I just filled with 5-40 Shell Rotella T6 available at walmart. Its one of the few synthetics without additives and are safe for motorcycle wet clutch's. Its widely used in the motorcycle community.

Does the 20weight help with shifting being a thicker oil? :) I'll gladly change over if thats the case..
