Posted: Mon Jan 11, 2010 2:37 pm Post subject: IO 540 motor oil?

In doing my cowl fitting it was necessary to rotate my three bladed prop. I pulled the bottom plugs and had a significant amount of the motor oil containing the anti corrosion additive out of #1 and #3 cylinders. 

  

 I just got a sample of the Cortec VC1-326 additive but can someone tell me what motor oil the engine normally uses. My engine manual is behind a pile of stuff which I cannot get out of the way right now.

  

 Thanks

  

 John

Per Ricksked if the engine is new you MUST use straight Mineral Oil per Lycoming's specs until "the oil consumption stabilizes". Get it from your local FBO, Spruce, or Chief Aircraft. Be sure to drain all of the preservative oil from the engine first.

I spoke to Lycoming's Bart C He then spoke to the tech department. He said that the Cortec VC1-326 could be added to a 20w-50 mineral engine oil in a 1 to 10 ratio. I will be using a syringe to fill the two cylinders that lost the oil whan I removed the lower plugs.
