I have a Can Am RT with elect clutch. V-Twin 998cc. Handbook specifically cautions against useing SM as it will "harm the clutch". If the oil is also rated Jaso/MA, how can SM cause clutch problems?
FWIW, they call for 3K mile oil and filters change. The elect clutch model uses a small filter in the transmission, and a larger one for the motor. Oil capacity is 4 1/2 with filters. They used to say filter change every other oil change, but modified that to every oil change. They also call for synthetic or semi/syn, so this gets pricy using Amsoil as I have been doing at $9.10 per quart. I had planned to switch to Rotella T6 but find that its rated SM.
