Tom,

The oil you referenced is not on Rotax's recommended oil list. See  
Rotax Service Instruction SI-18-1997 which is attached. You can get  
all Rotax Service Documentation at http://www.rotax-owner.com/

I use Pennzoil Motorcycle Oil which is highly recommended by Rotax in  
this SI.

Thom,

Don't use this paper and oil one any longer. Manufacturer change their 
formulation over time without notice to the consumer. Do to those changing 
oil formulations Rotax has advised new oil types. Also I recommend to use 
only the website http://www.rotax-aircraft-engines.com as a source for 
primary information as this is the only website directly maintained from the 
factory and not from it's distribution partners.

The SI-18-1997 service instruction was canceled in 2004. It is superseded by 
SI-912-016 or SI914-019 and will be updated when needed. I am sorry to 
advise that Pennzoil is no longer on the list.

Best regards

Michael Grass

Don't believe it is an accepatable oil for the 912ULS because of the
reduction gear up front.  Need to use a motorcycle oil, not aviation oil
to lube the gears.
