10.2.3) Lubricants
Oil: Motorcycle oil of a registered brand with gear additives. If
using aircraft engine oil; than only blended one.
■ CAUTION: At the selection of suitable lubricants refer to the
additional information in the Service Information
SI-912-016, latest edition.
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 required.
— Because of the incorporated friction clutch, oils with friction
modifier additives are unsuitable as this could result in a slipping
clutch during normal operation.
— Heavy dury 4-stroke motor cycle oils meet all the requirements.
These oils are normally no mineral oils but semi- or full synthetic
oils.
— Oils primarity for Diesel engines are due to insufficient high
temperature properties and additives which favour clutch
slipping, generally unsuitable.
■ CAUTION: If the engine is mainly run on AVGAS more
frequent oil changes will be required. See
Service Information SI-912-016, latest edition.
