1978 Honda CB550 Supersport - My first retro bike rolling restoration!

Worries me it is semi synthetic listed for a car so may have friction inhibiters that wont do clutch any good

I presume I can use the same oil on the the ignition plates felt pad to lubricate it?

I would not use that oil on a motorcycle. It is the wrong spec for a engine with combined clutch and gearbox.

Oops... I just fully read the specs :-\
What would you guys recommend for these bikes?

My local place(try not yo use eurocarparts) charge £15.46 plus vat for 5ltr, just dont say its for a motorcycle or they get worried as they dont have recommendations for that tell them its an old Ford or Vauxhall.

Is this oil the correct spec mineral oil for the SOHC’s?
