Pulsar Friends,
For those with Rotax 582 and using AeroShell Sport Plus 2 oil, I just had an interesting chain of events buying a case of this oil.
I called The Oil Store (most often the best price) to order a case and they said Shell discontinued production of AeroShell Sport Plus 2 and recommends using 2-cycle For Air Cooled engines (I hate to do that and back to buying pint bottles).
After a quick search, I on-line ordered a case from airplaneoil.com. I then got an email from them:
I am writing to let you know that the Aeroshell Sport Plus 2 I have in stock has passed the retest date printed on the case. When that date passed, Aeroshell decided that there was enough left in the distribution network to justify retesting the oil. I have attached that retest certification for your review. Aeroshell's retest states that the oil still meets their specifications and is good for another retest cycle.
I sell this oil every week and have not heard any issues or concerns from my customers. I just wanted to be upfront with you about what you would be receiving before I ship your oil. Please let me know if you would like to continue with the order or cancel.
I emailed Shell Oil customer service asking if this product was manufacturing discontinued and they replied that AeroShell Sport Plus 2 is still available, but may currently be in short supply and to check another distributor.
Retest cycles for this oil is 2 years. My guess is Shell Oil missed their marketing projection for anticipated sales and produced too much.
Yes, I went ahead and purchased a case of 2 year old oil.
