We are trying to figure out what brand oil to run our engine on. Is one brand better than the next for any particular reason, or is it a Coke, Pepsi sort of thing? I would appreciate any reasons anyone has for selecting one brand over the other, other than just brand recognition. Also, does it matter for break in versus remaining engine life (oil type aside).
Hopefully this doesn't turn into a primer war, but I can imagine it might. I dug through the archives with no joy.
Just getting ready to dump in oil and fire it up!!
Thanks, Jason Kreidler

By recommendation of my engine re-builder and A&P. I use Aeroshell. For break in I used straight mineral oil, 100. After break in, I went to 10w50.

Jason,
Now that you're about to be flying, it might be a good time
to open a subscription to Aviation Consumer. You can then
also go and look at all back articles on the web. They
basically are currently saying that the best corrosion
protection and deal on oil right now is Philips X/C 20-50,
plus Camguard. You can use Philips from the start, and then
after about 50 hours you can start using Camguard.
I still have a pile of Exxon Elite on hand so I'll be using
that for a while, but still using Camguard as an additive.
They have reviewed Camguard and oils a couple times in the
last year or two.
