Ou can use any oil that is JASO MA certified motorcycle oil. 10w-40 for cold climate. 20w-50 for warm climate/touring. Car oils use different additives and may cause scoring in certain types of cam bearings. Do not use any oil that says " Energy Conserving " on the label . It will shorten the life of your wet clutch and transmission gears. If you choose Synthetic oils, they will help your bike run cooler and shift easier. Shell Rotella T and Rotella T Synthetic 15w-40 are inexpensive JASO MA oils. You will need 4 quarts of oil, an aluminum drain plug washer, and a filter. Pour in 3.5 quarts , run the motor, and check the oil level . Top up as needed.
First word should be "You"
Oil amount can vary from model to model. The magic quantity for most Honda's is 3.4 quarts. This will vary from 1 quart on a single cylinder model to 4 quarts for a Goldwing. Do not over fill your engine. Keep checking your dipstick. When you hit the high mark on the dipstick, run the motor and double check the level on the dipstick. Any left over oil from this oil change can be used on the next oil change. Rotella oil runs about $12 for regular and $22 for full synthetic.

Except for the new four stroke motocross bikes and older 2 strokes, Honda motorcycle transmissions and engines are running in the same oil bath.
