Which oil do you use or refuse to use?

What oil do I use? Phillips X/C 20W50

What oil do I refuse to use? Umm, how 'bout those 12 quarts off of
Jay's hangar floor.

Lycoming O-360-A4A
Aeroshell 15W50

Continental 0300D
Summer - Aeroshell 100 plus 12 oz Avblend
Winter Aeroshell 80 plus 12 oz Avblend.

Oil I would never use? That's easy - anything made by Exxon .
Why? They sucked me in at Arlington 2003 to attend a presentation on
engine maintenance. The presenter was 25 minutes late, didn't apologise
but said we have lots of time this won't take long, and then did a
blatant 30 minutes sales pitch for Exxon. I complained to Exxon about
it but didn't get any reply. Arlington 2004 I noticed a presentation
with the same title so I looked inside - sure enough - same guy same
pitch. To bill a sales pitch as an engine maintenance seminar to get
people to attend is, to me highly unethical, and I won't deal with them.

Aeroshell W100; W100+ in spring, summer, ultrasummer, fall; 15W50 in
winter in Lycoming O-435-C.

AeroShell 15W50 year-round.
Continental A65-8, Central Ohio climate
I don't think we have ever used Exxon, and it has been quite awhile
since we last used Phillips XC.

Aeroshell 15W50 in Continental IO520 and TSIO520 in Cessna P206s used to
haul skydivers. The engines make TBO and in 1000 hours of flying these
airplanes we have not changed a cylinder.

There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing
as simply messing around with airplanes.

In Summer Aeroshell 100 and a strange (and expensive) additive supplied by
Lyc. in a plastic bottle...

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.

Lycoming O-360-A3A
Summer, Aeroshell 50
Winter, Aeroshell 40

I figure I don't need additives since it flies at least once a week. Chrome
jugs that burn a quart in 8-10 hours, so at 40-50 hours it's ready for a change and
has had a bit more than a case run through it.
