Motor Glider recommended 2 stroke oil?
glidernut replied to glidernut's topic in Gliders and Soaring Aircraft Usergroup
The operating manual for the Grob calls for an engine speed of 6,200 - 6,400 rpm would this still be a problem? I will look for a supply of Castrol 2t. I am in Richmond Virginia and I cannot obtain Castrol 2 stroke oil locally so I will have to order on line anyway. -

Thanks for the advice. I did read a test report from Pennzoil that indicated the "Pennzoil, 2 cycle, Air cooled oil with a category TC" is recommended for aircraft use. Eric -

Thanks for the input Geoff. I did find a reference from Pennzoil that explained why air cooled engines need a different oil than water cooled engines. However as you said oils have improved over the last 15 years. I look forward to additional input. Thanks Eric -
New Member glidernut with question on 2 stroke oil
glidernut posted a topic in Just Landed - Welcome
I have just purchased a motor glider with a rotax 505 engine. I am looking for advce on the best 2 stroke oil to use. The 15 year old book recommends Castrol tts. Is this still the best oil to use?
