Brembo F4O , forget the rest !

The recommended oil by Mobil for Detroit Diesels is DELVAC 1240;comparison charts show it to be the exact equivalent to Rotella DD40 (SAE40,low ash, 247° flash point etc..)It is cheap and available (in France ,anyway)in 20 litre drums . Has anybody used this oil or will I have to be the guinea pig ?...

On their web site Shell recommend the use of RIMULA R3+ 40 for use on all rotary Nortons ; has anybody used this oil and with what result ????

All these most informative answers have convinced me that there might be a solution to my temperature gauge problem with a bit of lateral thinking and a lot of optimism ! Rotax produce air cooled 2 stroke engines for microlight airplanes where the need to know the temperature is of some importance. ...

Thanks to all for answers:have just ordered some Comp2 premix via the indicated web site to solve immediate problem.Had a look at the engine as indicated by Mr 2471 and found a small hole with a M5 thread (more or less 6mm deep) about 20mm above the spark plug . Is this the place where the thermocou...

New to the supposedly wonderful world of rotary motion and new member I have some questions which ,I'm sure ,have been answered a million times.My newly bought Interpol 2 will very soon need some oil in the tank but living in the south of France none of the recommended oils are available :what moder...
