Alright so I bought 5 of those 1 quart bottles of AMSOIL 100% Advanced Synthetic 10W-40 oil at 13 bucks a quart not too long ago; this is what I've always used in my bike for the year that I've had it. However, the guy I bought it from about 2 years ago, who is currently helping me rebuild my bike, is telling me that synthetic oil is bad, bad, bad, even quality AMSOIL. Keep in mind his son has been racing all his life, he's now 18, and he's been through many bikes and quads. So he's telling me that he has burned up clutch after clutch on his sons bikes until he switched to regular oil and has never had a problem. What kind of oil do you use? I cant find the receipt for these 5 bottles of AMSOIL so I really wanna use it up. The bottle tells me its safe for wet clutches and that its specifically made for these kinds of high performance bikes....it even says "no friction modifiers for outstanding wet clutch performance." Whats the truth here?
Also I wanted to know what these mean, or a website where I can find out what these mean. These are the oil technicalities off the back of the AMSOIL bottle:
API SG, SL/CF/CG-4
JASO MA/MA-2
ISO-L-EMA2
