I just checked the current Shell Canada Rotella T6 5w40 Technical Data Sheet API CK-4, JASO MA, MA2 and it does not have FA-4, which means the new T6 here is good to use.

If you were to change your oil 3 times a year how much would you save by using Rotella versus Kawasakis dino oil ?

I have no idea how much Kawasaki dino oil is a gallon.
I pay $23 for a gallon of Rotella.

So most synthetic motorcycle oil is @ $9-12 qt so around $36-48 for a gallon. a Saving of $13-25 per change.

The Rotella line of products is now offered in 5 categories,
T4 15w40
T5 Ultra 10w30 FA-4
T5 10w30
T6 Multi-Vehicle 5w30
T6 5w40

Any jug at the store that says T6 5w40 either new supply with CK-4 on the back or old supply with CJ-4 is ok to use, the jugs to stay clear of are the new ones that say T5 Ultra 10w30 FA-4
