so I have found this Castrol Power 1 Racing 4t 10 40 fully synthetic.
With the following specs.
Specifications



API SJ

Yes it will work jaso ma2

[billybovine]

That will work just fine.

It is a oil designed for a motorcycle.
It does not have an API rating of SM.
It is 10W40 close enough to spec of 5W40.
Not a required spec but as a bonus has a JASO clutch slip rating of MA2

Frankly, imho, that's better than anything you can get from BRP, and far exceeds the Spyder's oil spec's....................Mike :thumbup:

JASO MA1 and JASO MA2 both cover different parameters for the wet clutch.
Plain JASO MA without a number after covers the same parameters as both 1 and 2 combined, plus more.
I only use JASO MA without a number as that's what's recommended by the makers.
Just had this debate with my Penrite stockists.
JASO MA approved Penrite 5-40 MC full Synthetic is what I use.

From My Experience Jaso MA2 is BETTER than Jaso MA for the V-Twin 998!!!
Do what you feel is best?
