Made a video I was so impressed with this motor even though the original owner went some crazy amount of miles between oil changes turning the engine brown inside still doesn't burn or leak any oil.
I use Walmart SuperTECH 10w30 100% synthetic and ST6607 car oil filter (for the Honda Fit) which this motor is supposedly derived from.
Does Car oil cause the Clutch to Slip?: Except for special situations in general I don't think synthetic or "car" oil causes clutch problems. Since my first motorcycle in the 80's I've hear things like "don't use Castro brand oil". I intentionally used it a bunch of times and never had a clutch problem. My NC's clutch was about 75% worn @ 33K miles when I got the bike in 2019. After using the SuperTECH 10w30 oil for 6,000 miles nothing has worn so I'm not worried about wearing out the clutch.
