I have a Rotax 912 and it is overcharging. I can't find anything in the manuals
of how to check if it is a bad regulator. If it is charging does that mean it
is a bad regulator?
Thanks,
Jack

What's the latest on using automotive oil filters on a 912UL? Is
there a K&N that is of high enough quality and proper fit?

Jack,
We'll need some additional info.
What voltage do you read, where and when ?
What is the corresponding engine RPM ?
How does the number of devices connected to the ship's circuit affect
the readings ?
What is the state of your battery ?
How does actual charge influence the voltage readings ?
Do you have the requested capacitor installed ?
Have you checked every connection and wire, especially regulator ground ?
Etc.
Also, a schematic of your wiring will help interpreting the symptoms. It
often boils down to bad wiring.
Best regards,

Jack,
It's a serious No-No. You do NOT EVER want to use an automotive oil
filter in the Rotax engine. The issue isn't filtration but pressure
relief valve setting. Automotive filters have a much lower pressure
relief valve which will allow dirty oil back into the engine before
filter change time. Resulting damage will make a real Rotax oil
filter seem dirt cheap.
Good building and great flying,

Jack,
Rotax advises to use only original Rotax filters.
There is no point using an automotive oil filter instead of the original
ones.
If saving a few dollars every 50 hours is so important, why not just
save on fuel and fly at 65% power instead of 75 % ?
Cruise speed won't be much affected.
