8.6 Approved Oil Grade and Specification
Due to high stresses in the reduction gears, oils with gear additives
such as AeroShell Oil Sport Plus 4 are highly recommended. Because
of the incorporated friction clutch, oils with friction modifier additives
are unsuitable because this could result in clutch slipping during
standard operation.
Avoid oils strictly specified for use in Diesel engines. These may not
be suitable due to insufficient high temperature properties and
additives that may affect the operation of the slipper clutch in the gear
box.
There are several oils on the market and some of them have been
released by ROTAX as being suitable. However, REMOS has tested
and therefore released only one specific oil:

10W-40
