My. Ktm site is saying that they have changed the formula and it mite not still be m/c wet clutch rated I hope not because it has been the Best Buy and can be used in most everything

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I just received my rebate check for my purchase from Walmart, so you should be able to.
I gave up on Valvoline going on sale again and bought 4 gal. of Rotella.

Amazon carries it for $22 every day and routinely puts it on sale for 19. Rebate still valid as well.

Rest easy. Here is the current product data sheet straight from Shell. Still JASO MA2 rated.

OK, where did you read that?
According to the owners manuals and the hundreds of oil threads here, JASO classified oils are fine for the 998s. Rotella T6 is JASO.

The statement comes from a requirement from BRP that the 998 engines use an oil that DOES NOT meet API SM or above. Rotella may or may not do any harm to an older 998 but it does meet API spec above SM.
Out of an abundance of caution, we still stock Valvoline 4TStroke synthetic motorcycle oil for the 998s as it strictly meets ALL the BRP spec requirements. Technically Rotella T6 does not.

Labels still say JASO MA2

yeah, with the jaso ma2 rating I don't understand why it is not suitable for the 998's with a sm5.
If anyone is interested in more than 4 gallons (rebate is for max of 4 jugs), the 2.5 gal jugs are also available at the same price per quart and rebate as the 1 gallon jugs. I've got a diesel truck so go through lots of this, so I got 4 of the 2.5 gallon jugs and ends up being the same price per quart as the 1 gallons. Walmart and Amazon both have them for $50 before rebate.

Link for rebate
You can submit the rebate online: https://rotella.shell.com/en_us/cou...-economy.html#iframe=L2RpeS9uYXRpb25hbDE4Lw==
I found this link for the rebate form to print: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/00/01/31/74/86/25/13174862530._CB500159454_.pdf
The rebate expires 12/31/2018
Earlier I saw this oil on sale at Advance Auto Parts for $19.99 but I went back to the site after initially posting the above links and the site is down - they offer a 20% discount for your next purchase - use coupon code PS20 in the shopping cart. If all this pans out I will get 3 gallons of oil for $48 for my 2 Spyders before the $21 rebate (Limit 4 rebates per person, household or address (email and physical).

What weight of Rotella T6 are you guys using? All I see is 5w-30 at walmart.

Advance does not honor those coupons on oil.
Amazon had a sale this week for 3 gallon cases of T6 for $43 delivered. Best price I have ever seen.

That option isn’t available any more
and you are right Advanced doesn’t honor their discount code either.BRP great kit.but $136 can the dealer scam more for oil. I have been using Rotell T 6 in at least 10 of My high performance mc with great results, not to mention the price average $24 a gallon. I just bought a mint 2018 1 owner Spyder rt Limited,who did all the work and accessories on machine. I now have 9,000 miles and will change with T6
