In reading old threads, it appears that choosing oil is one of the never ending debates. Rather than rehash that, please tell me if I've identified the appropriate oils.
My engine is an Aerosport Power O-032-D2A with an ECI case and Superior Millenium cylinders. Aerosport Power's guidelines for break-in read: "Use mineral oil for the first 25 hours of operation. Avoid synthetic blends for the first 100 hours" I plan to be flying for the first 25 hours or so in temperatures that could range from 10-60 degrees F...
My choices as best I can tell are:
1. Aeroshell 65 SAE 30 Mineral Oil (not at Spruce)
2. I can't find an Aeroshell multiviscosity mineral oil. Is there one?
3. Phillips Type M SAE 20W-50 Mineral Oil (readily available at Spruce)
4. Phillips X/C SAE 20W-50 (this is what the ECi breakin in manual recommends, but I only have an ECi case with Superior cylinders. Not sure if that matters.)
Which of these would meet Aerosport Power's requirements and my expected outside temperatures? Any suggestions?
