Four stroke motorcycle oil is still kosher, is it not?

I believe ROTAX specifies several distinct brands and weights as recommended.

For oil, i always reference the link. If formulations change, rotax will say so. I don't want to be responsible for an engine. :)

He can't use full synthetic motorcycle racing oil unless he burns Mogas exclusively.  Getting oil is a problem over the Internet.  If you can't buy it from local suppliers who ship it themselves via trucking companies, it's gonna be in short supply.  Once he does nail some supply, he should get a LOT of it.  It doesn't go stale.  Also get a number of filters and compression rings at one time.

I think you mean crush gaskets or washers. Compression rings go on pistons inside the engine. I really hope he doesn't need a supply of them.

 

I do have a few cases of the Shell oil, but have no idea about shipping to Canada.

Samifer,

 

Have you tried " oil-store.com" ?

Pervis Brothers.

 

I've ordered both 2 and 4 stroke aviation oil from them and the oil has always been in stock and arrives by standard rate shipping from FedX or UPS. No handling charges. Takes 3 days.

 

One case AeroShell Sport +4 with 12 one Ltr. bottles is $96.87 USD.
