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 want to use Rotella T6 10/40, but that is getting really hard to find. I may have to use 15/40, or another brand of synthetic if I want to stay with 10/40.

Whoops, my error. 5/40 T6 is what I'm searching for.

Cannot find T6 5/40 here in WI. Shortage of that product everywhere I guess. Good thing I stocked up last spring!

I have used Pennzoil in the past... Does this one say anything about "Wet Clutch Safe"?? It makes a difference... Mike :thumbup:

Walmart took my order for 2.5 gal T6 5w-40 for 60 bucks including tax and free delivery. NAPA tried to talk me into Mobile 1 because they could not get T-6, however it did not appear to meet the JACO M/M2 spec.

NOT as long as you use a brand that is WET clutch compatible ..... Shell Rotella full syn T-6 5 or 10/40 works great ...... and it is probably the least expensive .... google them and see if they have a RE-BATE in effect now ...;. Mike :thumbup:

I use Valvoline Full Synthetic 4-T stroke for my 2014 -RTS-SE 6 spyder. I haven't had any problems with this oil.
This oil is formulated for specific needs of high-performance motorcycles, including high temps, High RMPS, and Wet Clutches (all Spyders have wet clutches).

Rather than start a new oil thread, I figured I'd just comment here. It's time for my annual oil change on my 2015 SE6 F3. I have been using Shell Rotella T6, 5W 40, but as you know, you can't find it anywhere now. It is not available in either of the 2 Wal Marts in Tallahassee, FL. But guess what?! You can order it for $79.00. No thanks. It cost me about $34 last year. Get an oil change kit at the dealer you say? Too expensive. $135 last I looked. Lamonster? Even more for the oil. So what did I do? Got the filter from Lamonster for $15.95. Got Castrol 5W40 4T (yep, meets JASO MA2 specs) from Amazon for $52.94 for 6 qts.

BajaRon also sells the oil change kit at a reasonable price. My last change I got his change kit, not including oil. He also sells on Amazon, but deal with him direct and save tax and the Amazon up charge for the third party handling.

Do you have a "Tractor Supply" store near you? Goggle them and see if they have it in stock... decent price also... Mike :thumbup:

What Alternatives to BRP and Rotella T6?
I wanted to go Rotella (if I can find it) on my new to me 2020 RTL, BUT from what I read, Rotella T6 xxW40 weight oils don't carry the API SJ SL SM or SN rated as shown in the Owner's Manual. I know it's JASO MA2 rated, so OK for wet clutches, but I understand the "S" (for spark ignition) API ratings confirm suitability for gas engines and address certain additives which damage the catalytic converter (we have one, right?). As for the BRP oil, not only is it expensive, but it also breaks down well before 9,300 miles (more like 3,000-4,000) and it's a semi synthetic. Would appreciate feedback on this from more experienced owners. Thanks.

:welcome: - You are overthinking this... JASO MA2 is the GOLD standard for oil and FULL synthetic is the BEST... IMHO Deisel engines are harder on oil than gas... and an engine/tranny oil is even tougher... Mike :thumbup:
