Yes soak them, but not in that oil and do not use that oil. For clutches anything with moly is bad.

1. Soak you clutch plates in what ever oil you will run in your engine.

2. What ever oil you get must obtain the right API rating, found on the back of the container. Most likely an SF or SG rating. This is made for a 4-stroke motorcycle/ATV with engine, clutch, and transmission all lubricated by one fluid.
