 Like other vehicles, other oils can be used.  The key with the wet clutch is look for oils which are NOT "energy conserving".  (You will find that any mufti-viscosity oil with a 2nd # of 40 weight or higher will NOT be energy conserving, and is therefore acceptable in wet clutch applications).

-Written back in '03 for the Boss 302 website but points out or debunks some myths like 'thicker is better', 'racing oil is good', 'synthetic only for commercial use', etc. Is a little less technical than the Wikipedia article, but very understandable and informative, and definitely worth the read.
+Written back in '03 but still very applicable and points out or debunks some myths like 'thicker is better', 'racing oil is good', 'synthetics are too slippery', etc. Is a little lengthy but technically easier reading than many articles.
