Rotella t6

[PW2013STL]

On sale at Menard's for around $12. Tv ad.

I went to Menards to pick some up at this price, but that price was for T4. T6 was just under $23 a gallon.

Nowhere in the owners manual for the Ryker does it call for JASO MA2

Yup. You be correct. On page 96 of Manual. JASO MA2 NOT called out.

Something is wrong with that store's shelf pricing then... check on it. I paid 19.99 per gallon of T6 last night and their computers scanned that price from their system at the register. Also, they had a red tag covering the regular price on the shelf at that pricepoint. If you buy 1 gallon and use the Rotella rebate, it will bring the cost of a that single gallon down to $13.

Page 96 of owners manual says the recommended engine oil is 4T 5w40 synthetic blend oil. Now, on the oil container, it says in part that this oil has optimum wet clutch operation. I believe the JASO has to do with the friction modifiers for the optimum wet clutch operation. As far as the owners manual not calling for JASO MA2, in so many words, you are correct, but the oil that is recommended is for or can be used in wet clutches to my knowledge. Don’t get me wrong, I would prefer to use an oil without the friction modifiers in my Rykers engine. cueman

Maybe it's a Wisconsin price, but I will check out another Menards tomorrow.

I think some of the confusion may come from the owners manual that recommend JASO MA2 engine oil, which IMO, is not needed in an engine with a separate clutch and trans compartment. JMHO cueman

I stand corrected, the owners manual did not say to use JASO MA2 oil, but it did say the recommended engine oil is XPS 4T 5w40 synthetic blend oil which, to my knowledge after reading the label, has wet clutch friction modifiers. Use what you want. I will. cueman

Friction modifiers give you better MPG.

I just checked on line with their ad and did not see any sale on the T6, but it did come up at $19.99 a gallon when I pulled up the oil at the Eden Prairie store.
