    any quality synthetic will work fine, the advantage to the synthetic is you can run it a bit longer
    there are many opinions on the subject and some even run type "F" atf
    i currently am using Torco, but have run others in the past, really have not noticed any difference
    just my dealer carries Torco and it works fine

    ive had good results with ATF - F and also briggs and stratton 20 wt mineral oil. these are good for a sad clutch at the end of its working life.
