Deke, I just dida search and found some information for you.
Pennzoil ==> THIS IS the only product ithink they have that is good for
Rotax 582s.
http://www.pennzoil.com/products/outdoor/2cycle_aircooled.html
I buy mine bulk from Rotax == XPS mineral oil and here is what plugs look
like after 152 hours in my 582 > http://www.cfisher.com/152hournkg.html
I am Very happy with this oil and regular gas. If you use AVGAS 100LL you
would not get this life from plugs plus you will risk contaminating your
bearings with lead. Occasional use would be ok but not continual .

2-stroke oil specifications
Rotax recommends using a "super" two-stroke oil which corresponds to
ASTM/CEC standards and/or API-TC classification. It is also essential to
choose an oil which is designed for an air cooled engine even if you own a
liquid cooled engine.
2-stroke oil type
For most Canadian users a mineral or semi synthetic oil is recommended.
Synthetic oil should only be used by those who operate their engine nearly
every day. Even when shut down, air is constantly circulating through a
2-stroke engine; it is never sealed like a 4-stroke engine. Even though it
has excellent lubricating properties, a synthetic oil does not effectively
protect a stopped 2-stroke engine against corrosion: it tends to attract
moisture and will run off the parts rather than leave a protective coating.
To be avoided:
a.. Oils whose label do not bear the above mentioned required
specifications
b.. Oils primarily designed for outboard 2-stroke engines
c.. Mixing ratios other than 50:1

Dave:
The only Pennzoil available around here is the four stroke automotive stuff.
I the Penz available in your neck of the woods?
The local Bombardier dealership now has bulk XPS mineral which is why I've
decided to change.

Noel, check out the online oil store, $28 something USD for a case of 24 16 ouncers of penzoil air cooled two cycle oil. I don't think you can beat the price. See, it was a good idea to bring back the oil topic.
