Rotella T6 rebates
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: Rotella Synthetic 5W-40 Motor Oil, 1 Gal: Designed for virtually all four-stroke engines Fully synthetic motor oil for diesel engines Protects against cold climate conditions, high temperature operation and engine wear Can be used on motorcycles, tractor trailers, heavy-duty pickups, school buses and more More spec info: OEM SPECIFICATIONS AND APPROVALS 5W-40 API: CK-4, CJ-4, CI-4 PLUS, CI-4, CH-4 ACEA E9, JASO DH-2, Cummins CES 20086; Volvo VDS-4.5; Detroit Fluid Specification DDC (DFS) 93K222, Caterpillar ECF-2/ECF-3, MAN M3575, JASO MA/ MA2, Allison TES 439, MB-Approval 228.31 T6 is MA\ MA2 motorcycle approved ( lacking friction modifiers) Login or Register to Remove Ads

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.
