Oil "without car-type additives"
I'm not quite sure where to put this question, but I'll try it here:
My "other" bike has a wet sump, meaning that the engine and the gear box shares the same oil. Someone on the net adviced me to use semi-synthetic oil on this bike. But, they prompted, the oil should be "without car-type additives". This being a while ago, I can't recall where I heard this advice and - more importantly - hence can't get them to explain what, exactly, these car-type additives are. Are there any semi-synthetic oil 5W-40 / 10W-50 without car-type additives readily available on the market? Anyone in the greasy business who might know what this is supposed to mean?
Take care!
