Oiling an air cooled turbo

What oil would you use? Some synthetic car oils do not work well with my wet clutch. The motor is now broke in.

Mobile sells a bike specific Mobil 1.

That was certainly one of my options, synthetics always seem to leak more than conventional oils.

A friend suggested a straight grade (40) racing oil.

With a Turbo motor I would stay away from the synthetics. I would look at a straight 40 or even 50 weight racing oil.
