goode400 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Could anyone make use of 14 x 1 litre bottles of Castrol Aviation A545 LA? I used to fly a 2 stroke trike but now I have a bailey so I don't need the oil. I'm not going to pack them up and send them in the post but if you can collect, you're welcome to them.

enzo200500 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Just found this after a quicky search... Hi, Here is some information on A545 LA that may be of interest to BMAA members. I have been running my Rotax 582 on A545 since I bought it second hand and I have been very happy with it. It was run on A545 since new. I wanted to find out if there was any issue in changing to TTS oil as that is much easier to source. I have just found out from a very helpful person called John Winfield in the Technical Dept. of Castrol UK that Castrol A545 LA has now been discontinued. The last batch of 1,700 litres was made a few months ago for Trevor Pond who now owns the rights to the Hewland 2-stroke engine. He assured me that TTS is identical to A545 and is now has a red dye in it for people that need to premix. However the downside of this is that it can stain some translucent plastic tanks pink!
