I was concerned when reading my usual bottle of oils for an oil change and noticed I had NOW bought the wrong oil!! Same label different rating, so I made a list and here is what I found out with a link to each brands web-site, think some maybe changing oil if they didn't read that bottle, lots have gone energy saving and some that we have used for years have dropped the JASO,MA rating for Wet Clutch use:

SO DON’T LOOK FORTHE BLUE JUG AT WALMART…………. NOT THE SAME STUFF!!
I now use thefirst two as they are available by the quart at Auto Zone Auto Parts Stores…
Can’t find ShellAdvance any where so I guess they are deserting the motorcycle community!!
Read those standardsbefore just getting a colored jug, glad I started making a list!!
