Since then I have run the Aero Sport 4 oil along with the genuine Rotax filter. The engine and airframe each have 2250 hours. I change both filter and oil every 100 hours. There have been zero maintenance issues except for a replaced sprag clutch at 1000 hours as I had the early starter that didn't like to wind the engine at speed for starting. I also fitted a Bully Hawk soft start at the same time. I run 2% Power Up in the oil. I know Rotax say no additives but I believe this is mostly from a safety perspective in that they don't know what you might put in the engine. Power Up suggest that you should expect to get 3 - 4 times engine manufactures TBO. I don't plan to take the engine out until at least 4000 hours. It doesn't use more than 250cc of oil in the 100 change period. My 912 was a 1500 hour TBO engine. I have run 91 mogas since new with only 4 or five occasions where I have had to add a little 100LL to the mix.
