Green cap is automotive oil. too many friction modifiers. DONT USE AUTOMOTIVE OILS.drain it out before it hurts the clutch

use the mobil 1 red cap, or if you're having trouble finding it (mobil has since changed their formula, so red cap is getting harder to find), use Amsoil 10w40 synthetic for spring, and Amsoil 20w50 for summertime.

i use mobil 1 green cap in my Jeep, and Amsoil 10w40 synthetic in my bike. i swear by synthetics, especially these two.
