Aeroshell 15W50 Lycoming IO-360-A1B6. I wouldn't refuse to use any oil if someone were to buy it for me. I prefer the Aeroshell 15W50 as it has the anti-corrosion stuff for when my plane sits idle for a couple of weeks. It's not an anticorrosion additive. It's antiscuffing. -jav |

Of course, the anti-scuffing properties after having not flown for a week or two also don't hurt! Paul |

AeroShell 15W50 in a Lyc 0320-E2D in a 172M. Religously preheat below
35 deg F, change at least every 30 hrs including filter, carefully keep cooling baffles in place and keep clean cyl fins, burn mostly autofuel. Now at only 1700 hrs TTSNew, never open except for oil pump AD, and 30 hrs /quart (i. e. I never add any between changes). Oil analysis keep coming back w no problems. The dilemma - when should I tear it down on general principle? |
