I bought the oil thermostat in Germany by the Rotax dealer Franz. The syste

is quiet simple and the instructions for installation are clear. You neet t

Subject: Europa-List: Oil cooler thermostat
Lockwood sells an oil cooler thermostat, presumably suitable for Rotax 912S
.
- Anyone with good experience using this to keep oil temp acceptably high
(problem at my latitudes)?
- Does it come with good installation instructions?
- What other fittings are required to connect it to standard Europa oil
system?
- Any good alternatives?
Thanks!
Best regards,

Svein,
We have both the Mocal and the Permacool unit from Lockwood and will most
likely install the Mocal. The Permacool seems to be just a cheap imitation
of
the Mocal. Here are the characteristics we observed:
Mocal: Milled aluminum body; available in several AN-fittings; comes with
mounting bracket
Permacool: Cast aluminum body; 1/2 NPT fittings; no bracket
Both units are identical in size and shape.
Regards,
Tam
