as above, i have read loads of threads about different oils to use in my R i have decided i am going to use a standard car oil in both sides.

I have readily access to

Shell Helix 5w/40 Fully synthetic
Shell Helix Super 10w/40 part Synthetic

Both are used in diesel engines and recommended by VW.

I have searched to see if these oils have Molys in them and have found no answers.

2 questions

a) are either of these ok to use
b) which one will be best

Thanks

if it didn't have moly in it, it would say "without moly". i would not trust it in my bike, but you can maybe call shell and ask them if it's safe for wet clutchs

Use a tranny specific oil in the tranny side... like the honda hp tranny oil (red bottle)
