You could use that if you want to f@@k your clutch I guess, or you could use the proper stuff, which is SAE30

250/275ml of 30sae. Easiest way to fill your casings with oil is with a syringe. If you have already removed the oil, sometimes it may take a little less, as there will be oil still inside the engine. I use Rock Oil.

I have one of those cans to, is it red by any chance. 100ml syringe is still easier.
