I have used GTX - SAE 5W-30 for a couple years...seems to work great in my '94 F2. But I am in the South where it's very hot.

Amsoil and Mobil 1 full synthetic. They are a little bit more pricey per quart but well worth the money. 5W20 is what I use.

Are you guys using car oil? Or does castrol and mobile ect sell motorcycle blends also? Always heard car oil was terrible for the clutch.

NO I dont use car oil, but I have heard of others who use/swear by car oil in a motorcycle not me though. Like I said I use Mobil 1 4T.
This is it:

You can use a car oil as long as its not labeled as Energy Conserving. Its the energy conserving oils that are bad for wet clutches.

I've used Mobil1 15W50 synthetic auto oil in my F3 for 78k miles and in my current bike which will be at 20k soon.
