Remember to use a motorcycle grade 10w-40/30 not a car oil.
Wet clutches don't like car oil.

Engine oil is two-stroke - not gearbox..

Some Crisp n' Dry would do the trick if you're pushed

Incorrect, engine oil could be two stroke lube oil or Gear oil, and Crisp and Dry cooking oil is possibly the worst thing you could advise someone to stick in to any engine.
