I see the manual says to use 10W-40 cycle oil, just wondering what brand everyone is using in their 750 NH.

Conventional or synthetic?

Thanks

I use Shell Rotella T4 15W-40.  It's a great oil for a very reasonable price, and it meets the required JASO-MA specification.
Some people have experienced leaking with synthetics.
Honda GN-4 10W-30 is also a good option.

This is usually an unpopular opinion..... I use Motul, Valvoline, Castrol, Mobile 1, among others. Pretty much any oil designed for wet clutch. I switch between conventional and synthetic. I also use K&N filters. The one with the nut at the end. There is a little hole in the nut part that you can use wire to make sure it does not loosen up.

Same, good price and availability. Used on both the NH and Magna.
