Thanks HB, but I have read on various forms over here that you could get adverse affects using diesel or auto oil Vs MC oil. Not because of the engine, but for the transmission. Some people have had the clutch slip intermittently and when they went back to MC oil the slippage went away.

If you can believe anything the oil Mfg say, there is an additive in MC oil that's not in auto oil, just for the transmission.

Castrol power one for MC 15W40 is not that expensive. Approx. $7 a litre Vs full synthetic @ approx. $17 a litre.

Castrol power one is a combo std oil and syn.
