P Pat Stewart Well Known Member Nov 1, 2012 #1 Engine broke in but still have almost a case of mineral oil. Can you use mineral oil too long? Pat
mannanj Well Known Member Nov 1, 2012 #2 Mineral I'd use it to top off between changes and throw in a quart or two in with your regular changes unless someone else needs the oil.

Mel Legacy Member Mentor Nov 1, 2012 #3 Like Mannan says, just use it in conjunction with your regular oil. Won't hurt a thing.
rzbill Well Known Member Nov 4, 2012 #5 +1 Thanks. I was curious too and had not gotten around to asking my locals.
mike newall Well Known Member Sponsor Nov 4, 2012 #6 Keep using the mineral oil until it is finished - then switch to multigrade.

RV10inOz Well Known Member Nov 5, 2012 #8 The oil you want is AEROSHELL 100. When you are done with that use either the Aeroshell W100 Plus or the Aeroshell W 15W-50. My preference is the 15-50
