I'm not an oil buff but i think if they make an oil specifically for the transmission wet clutch that's what you should use. I have put the hp4, the Honda red bottle and Maxima MTL all in my tranny at separate times. The MTL definitely shifts the smoothest.

I've got an idea :
Use what the manual says, it is very clear what the service requirements and weights are , or any of the Maxima products.
This is a stupendously boring subject with all you want to possibly read on it here and all over the internet. Doug

Or which set of radiator guards and grips! Well, actually only grips. We all know that Flatlands are the best radiator guards.

Clarified Impact Copolymer Polypropylene (Very Clear, not foggy like natural)

Lexan is too brittle. Lexan Clutch cover would be cool though

WOW! guys...WOW!!!

Just change often damnit! and don't worry about the nit-picky details of quality differences.

Remember, oil doesn't break down, oil gets dirty. That's when it gets bad. Don't let your oil get dirty.
