I use rotella in mine not the synthetic just the original diesel oil dosent have the friction modifiers in it to cause it to slip either

Synthetics are not the problem- you cannot use an oil that is either Friction Modified nor Energy Conserving. SOME car oils contain these and cannot be used- I use Valvoline Engine Armour Semi-Synthetic car oil in most of my bikes and have done for well over 100000km of use. No clutch issues so far caused by the oil.
