Since the twice dreaded 2-stroke oil debate is starting again I have
changed the subject to suit.
I will only add that I use Pennzoil for air cooled and provide the
following link with some useful information on the subject:

Guy , you should have included this from Dave Loveman's site

Once again it warns > AGAINST < outboard oils TCw3 oil for our 582s

Two stroke Aircraft engine oils - there is a difference!
Ultralight Aircraft pilots flying on two stroke engines should be
aware that their are different oil recommendations for the two different
styles of Rotax two stroke engines used in aircraft application.
There is one OIL FOR AIR-COOLED ENGINES.
Air cooled engines run hotter than water cooled outboard-type engines
and require a lubricant formulated for their unique lubrication
requirements.
Outboard oils have a lower flashing point and tend to burn up early in
air-cooled engines, causing carbonization and eventual ring sticking.
Because of this, BIA, TC-W and TC-WII oils can promote the formation
of deposits.
Rotax recommends the use of a 2-cycle oil for air cooled engines as
the optimum oil in most of their owner's manuals (all but the 618).
This includes the 277/377/447/ 503 air cooled engines PLUS the 532 and
582 liquid cooled engines.
These liquid cooled engines run the same high internal temperatures as
the air-cooled smaller engines and require the same high-temperature type of
oil.
ATTENTION
These oils are NOT compatible with TC-W or TC-WII lubricants.

Nah it's too late for that one this year... Hold on to your thoughts on two
stroke oil until half past February.
