Everyone has an opinion and I'm sure most have some validity.  Personally, I

believe any good quality 2 stroke oil will probably do a fine job, but here

is a very good independent test that was done some years ago and enough

to convince me so I used it to put about 400 hours on my 582 before I sold

it.  At 500 hours it was torn down and I was told that it was still like

new.  In my original post I mistakenly used the word "Outboard" from memory

so disregard that part.

Deke,



I think what is confusing on Pennzoil is they call it Outdoor brand now but 

there is definatly a difference between the Air-cooled and outboard oils. 

It shows in the ratings on their site as I posted earlier.



Air-cooled -  API- TC  - This is what Rotax calls for .

Outboard  -   TC W3  - This it NOT what Rotax recomends

go to section 10.2.3

It calls for API-TC -sorry cannot copy and paste it .
