I hope it wasn't for a Wet Clutch (motor cycle oil)

Also FYI, if you have an old setup, it may CLEAN your seals/seams out from
any gunk, and cause your seals to leak oil if they are old.  A rebuild can
handle synthetic, but a old engine with old seals will leak 90% of the time.

I prefer Lucas Magnum  ( Lucas SAE 15W-40 Magnum High TBN CI-4 Oil)  as it
has the right ZINC additives as well to reduce wear.  This oil is
advertised as a Diesel oil which makes no difference really.
