Just about to change my oil and will add engine and oil additives to it. Came across STP oil additive with the following warning

"Do not use on cars with a 'Wet Clutch' system"

What the hell is a wet clucth? AND I suppose not hearing it before means that the Nova dont use such a system!

Cheers

i'd extend that slightly further to:

"do not use"

i mean seriously what are u planning on adding that shite for?

oil will work a lot better with regular (3000mile) changes than adding some crap from STP or slick50

a wet clutch is one that sits in oil a dry one obviously doesnt. most bikes have wet clutches btw
