Applications
AeroShell Oil Sport Plus 4 is intended for use in four-stroke (four-cycle) aircraft piston engines that are of an original automotive design. These engines include carburetted, fuel-injected and turbocharged types such as the ROTAX庐 912,914, 915 series.
AeroShell Oil Sport Plus 4 may be used in integrated gearbox and wet clutch systems.
AeroShell Oil Sport Plus 4 can be used in engines which operate on both unleaded gasoline and Avgas 100LL. The correct choice of additives and good solvent properties allow the oil to handle lead by-products that can form a semi solid sludge in the oil which can restrict oil passages and compromise lubrication. AeroShell Oil Sport Plus 4 is superior in this respect to those oil types intended for automotive/motorcycle application.
Do not use AeroShell Oil Sport Plus 4 in engines that are designed to use ashless dispersant aviation piston engine oils. This includes air-cooled engines from Continental Aerospace Technologies and Lycoming Engines.
Please refer to Operators Handbook/Manual for the correct oil drain interval when operating on different fuels.
