Just add 6 ounces of whatever oil you've got and you're fine, Amsoil 20W-50 is great stuff, won't hurt to mix them.

Like the others said,just pour something in there.

You could also go to an autostore and get some 20/50 Valvoline MC oil.

I've got to agree, if it were mine I would top it off with 6oz of some kinda oil, your clutch pack is in there and you want it lubed. I put Rotella T in my primary so its readily available. Its diesel rated and used in many wet clutch MC applications.
