I realize that the "W" before the Aeroshell grades means it's an AD oil, but apparently, that's not what it means in the general oil parlance. Note that the 'M" version of the Phillips ...

My understanding is that it's the configuration of the oil journals.

Carl:

All good info. However, is the XC 25-60 AD? I was under the impression it was not, and it's because it's non-detergent that it can be used for break-in. Now that I'm looking on that Phillips ...

Yes, and they make sense.

Apologies, Jill.

I didn't mean to represent M-14P, Inc, or confuse anyone about this. I do remember a conversation we had regarding break-in where I thought you said you were using the XC 25-60. M ...

Carl:

No, I didn't think switching oil types is a bad idea.... just inconvenient.

Actually, many top engine shops have been won over by the XC 25-60. Air Repair, for example along with several ...

I have a few remarks about the oil for M-14P topic:

Lots of good information posted recently. I would add this:

Certainly, you can't go wrong with Aeroshell W80/100/120 (AD) in the M-14P, unless ...

Whoa. San Diego has had a lot of Yaks. My first 52 came from there, and I know there were several new ones imported at the same time mine was. I think that's also where Jill and Carl were before they ...

That explains it.

Occurs to me that I haven't heard of many (any?) 18Ts in the US. There must be a couple, though.

I'm guessing there isn't a stainless substitute with the strength needed.

My experience has been limited: Two Yak-52s, and both newer models. One of them had a leaky primer. All that was needed to fix it was a new (square) O-ring and I also used fuel-proof grease when I ass ...
