Subject: AnPMech-List: Re: Multi-Viscosity Oil

Multi-Viscosity oils flow better at low temperatures, so you get better 
protection at start up. They also retain there thickness better at 
operating temperatures, so you don't lose as much oil through the 
pistons. 

I think it was Mobil's synthetic oils that caused a lot of engine 
damage, to the point that a lot of engines were replaced by the oil 
company. Multi-Viscosity oil has been around a lot longer than that, and 
if it was going to cause problems, it would already have, and they would 
no longer be available for airplanes.

My $.02 worth.
