Default What oil to use

Hi i got a 2009 blade and need to do an oil change. I know I must used synthetic 10w40 oil but now I heard that if I used normal car synthetic 10w40 oil my clutch might slip. Do I have to buy oil made for motor cycles like Castrol Actevo 10w40 or can I buy the motor vehicle oil(synthetic 10w40)? Will I have any problems?

You must use oil that is JASO-MA certified. Look in the list on the back of the bottle to make sure it's listed. Most car oils are not approved, but some diesel oils are like Rotella.

A lot of us use Shell Rotella T6. Every vehicle I own uses this stuff (either 5W-40 or 5W-30).
Amazon Amazon

Dunno where you are or if you have access to this stuff, but it's inexpensive oil and very good stuff.

Edit: Maybe I should say 'stuff' a few more times: stuff stuff stuff. There!
