks and you could probably run just about anything in them without issue.....

If Castrol is your choice, you can also use their MTX oil which is made for gearboxes like ours. I have used it some times and it works just fine.

over the years and the last few bikes, i have tried all sorts of different oils and atf... some are better for the chirpy clutch, most dont make much difference.
i pretty much use whatever reasonable quality oil is on sale at the time, and have never had clutch or gearbox issues... i like penrite products, but im australia.... as said before these things are basically the massy fergison of the bike world....
regular oil changes is the secret i believe.....

OK so I'm bringing this up. Hate oil threads. Anyway I have had a couple of cases of Bel-Ray 10W-40 Mineral Oil. I haven't been real happy with it in the Gassers. However I can't argue with free. But it's all used up.

I'm 99% sure I'm going to switch to Rotella 5W-40, T6. Full synthetic. Just double checking myself that with that. That's pretty much what all our machines will switch to.

Any issues?

I'm using 0W-40 Rotella T6 and it works OK. I had 5W-40 T6 before and can't tell any difference.

I doubt any oil will get rid of the typical clutch drag on a wet clutch. The only time I get clutch noise is if I'm in a gear too high for the conditions.
