Adding Aeroshell W100 to Aeroshell 15W50 in a Lycoming 0-360
I am running my Archer on Aeroshell 15W50.
The Lycoming 0-360 burns about a quart of oil every 12 hours. I have a case of Aeroshell W100 and have no use for it and everybody at our field uses a multigrade. I was watching an Aeroshell video and was surprised that it implied that all Aeroshell oils were compatible. What is the Forums opinion on topping up 15W50 with W100. Roy

No problem if the viscosity change (it'll increase when cold) isn't a
problem for you. For what it is worth, ALL aviation oils are compatible, regardless of brand. KB "Roy Page" wrote in message k.net... I am running my Archer on Aeroshell 15W50.

Not only are all Aeroshell oils compatible, but pretty much all oils available are compatible, synthetics, blends and dino oils. I prefer not to mix brands just on account of because, but in all likelihood it is perfectly safe to do so. Matt

I'm slowly using a case of Aeroshell W100 (not W100 Plus) to top up on changes with W100 Plus and 15W50. -- Ben Jackson http://www.ben.com/
