S.Drifter Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Have never had to add oil between 50hr oil changes, motor has over 2000hrs on it and runs well. Saying this it has a easy life as the only time it go's over 4200rpm is on take off or if I need to climb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pelorus32 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Hi Bateo, suggest you PM Tristo. They have quite a good record of oil uplifts on 912ULS Rotax engines. It is not zero I know! Regards Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bateo Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Thanks Mike, was going to say what is wrong with my 912 when it needs oil after around 20-25 hours... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest micgrace Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Hi All Just a note about checking oil level on R912. As most may know these are a dry sump engine and the oil will drain away from the oil resorvior so when you check the oil you may find it "low" such is not the case and will result in an overfill. Some suggestions are spin the motor over a few times before checking, easiest and safer from cockpit, rather than manually turning over by hand, with mags off if possible, if not a very short run and stop. Then check the level straight away. Micgrace Otherwise overfilling with possible engine damage may result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
