—
Because of the incorporated friction clutch, oils with friction
modifier additives are unsuitable as this could result in a
slipping clutch during normal operation.
—
Heavy duty 4-stroke motor cycle oils meet all the
requirements. These oils are normally not mineral oils but
semi- or full synthetic oils.
—
Oils primarily for Diesel engines are
insufficient
due to
high temperature properties and additives which favor
clutch slipping, generally therefore are unsuitable.
CAUTION
:
If the engine is mainly run on AVGAS,
more frequent
oil
changes will be required. See Rotax Service Information SI-18-1997.
For additional information concerning oil system consult
Operator’s
Manual for all versions of Rotax912
supplied with the engine.
The maximum and minimum oil level are indicated by two marks on the dip
stick in the oil tank.

Structural failures which result from overloading of the
aircraft may be dramatic and catastrophic.
The additional stress placed on the structural parts by overloading can
accelerate the occurrence of metal fatigue failures. Also flight
characteristics might change significantly when aircraft is overloaded.
