I am confused (by the way this is not unusual). After 5 years I am getting close to firing up the engine and committing aviation. However I have had numerous opinions on which type of oil I should use. I have one of the 180 Hp fuel injected Lycomings that I bought via Vans. The book that came with it says that I should use ordinary? aircraft oil from the start, but elsewhere I have read or been told to use straight mineral oil for the first 20 or so hours.
Is there a definitive answer to this question? I would like some sagely advice and guidance from the guys here on the forum that have a lot more experience than I do.
Thanks
Jim
