I use REM38E plugs instead of the standard REM40E plugs. it runs as sweet as a well oiled swiss watch. oil is BP D100 made in america. oil I used before the local BP stopped being sold it by Shell was AeroShell D100. oil is changed every six months or every year, doesnt seem to make much difference I think because I try to keep each engine run to something over an hour. on the other side of australia the supply is 100LL. I've never noticed a difference in the running characteristics with either fuel. engine has 550 hours on it now. I'd say that proves the combination. I think you are referring to the problems with the early phillips multigrade oil arent you? the O-200 itself has no problems with the fuel if you use the appropriate plugs.
