General note
Oil type Motorcycle oil of a registered brand with gear additives.
Oil consumption Max. 0.06 l/h (0.13 liq pt/h).
Oil specification - Use only oil with API classification "SG" or higher!
- Due to the high stresses in the reduction gears, oils with gear
additives such as high performance motor cycle oils are requi-
red.
- Because of the incorporated overload clutch, oils with friction
modifier additives are unsuitable as this could result in clutch
slippage during normal operation.
- Heavy duty 4-stroke motor cycle oils meet all the require-
ments. These oils are normally not mineral oils but semi- or full
synthetic oils.
- Conventional aircraft oils (a.d.= ashless dispersant) are not
suitable. Oils with ashless dispersant do not have suitable
cleaning agents for modern designs such as the ROTAX 912 i
Series.
- Oils primarity for Diesel engines have insufficient high tem-
perature properties and additives which favour clutch
slipping, and are generally unsuitable.
Obey the manufacturers instructions about
the lubricants.
If the engine is mainly run on AVGAS more
frequent oil changes will be required. See
Service Information SI-912 i-001, latest edi-
tion.
At the selection of suitable lubricants refer to
the additional information in the Service Infor-
mation SI-912 i-001, latest edition.
