Three holes.
Three different oils.
They make different oils for different reasons.
Not that much difference in the prices for oil.
Buy what it is designed for.
Some figure same oil for easy carry.
How many times do you have to add oil?

You'll find that if you start an oil thread, you're going to have to accept a bit of a beating.
I would say most people on this forum don't use the same oil in all three holes.
I use synthetic 20W50 motorcycle oil in the engine. Pick a quality brand you like and run with it.
I have been useing Spectro Platimun in the transmission but have now switched to Amsoil v twin transmission fluid because of availability.
I use Bel Ray primary fluid in the primary.
Good luck.
