My new Rotax 914 purchased about a year ago came with 4 liters of Aeroshell Sport Plus 4 -- the same oil recommended for normal operation.

Thanks for the reply Ken. My concern is that this oil is labeled “break-in” oil. Typically break-in oils are designed and intended to be used for a very specific time (hours). I also noticed 2 new bolts protruding form the prop end of the engine, 1 above the magnetic plug and one below it. I was wondering if Rotax made a design change to the reduction drive and the break-in oil was now mandatory.

I just installed a new 912 and it came with 4 liters of Aeroshell Sport Plus 4, the same oil recommended for normal operation.

I've never heard of an aviation Rotax 10-50W oil. We all just use at the begining what you'll use all the time,,i.e. Aero Shell Sport Plus 4. I did an internet search and couldn't find it either. You sure that isn't a See-Doo oil or something along that line?

I'd like to see a picture of this oil.
