This was on another forum oil thread:-

"Back in the early to mid 90's, Ducati used to recommend AGIP Sint 2000 10W40 for the two valve bikes. Then a little later switched to AGIP 20W50 Super Racing. When Ducati got Shell sponsorship, they started recommending Shell. But still a 20W50. In warm weather, I recommend the 20W50 and when it gets colder, you can switch to 10W40 to help your motor turn over a little easier."
The '93 Monster owners manual [Page 63] says 3.5 litres of Agip 4T Super Racing in the sump and filter. The sticky next to the clutch cover repeats this.

I recently bought oil at Moto Rapido and they now supply Motul 4T 10/40 fully synthetic.
