Are you using 100 Plus? My understanding is that this is not a problem.
The copper is in the oil anti-scuff additive and not coming from your
engine.

I think thats what it is....I just went for the cheapest AD oil. I have
not gotten around to doing oil analysis and I'm not totally convinced of
the benefit...Will have to think some more on this as its about the
right time to be doing it.

There is not very much copper in the Lycoming engines. Piston pin
bushings, rocker arm bushings, couple of idler gear bushings. Only
other place to be concerned would be the rod bearings and if they are
down into the copper, idle oil pressure with the oil hot will tell you
that story.

ya know, every once in a while one person will have a problem with
something and suddenly it's a crisis.
I've been using 15w-50 for 15 years and never had anything out of the
ordinary occur. I can fly all year long (highs of 115 and lows of 10;
desert you know) on the same oil.
I've got customers who fly 20 hours a year and customers who fly 200
hours a year. They all use 15w-50. None of them ahve ever had the
sludge, rust, corrosion, or varnish problems my hangar neighbors have
had using single grade oil. The multi-grade is still the best oil for
the engine.

About a month ago I got a new 4371 to install on a customers plane.
When I installed the nut, it locked up the whole impulse coupling
mechanism. I took some measurements on the new one and compared it to
the old one. It had been manufactured wrong. When I tried to return
it (to Aircraft Spruce), I was given a run-around for 3 days. They
wanted me to talk to someone in the technical department at Unison to
see if I'd installed it in the plane wrong. They (Aircraft Spruce )
couldn't believe I found a manufacturing defect BEFORE it was
installed. I made 30 phone calls to Unison over two days and never got
a reply back. Aircraft Spruce finally just sent me a new mag (I'd
already returned the first new mag).
I got the second new mag yesterday. It's also F'd U. I called Unison
5 times yesterday without anyone answering my call. I finally got
Aircraft Spruce to go through their supplier. Gee, they found out that
pretty much all of the mags made since GE took over have been
manufactured wrong. In the mean time, the next batch of mags is due in
June.
I took a bunch of pics showing the defect just in case someone wanted
to see it. Sending them now to Aircraft Spruce.
