Anybody have any planning suggestions for what oil I should ask the FBO to stock for a fly-in?



If I have 10 Yak/CJs coming, how much 50 weight, 60 weight, 25W60, etc. should I suggest that they carry?



Thanks,

Jon

I use AeroShell 120 which is 60 wt. Stays in the engine  better than 50 wt. If there is any left over  i would take a couple of  cases.

 When I used to figure oil requirement for the FBOs at our clinics, I'd use  1 qt/airplane/ hour of flying.  Therefore with 10 aircraft that 10qts per  hour of flying.  Make a WAG at the numbers of hours you might fly  during the show than add an hour for arrival needs and an hour for departure  needs.  This will give you a close number.  At this time of year 100  or 50 wt is a good all around oil.  If you feel it will be a little warmer  get the 120/60wt.  Quiz those who are going if they are using 25W60, turn  it into a percentage and have that as part of the total.  Like Flush,  a lot of guys will buy the extra.  The FBO will not have a whole bunch left  to hold.

  

 That's I did.  Hope that's a help.

John, 

The two most popular oils at All Red Star are Aeroshell 100 and Phillips X/C 25/60.  

If you have 10 airplanes coming figure 4 quarts per airplane per day and you'll be safe.

Hope this helps.

Barry
