Typical oil company secrecy means you have to resort to the MSDS sheet to get a clue as to what they've put in their product. It doesn't list molybdenum disulphide as a constituent, which is the usual trouble-maker for wet clutches... however, other additives such as calcium sulphonate may cause similar problems in high concentrations, and they don't list the proportions.
If the slippage only appeared after you'd put the stuff in there, then that does point the finger at the oil. On the other hand, if you only started looking for the problem as a result of belated concerns about its suitability, then it may well just be tired clutch springs. The OE springs are a bit marginal and do weaken with age. New ones aren't too expensive and they are easy to replace.
