 Posted: Wed Nov 04, 2015 11:40 am Post subject: ROTAX 914 engine oil |
 |
|
I have recently begun to prepare to run the title engine for the first time. I turned to the engine oil specs to find that the one recommended is AeroSHELL Sport plus 4 - not available in Canada.
I have therefore sent the following to Austria: “Would you be kind enough to send me a case of AeroSHELL Sport plus 4 engine oil so that, placed in my oil reservoir, I can fly to U.S.A. to buy a case of AeroSHELL Sport plus 4 oil?

I go with the Honda HP4 10-40w. You might find that in Canada.

I've used Shell Rotella T-6 full synthetic, and sometimes make my own semi-synthetic by mixing T-6 and Rotella dino oil 50/50, for the past several thousand hours. Never had a problem with it. Seems to suspend lead as well as the full dino recommended by Rotax. Wal-Mart sells for less than 20.00 a gal.
Don't want to shock the Rotax purist, but I have also used Fram filters since my first 912 back in 1993, plus another two 912ULS engines since then. My filter of choice is the Fram TG 3614 (that's the Tough Guard filter). Only time I have flown with Rotax oil filters was the one that came with each new engine.
Same for spark plug connectors. Last time I found some on line they were about 4 or 5 dollars each. Searched the part number on the connector.
