Engine lubrication system
Rotax 912 is a four-stroke engine, equipped with a dry sump and lubricated centrally with use of its
own oil pump. All the oil needed is located inside a separate canister. When the engine is running,
the oil cools itself passing through a radiator. Oil quantity can be checked visually with a oil dip stick.
Make sure the oil quantity is within limits at all times.
CAUTION! Oil temperature, pressure and quality is strictly defined and must not, under any
circumstances, vary from its safe values.
