Default What Oil do You Use in Your Bayou 300?

Planning on changing out the oil in my new-to-me '98 Kawi 300 4x4. Awaiting my Clymer manual to arrive. Do I have to use a special oil because of this is a wet sump engine/transmission? BTW - I will change the filter as well with a Wix/NAPA Gold.

I recently picked up a '97 Bayou 300. Use oil friendly to wet clutches - I put in Valvoline ATV oil 10W30 from autozone.

My clutch is slipping in the higher gears, but I don't think its due to the oil.

I use Rotella in my Bayou and my XR dirtbike. Its good stuff, wet clutch friendly and inexpensive.
