RE: Engine oil change...
i use car oil...third gen uses car oil...lots of riders i know use car oil...
use what you want, but do not push your false information on the board unless you got stuff to back it up.
as long as the oil is labeled as non-energy conserving then it's fine to use with wet clutch.
moly is present in many motorcycle oils (honda GN4, HP4, etc.)...just not in quantities large enough to make your clutch slip.
a test done by sportrider awhile back regarding motorcycle specific oils found moly in oil that claimed to have no moly in it...it was in trace amounts. conclusion was that a little moly is not enough to make the clutch slip.
