Guys,

Just wondering what people are using for Oil and Filters on their 912ul

engines and why you like it whether that be the Rotax Oil and filters or

aftermarket alternatives.

Lloyd, there are extensive posts in the rotax forum on the subject of oil and filters , but the last post by Roger Lee about filters at http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?t=14122&highlight seems to sum up the situation best (at least for me) Since the rotax filters cost so much more than the automotive filters that are available, each owner will have to make a decision if they are really worth it, especially since many have the opinion that the rotax is really not as good as the purolator or mobil-1. I have used the rotax and the mobil-1, while the previous owner/builder used a napa-gold. I haven't had any problems with any of them, but I have only about 70hrs experience with the engine since purchasing the plane in June 2008.  I use valvoline  10w-40 4 cycle motorcycle  oil since I burn 100LL. If I was using no-lead gas, then I would probably go with one of the synthetic oils per rotax guidelines. If I had a warranty on my engine still in effect, then I would stick with the rotax filters, but my engine is not under warranty so I plan on using the purolator or mobil 1 filters next time because of availability  and price.
