Theres a ton of fancy oils, but to tell you the truth its all in the rating.

Any 10w-40 with an sl/sm rating is good oil. I run STP 10w-40 with an SM rating.

sf or sg sounds pretty low in rating. The higher the letter the better. I think the highest off the shelf is sm.

And welcome to the site!

I never noticed that?

Ive always ran SM. Much better oil. it seems to run just fine so I continue to use it.

The clutch will be fine with 10w-40:cool: As long as its the manufactures rating oil or higher

(sf-sm)
