This is now a custom formula for Rotax and not anything like the motorcycle blend that they started with. It took more than 4 years of testing in Rotax engines. I think it was 8 blends they tested long term in flight school engines back at the factory that all ran up to TBO. They then selected the best one of the batch." http://www.transair.co.uk/sp+AeroShell-Sport-PLUS-4-Oil-Aeroshell-Sport-Plus-4-Oil-12x-1-Ltr-ROTAX-912-914-Series+2675CASE "Thomas Uhr, General Manager BRP-Powertrain said, The collaboration of BRP-Rotax with Shell goes back to 2004.

If anyone is interested. ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 04:15:44 PM PST US From: "Hugh McKay" Subject: Re: RotaxEngines-List: New Aero Shell Sport Plus 4 I would like to know what is wrong with the currently approved oils that would warrant use of this oil? Doesn't make much sense to me, but I am sure it does to Rotax! Hugh G. McKay III, P.E. Fellow, L.M.
