Hi Joe
I suspect that Mobil 1 is no longer a superior product so I use the
cheaper and easier to obtain Castrol Syntec and unleaded fuel. Soob does
specify 50 weight oil for this engine for heavy duty applications and it
works a lot harder than it ever does in a car. My oil pan temp will get
up to 120 C (250 F) on hot weather climbs and the 5W50 is also
comfortable for sub freezing start ups. I only have about 65 hours on
the engine since new but I'm aware of others that have run similar for a
few hundred hours now.

Please don't all of you shoot me at once................I have a
suggestion for all of you who think your "rough" engine may be caused by
internal problems...Before you spend a lot of time, labor, and money, I
would install new spark plugs, new spark plug wires, and check the mags
if you have mags...(I know almost all of you did this first, but maybe
someone out there didn't?)...Above all, have a Pro. prop shop BALANCE
your PROP while it is on the aircraft.
I thought I had a problem with many of the symptoms some of you
mentioned, then had that rascal prop balanced, and I really have trouble
believing it is the same aircraft, it is sooo smooth, why didn't I have
that done many hours ago...It cut the "worry factor" by at least
60%...........Hope I didn't insult
anyone........................................CHEERS!!!!

I cannot agree more; this has been exactly my experience with my
MustangII. Particularily aircraft standard spark plugs; seems a lead
fouled plug makes a Lycoming so sick, it runs as if two cylinders went
on vacation.
With CDI's and auto plugs (why would anyone run mags and "those plug"),
smooth is the operative word. :-)))
