Rotella T6 rebates

TrapperAH1G · 10-06-2018, 04:06 PM

FYI:

Just found that Walmart is participating in Shell's rebate program for T6: 1 gallon = $7.00, 2.5 gallon = $17.50, 5 gallon = $35.00. In my area, a gallon at WM is less than $20.00, so effective price is $13.00. Limit is 4 rebates per person/household/address. Ends 12/31/18.

Been some questions as to whether T6 is okay for motorcycles. The containers I just bought state JASO, and the following is from the WM store page for T6:

I asked Shell about T6 in my '06 Nomad and gave them mfg's specs for oil and was told it was fine for the bike.

Used it for 88,000 miles in my 2007 Nomad.
Used it for 65,000 miles in my 2008 Nomad.
Currently using it in 2011 Victory Kingpin.
No oil related problems in any of them.

I just switched back to T6 and like how it shifts. I may have to make a Walmart Run and stock up.
