    Pretty much any oil designed for motorcycles with the engine, clutch, and transmission sharing oil. I think you are supposed not to use oil with the energy conserving on the bottom portion of the rating logo. I have in the past used the red cap Mobil 1 which did not have that energy conserving logo but last I looked they have changed their product line.

    Added later, The red cap was 15-50 besides a grey cap the labeling on a modern "bottle" seems the same, nothing in the lower segment of the circle.

    that will be determined by you temps you run in
    cold start is the hardest thing to overcome, too thick of an oil will not protect a cold engine as it can't get there quick enough
    typically fault for the thinner or preheat you oil with an heater under the engine, they did that with WWII airplane engines

    its really hard to say what oil. it seems people in different countries have much different oils to pick from for some reason.
