Pretty much any 10w40 bike oil will do you fine. You don't have to pay for the fancy stuff.

DO NOT put car oil in your bike. Cars don't have wet clutches, bikes do. Magnetic oil on a metallic clutch plate wouldn't be nice.

The last time I put oil in the bike is was Castrol 5w40 bike oil, which is more of a track oil than a road oil, and cost £30.99 for 4ltrs, but it was a case of supply & demand. I needed oil quickly, that's all they had.
