4 stroke means the piston does four strokes to complete the power cycle (intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust), all Spyders have four stroke engines.

I really like it ......I've read tests that show it has the 2nd LEAST amount of Molybdenum in the oil ( Amsoil has the least ). Moly is BAD for WET clutches ( and we have those )....... Also this Valvoline is Jaso Ma-2 rated and few oils have a rating this high .................... BRP's oil doesn't ( to the best of my knowledge )...................Mike

Very good oil and currently on sale for $39.95/6pack on Walmart.com

[Chupaca]

Up there with the top brands of oils. Most any oil meeting the specifications listed in your manual will do well in the spyder rotax engine. There are quite a few out there its just a preference or price decission....

Hi Mike,

Re: this Valvoline is Jaso Ma-2 rated

Just to have a 'look-see' I went to Amazon and found this:

https://www.amazon.com/Valvoline-VV7.../dp/B00DJ4FGMQ

I could not find any info on it being Jaso Ma-2 rated. Do you know if this item is rated as you mentioned?

It is listed as VV-740 as a Valvoline part number.

I am using the "Valvoline Motorcycle oil 4T Stroke "Full synthetic" 10w-40 (SAE) in my 2014RTS-SE6.

I switched to this oil last year. Also, I am going to use the same oil for all of my spyder oil changes. It has Superior Wet Clutch protection.

It's formulated for the specific needs of motorcycles, including high temperature , high RPM'S and wet clutch systems.

Synthetic formula maximizes power and acceleration, Outstanding wet clutch protection for maximum power transfer and smooth shifting.

Excellent wear & corrosion protection to help keep engine performing its best.

Added protection against harmful deposits that can decrease engine performance.
Exceeds API SERVICES: SJ/SG/SF, JASO MA2

Nope Jerry , that is their DINO OIL , the Full Synthetic is in a SILVER container and says 4 T -stroke ...most stores don't carry it..... you have to order it on-line ( in a SIX PACK ) and have it shipped free to your local store or if you buy enough they will ship to your house for free .....read the fine print for that .......

He wanted to know if it was JASO Ma-2 rated. I can get more info if needed. It is rated in the regular oil base and also in the synthetic

I have run it in a Yamaha FZ1 it was much better on the clutch than factory oil and I will run it when the BRP extended warranty runs out.

Why would you wait until the warranty runs out? This oil meets ALL of the BRP specs for the oil. Its fully compatible with your warranty. This is the oil we use for all 998 oil changes. Very good product and far superior to the XPS oil.
