[QUOTE="Ciscoz, post: 1455842, member: 91566"] Canadian side... Rotella T6 5W-40 used to sell for $122 (for 18.9 Liter/5 gal pail) at Cdn Tire 2 yrs ago pre-covid. Today it sells for $189 or $10/Liter. I found another option at Cdn Tire last week, their Motomaster Full Synthetic 5W-40 motor oil, went on sale for $149 for 18.9 L pail, ($7.88/Liter). The pail says it is made for Cdn Tire by Shell, so is most likely a re-branded Rotella, and is JASO MA/MA2 certified, so suitable/certified for wet clutch motorcycle use. I'm going to give it a try this fall (or mid-summer depending on my mileage this summer), and whether I find any T6 sales in the meantime. I've run Rotella T6 in just about everything I own with a motor for years, including GMC Duramax, Kubota tractor, Yamaha FJR, Ducati Hypermotard, Mercruiser 350 I/O boat, and Yamaha Outboard, and all are still running flawlessly to this day. For filters, I just placed an order for 14 filters (air and oil) for all my vehicles and toys to RockAuto in the U.S. They charge pretty much a flat rate of $20 shipping to Canada regardless of the number of filters, so I put an order in every 2-3 years for a bunch and make it worth the effort. They carry numerous brands, but I use Wix in most of my stuff, including my FJR. The cost for the Wix 51358 (FJR) is $9.65 (Cdn) at Rock, vs $24.39 at NAPA (Canada). Another example is my GMC Duramax filter is $11.45 at Rock vs $34.49 at NAPA. So even if you order only 2 filters you're saving money, but if you order a box full, the savings are huge.
