bought from watford yesterday but believed (told) nationwide, looking at the codes on container this is a good spec oil. very good price for a fully synthetic oil.

Is it Ester based or a cracked mineral oil. If it's Ester I'm off to Asda with my trailer

I know a BEC normally uses semi synthetic but what would the effects be of putting this in an R1 engine?

How would it effect the clutch and engine?

Bad. Car engine oils have funky friction modifiers that a clutch really wouldn't like. New clutch pads are not cheap. Not worth it IMHO.
