The endless discussion about the best types of oils  ;D ;D ;D ;D

You can take 15W40 till 20W50 but ONLY !!!! Mineral

Yup, oil and enough of it should do.

Any good mineral oil will do, semi-synth or full-synth is not necessary, but will work fine with uprated clutch springs. (Not sure about stock!) Most importantly: no car oils with friction optimizers of any sort.

Cheers,
