Apparently the 4T designation means it for motorbikes, what difference that makes I havent a clue?
Depending on what Nobbers clonker is, some of the so called classic oils arent for turbocharged motors.
Its all in the spec ie the ACEA and API numbers/letters.

I use Halford classic 20/50 in my series cos it don't stay in the engine long enough to do any harm, but I wouldn't put it in anything modern.

Its a Turbo Diesel so not all oils work in it, that halfords stuff you could just as easily pour tea into the engine. Halfords did do a mineral oil for a Turbo diesel but they stopped and now do a part synthetic instead, Castrol GTX from what I can gather has gone synthetic, in fact quite a few of the well known brands have all gone synthetic, thats why I thought maybe it was being phased out. Comma still do it, Amazon product

Tried that years ago, it bled past seals and gaskets like they weren't there. Way too slippery for my old engine.

Most motorcycles run a wet clutch, the non friction stuff in car engine oil makes a bike clutch slip

Try Withams, they have lots, all different grades, all different sizes, and not too far from you.

I should really know that as I ran bikes for years, but always ran them on the works oil which was either 10/40 or 15/40!
