I was just wondering if when i go to change my oil on my 01yzf600r if i can use any oil like from the auto parts store or if i have to get the stuff thats made by yamaha. also if i could use the stuff from the auto store what would be the best grade and such. thanks in advance

yeah, use motorcycle oil, not car oil

Use motorcycle oil, it's designed to withstand the higher rpm your bike produces. Don't use car oil,,,that's yuky.

if u use car oil after a while your clutch will slip becasue the fibers soak up the car oil...motorcycle oil has additives for your clutch and for ur tranny gears....car oil cant withstand the tightness in between the gears and it will fling off.....use motorcycle oil only
