I saw no mention of Rotella T-6. It's JASO-MA2 rated as a motorcycle oil. I'm new to the world of Spyders, but an old hand with motorcycles and I have found T-6 to be very advantageous for clutches, trannys, lifters and engine protection. A heavier additive package makes it a long term oil. No, I don't sell it or have stock in the company, just a satisfied customer. I have a friend with a 990 RT who uses RT and likes the results.

I shoulda looked farther back to earlier posts before I posted that.
I just sold my last two wheeler, a 2010 Victory Cross Roads I bought new. Of course, it came with the factory Vic oil and the lifters would rattle on cold starts and the shifting was clunky. Other Vic owners said the same. I switched to Rotella T-6 and both of those improved; quiet lifters and smoother shifting. Inadvertently, one time I ran the oil over 7K miles and being worried, I sent in a sample for analysis. The report came back A+ and said there's 3K more miles left on it. That convinced me to stick with Rotella.

The original thread was "What oil do you use ON your Spyder?" I don't use any oil on my Spyder.

My mistake! I use CBD oil ON my F3 to relieve its aches and pains.

I am just curious what brand of oil people use in their Spyders. Does anyone use Valvoline motorcycle oil?

Somewhere in these threads are words/thoughts about Valvoline m/c oil. But, in a word, yes. Valvoline 10w40 syn m/c oil will work just fine.

I have a 2014 RTS-SE6 I use the Valvoline Full Synthetic 4T Motorcycle Oil ( 10w 40).
The Valvoline 4T stroke motorcycle Oil is formulated to provide outstanding Wet Clutch protection for maximum power transfer and smooth shifting. It also delivers performance trusted by motorcycle owners and race teams around the world. It is formulated for the specific needs of high performance motorcycles including high temps, high RPMS, and wet clutch systems. The spyders have a wet clutch system.
I have been using the above oil for 8 years.
