Madhatter Posted December 28, 2021 Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 Just for info, most places are out of stock on Sport Plus 4. Found some at Lockwood. Some will get it in Feb, others ?. Maybe sign of things to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrassStripFlyBoy Posted December 28, 2021 Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 This past fall when I ordered materials from LEAF, I added 3 filters, extra oil, and the couple sizes of crush washers to have stock on hand. I don't think these will be a big problem, but when you need them it sucks to find things out of stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warmi Posted December 28, 2021 Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 i just ordered 3 bottles + a filter from LEAF a week ago - they still had it in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett Gee Posted December 28, 2021 Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 LEAF is out. Just tried to order and got a call stating it was backordered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BravoFoxtrot Posted December 29, 2021 Report Share Posted December 29, 2021 As near as I can tell, this site has oil in stock. AeroShell Sport Plus 4 (aviationoiloutlet.com) A case of 12 is $139.95 and qualifies for free shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhatter Posted December 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2021 Seems awful cheap for free freight but a bargain if true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shipping costs of this usually adds considerably to the price. I added it to the cart, inserted my address, and selected the free shipping. Still showed total cost of $139.95. The next step would have been to place the order which I did not do. If someone does place an order, let us know how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhatter Posted December 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2021 I called this company, they have no stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BravoFoxtrot Posted December 29, 2021 Report Share Posted December 29, 2021 Ok, too good to be true I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anticept Posted December 29, 2021 Report Share Posted December 29, 2021 In a pinch, we can reference the older service bulletin. Though I don't think there are any incompatible parts with oil on this list, there's still that tiny possibility. I remember being told the Mobil 1 Racing 4T was one of the best on the list, but pay attention to the notes. The recommendations change with operating conditions. Technically, this is R6, R7 was the last SI before rotax went to pushing aeroshell as the only oil that can grace their engines, but I don't have that revision.

GlennM Posted December 30, 2021 Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 I hope this is just a supply chain issue and that they are still planning to make it in the future. I use it in my Corvette, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BravoFoxtrot Posted December 30, 2021 Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 Most places that are out say they will have more inventory in a month or two. WagAero has this in stock by the case, but not by the individual quart. Amazon says they have two cases left, but it is around $195/case shipped.

Tip Posted December 30, 2021 Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 Out of stock here also. https://oil-store.com/product/aeroshell-sport-plus-4-case-12-1-liter/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennM Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 I run 100LL in it because it does not have hardened valve seats. Since you can't run 100% synthetic oil with leaded fuel, I needed something that would keep the lead suspended. So I use the Sport Plus 4 to keep the lead suspended because it was formulated to do that. It is 10W40, too, which is the right viscosity. Since Rotax has flat tappets, and Aeroshell say they have anti-wear and -scuffing additives, I figure they will protect my flat tappets as well.
