It is currently on sale thru Walmart at 6.67/qt. I have enough on hand for three oil changes.

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'm using the Valvoline 4T Stroke ( Full Synthetic) SAE 10W- 40, and I have a 2014 RTS-SE6 ( 1330 Ace Engine). I have been using this oil for 2 years, no problems.
It is formulated for the specific needs of motorcycles. Including high temperature , high RPM'S and wet clutch systems. Excellent wear and corrosion protection to help keep the engine performing its best.
Exceeds: API Services, SJ/SG/SF, JASO MA2.
Outstanding wet clutch protection for the maximum power transfer & smooth shifting.
Added protection against harmful deposits that can decrease engine performance.
Synthetic formula maximizes power and acceleration.
****Superior Wet Clutch Protection****

It was on sale for $25.28 for a six pack in November 2015. I ordered 3 of them thinking they would go on sale again soon but it ain't happenin'.

:agree: ... I bought 4 six-packs at that price :yes: and one of 20w/50, which I add one quart to the four 10w/40 for viscosity improvement..... I have seen it for 32.00 a six-pack but that was 6 months ago ....... Mike :thumbup:

Yes I keep hoping that too but the best I have seen is this $6.67 price and you have to order by the qt. I ordered a dozen and they came in 12 individual packages but all to the same address at the same time. Wierd huh:dontknow::dontknow:
That's probably as cheap as it's going to get. If it goes on sale for $32.- again I'll have to stock up I guess.

Plenty has been said about Valvoline, but are you mistaking the price of Valvoline conventional motorcycle oil with the full synthetic oil? The 4T is the full synthetic and is closer to $7/qt on sale. That is the one you want.
No it was full synthetic 4T it was on sale for 5.67 a quart. In our area it runs 5.67 to 7.00 dollars.

Walmart's computer programs are way behind the times ...... If you go looking for stuff, they will very often miss certain packaging options, ie. a six-pack of the same oil you are looking for ........ you have to ask for a SIX-PACK :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: .......Plus, they only tell you about what is IN STOCK RIGHT NOW .... if the warehouse doesn't have any at the moment ...Walmart treats it like it never existed! :yikes: jmho ...

The 6 pack is also shown if you ask for it (thanks Mike),but it is the same price,$6.67/qt. Free shipping and free pickup
I don't want to start an Oil thread. I do have one question I am thinking of using Valvoline Motorcycle oil 10W-40 in my Spyder. I have found to different ones. One in a silver container part # 507679. The other is in a black container VV740. The specs read just about the same. They are both marked motorcycle oil. Is there anyone than can tell me if one is better than the other. The prices are within a dollar or two. It depends on where you purchase it. The cheapest price is at Walmart.

Thanks, I think you are right. I just went on Walmart's website and the silver container did say full synthetic and the black said conventional. I did not catch that in the specs. Thanks again, I do want synthetic oil.

Thanks for the information. It sounds like the Valvoline oil is okay to use in the Spyder and the going price is around 6.67. I will purchase it from Walmart and buy my filters from Bajaron.

Valvoline T4 full synthetic is one of the best motorcycle oils you can get esp for the price. Excellent for a wet clutch application.
