I don't recall any info on the labels how much is of each for those 'blend' oils, you are taking control of it.

Rotella Diesel engine oil T4 has compatible lubricants and effective wet clutch performance. I have used it consistently in a half dozen motorcycles. The clutches operate smoothly in my experience using this oil. At $16 per gallon, I see no reason to switch. I wasn't trying not to use motorcycle oil, but just tried it out and it has been great.

Someone actually did some research on this:
