Since we have owned our Yak 52, we have used Aeroshell 50 weight strait
mineral oil. Our engine has around 450 hours on it. We are considering
switching from strait mineral oil to a multigrade oil. Is this going to
cause any problems that I am not aware of? If we do change, is there a
multigrade oil that is mineral oil based? I have been told that Phillips
has a multigrade oil that is exactly what I have mentioned. Your input
will be appreciated.

Philips 25W-60 is a mineral based oil and was developed for radial engines.
Many of us, including myself, use it.

I just bought a 55 gallon drum of it yesterday! Got the price down to about 1.25 per quart. They wanted to get rid of it after the DC-3 operation left the field.
