1000 more than ours.

Ours has been changed by the dealer as part of maintenance. I have
no idea what they used.

If I did it myself, I'd likley go with a Redline product. I used it
in my BMW K100RS tranny and differential. The K bikes had tranny
oil separate from engin oil. Redline was the only tranny oil
which made that notoriously clunky transmission feel smooth.

In fact, I could tell when it was time to change the oil because
it got clunky again.
