Whats the least expensive JASO MA spec full synthetic?

[alarmguy]

For any Jaso motor oil to be certified besides the clutch slippage test it also has to carry one of the well known classifications which API is accepted in this country.

"The motor oils that meet the JASO T 903:2006 standard can be classified into four grades: JASO MA, JASO MA1, JASO MA2 and JASO MB. The classification is based on the results of the JASO T 904:2006 clutch system friction test.

In order for a motor oil to meet any of the above mentioned JASO standards it must be at least of one of the following quality levels:

• API SG, SH, SJ, SL, SM
• ILSAC GF-1, GF-2, GF-3
• ACEA A1/B1, A3/B3, A3/B4, A5/B5, C2, C3"

I see this is an old post but have you ever tried ordering it from Walmart online?
The Valvoline synthetic 10/40 is $8.89 and the conventional $6.37

My next oil change should be around the end of April, so I might try ordering some oil then. $6.37 is alot cheaper than the advanced auto parts store where I usually go, Thanks. This bike doesn't appear to use any oil when I check it, and I have a 1/2 qt left over from my last change. I attribute that to being water cooled. When I had my Road King, I never noticed excessive heat coming off the engine, it's even less noticeable with water cooling.,,

This a good price for full synthetic JASO MA2/SL motorcycle oil which meets current BMW specs and is about $10.00 cheaper a quart than BMW spec Advantec oil.

I couldn’t believe my local Oreilly’s sells that Castrol for $10.99 a quart also. BMW puts their name on the bottle and it jumps $10 a bottle. I’m coming up on my 600 mile service on my new GSA.

@bike posted that is about $10 cheaper, not $10. If you buy it from Amazon and use Subscibe & Save, it’s $7.50 a quart.

Yes, I know that. The BMW branded oil is close to $20 a liter. I’m not buying five 6 quart packs to save 15%.
