    I would not use that oil , simply because it does not say anything about use with a Wet Clutch ..... If it did meet those requirements , it would say so on the bottle ...... Personally , if you are going to use Automotive Oil , then I would go with the Rotella ....... otherwise , just go with a oil made specifically for bikes , preferably made for Dirt Bikes .... oil is oil as far as lubrication goes , but not all oils work with a wet clutch ......

    Simply put , if it does not say Wet Clutch Compatible , then I would stay away from it ...... it is not important on the engine side , but the tranny side must be compatible with the clutch ...... 8-[

    Basically read this ....

    Can I use car engine oil for motorcycle?

    A car engine oil aims to reduce friction between moving parts in order to provide good fuel economy and efficiency. ... If the friction level is too low, the clutch will not be able to engage and will cause slippage. So what this means is you should choose a special motorcycle oil designed for your bike.

    If the oil does not have listed that it has "Friction Reducers" or "Friction Inhibitors" or "Fuel Saving" additives it is completely compatible with all wet clutch engines. Those additives can cause slippage. Most engine oils do not have those additives.
    Even my 170 HP Honda CBR is fine with regular engine oil with it's wet clutch.
