Default Two-stroke oil

Granted the Rotax 912 in my Pipistrel is a four stroker but Rotax
recomments a good quality motorcycle oil. They specifically state that
standard aircraft oil should not be used. Have you checked your engine
manual or contacted the manufacturer?

Over on the ASH-26E newsgroup there is a thread that the recommended oil for the ASH-26E,
ASH-31, and the solo 2350 is no longer available in the U.S.

Anyone have suggestions, comments. What are the two stroke owners doing


This is what I have used for the past 15 years in my Ventus cT,
4oz per gal.
PENNZOILŪ 2-CYCLE AIR-COOLED ENGINE OIL

Fuel is standard 100LL avgas.

I also add 2 oz per gal of SeaFoam Motor Treatment (injector cleaner).
Check Amazon or any auto parts store. Not sure it does any good, but
I've also used this for so many years I don't see any reason to quit.

Bob for oil?
