Default Rotella T6 JASO MA now approved

Read on another forum that the Rotella T6 5W40 synthetic now has JASO MA (wet clutch) approval. So I checked the latest jug I bought and it's right there on the label.

I doubt the bike manufacturers, or Amsoil, are happy about this. I think I just heard their gravy train leaving the station

Yeah walmart is the cheapest I've found by the gallon. Can't beat that price for synthetic bike oil. The stuff is cheaper than most dino bike oils.

A lot of parts houses have it. Farm stores like Tractor Supply and Farm and Fleet carry it too. That and some truck stops.

I know. I've been running the stuff in bikes for years with zero problems. I posted this for the folks who were scared to use it because it didn't have JASO MA on the jug. Well that and to silence the naysayers
