    Subject: 912 oil
    From: Jack Kuehn <jack.kuehn@gmail.com>
    I've been using Mobil 1 7500 Clean. It is readily available and on the Rotax list of approved oils, and has the SL rating. I assume therefore that it has the right additive package. Perhaps a rash assumption!!! Any comment? Anyone else using this in a 912 UL? I use it in my aging Toyota Rav4 as well, and it still gets good fuel economy at 170000 miles. Nice to have the same oil for both. -- Jack Kuehn

    Hi Jack, That Mobile 7500 Clean is a car oil and a last ditch recommendation if no other is available. You have zero protection for your flat tappet lifter and gearbox. There are no additives in this oil to help your engine. It is not a motorcycle oil. Get rid of it and use one of these. You have to use a semi synthetic for 100LL and you can use a full or semi synthetic for 91 Oct unleaded. These are all motorcycle oils.
