| Subject: | Oil Injection... OK to change type??? |
Hi,
First off I would like to say hi to everyone on the board. I purchased a kolb MK3
2 months ago. Just finishing my hours toward my ultralight permit. I have a
582 with oil injection and am wondering if it's ok to go from a synthetic to
a mineral oil even after the engine has run exclusively on synthetic. It was run
using Bombardier XP-S full synthetic 2 cycle oil. Is it better to stay with
what the previous owner has been running. I'm not trying to be cheap but the
local dealer wants $70 CAN for a gallon. I've had dirtbikes all my life and have
never run synthetic in any thing I own and have never had any issues. I change
my oil religiously.
Thanks,
Tony

Tony, I'd check with Lockwood Aviation about oil compatability. Certain
types, most notably Pennzoil Air Cooled and Pennzoil Marine will congeal
when combined.

the 503 rotax in my firestar had been run on a synthettic oil prior to my
purchase....I took the advice of Lockwood aviation on the use of Pennzoil 2
cly air cooled . I have used it for about 200 hours of flying time and it
has worked fine. Lockwood aviation have run a lot of rotax engine test on
different 2 cycle oil. You might give them a call and ask about their
test results.....it is interesting.....

You'll be fine changing oils, the engine won't notice the switch. A dino oil will
be a little better in terms of corrosion protection anyway as it sticks to
surfaces better than synthetic. I always used the pennzoil air cooled which I
think has recently been rebranded to something else.
Make sure the new grade you switch to meets the API TC specification (tho a TCW-III
oil will work acceptably in the 582 also if that's the only grade available).
As for the oil injection I suppose you should drain it out before changing the
oils (I always ran premix so never did maintenance on the oil injection).

well i am for sure a old pilot....but have not landed with a flat
tire....what you did worked so it was ok .....but did you check the tires prior
to
take-off? if not you should....On my firestar the tires were sort of old
when I purchased it and I noticed a slow leak in one....I replaced both
tires with new tires and tubes...I think it pays to keep good tires on a
plane...I check tires on pre flight by stepping on them....glad things worked
ok
for you...
