I've a Reiff oil sump heater on my RV-6A O-360. I'd assume that
an engine is an engine so as long as the Reiff system fits it would
perform as well on your Rotax 912 as it does on my engine. I use a
timer rated for this application that turns on about five hours before
I fly. I'm in an insulated and heated (to 40 deg F) hangar and the
oil temp is around 90 deg F when I start up.
