I've been told semi synthetic is ok with 100LL? Is this correct?

Dee,
The value in a full synthetic is the higher temps they can tolerate, the hit
is their inability to keep the lead residues in suspension. If you fly
strictly with car gas, the syntheticsynthetic should be fine. If you
occasionally use 100LL then you might want to avoid synthetics. This from
the Rotax oil recommendation bulletin. The Rotax 912 series engines use the
same oil in the engine as well as the gear box so they recommend a
motorcycle engine oil with the gear additive. If your engine is similar,
you might want to check the Rotax owners association website for info.

Yes, with shorter oil changes. Also use the additive, like the spam
can guys do.
