I can chime in on this one. I have used auto oils instead of motorcycle specific oils for pretty much the whole 30+ years I've been riding, and I have never had an oil related problem with my clutches. I've fried a few of them too. It really isn't a big deal. Try what ever oil you want to, and see what happens. I tend to agree with those who say that if your clutch slips because of a change in oil type, it means that your clutch was ready to go anyways. You can always cheat a little by putting in preload washers on your springs{coil type}, or putting in heavy duty springs.
