I saw a motor destroyed in 650 hrs as he saved about 500 in servicing costs but that intern cost him a new motor so he threw away 20k to save 500
Hmmm. I have always used Aeroshell Sport Plus 4 which I understand is the recommended oil for the 912ULS, so if failed valve seals are my problem, its probably not the oil at fault.
