P-Prop, that article was good and scientific. Very informative, thanks.

Bottomline: Stay away from TCW3 certified oils in a Rotax.

Everything else, even sunflower oil and Avgas is bakgat when used with moderation.

For me, I love my Husquavarna mineral chainsaw 2 stroke for my trike, my chainsaw (obvious), the weed eater, MX bike and my son's PeeWee.

Would now love to continue a debate on what petrol ... ULP or LRP, 95 or 93, Sasol, Caltex, BP, Shell or whatever :?:

Guys, please do not listen to Kloot Piloot. Also do not fly with him, or buy a second hand Rotax from him. :roll:

Air Cooled rotax engines use API spec Super Chainsaw

Water cooled Rotax engines use TCW 3 spec Super outboard plus.

Stop argueing PLEASE. vhpy

Why don't we just do what ROTAX advices. An air cooled spec for the 503 and 582 water cooled. i.e Super Chain-Saw

Read the attached document from ROTAX under section 3.1. Use only air-cooled oil!! ##
