    Engine oil

    What type of oil is best in these engines / clutches ?
    I have a 1980 GS750 and am running Penrite Everyday Premium mineral oil 15w-40.
    I have heard of people using diesel engine oil.
    Any thoughts ?

    Oh man ! Are you going to catch it.... So before someone comes on and tells you to use the search feature I'll throw out this. The consensus around here seems to be Rotella T both for quality and price reasons. It's a diesel oil and I use the 15-40 weight as that is what is offered at my local Taiwan Tire outlet....
