>I was on the California Power Systems web site the other day and noted that
they stock oil under their own label specifically designed for the Rotax
912/914 engines.  I called to inquire if the oil met the new Rotax spec and
they stated yes.  I explained that I was using Castrol GPS that is no longer
recommend and commented that their oil is not on the list of recommend oils.
The representative went on to say that the oil is manufactured by Pennziol
to meet Rotax specifications.  The link is listed below which tells more
about the oil.  It is very reasonably priced at $3.25 US per quart.  Does
anyone have any experience with this product?????<

I have been using Castrol GPS from the start. I rang up Skydrive (the UK
Rotax experts) and they said that in some cases using Castrol GPS the oil
was tending to lurk in the engine rather than returning to the tank.
Provided that I had no problems they didn't see a problem continuing with
it.
