Just read an interesting Ave web article from 1995 about the lawsuit that came about from its inability of this synthetic oil to scavenge the lead out of aircraft engines, which eventually caused oil control ring fouling and prop hub sludge buildup and engine lube related wear ect. My question goes out to folks that are burning auto unleaded fuel, are you still using ash less disbursement oil? I plan on experimenting with auto fuel in my full Dual EFII setup. The only drawbacks that I found with the synthetic oil was that it is so slippery with its long chain molecules is that it will not hold onto the lead from blow by and it will cause sludge, but what if there is no lead? On a different note, I have been doing an unofficial test with this Mobile 1 15/50 Oil in the Nitrous Ducati, four riding season and 30 K on the odometer, I have ran 60 LBS of NOS through this engine, many runs at full load and 10,000 RPM upshifts with no engine, clutch or transmission problems, and does not burn any oil between 5K oil changes. Mobil 1 appears to be a good lubricant because Ducati is not know for its reliability ;-) here is the article http://www.avweb.com/news/news/182891-1.html
