(chris davis) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 02:26:02 PM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Oil Injection... OK to change type??? From: "albertakolbmk3" Hi, First off I would like to say hi to everyone on the board. I purchased a kolb MK3 2 months ago. Just finishing my hours toward my ultralight permit. I have a 582 with oil injection and am wondering if it's ok to go from a synthetic to a mineral oil even after the engine has run exclusively on synthetic. It was run using Bombardier XP-S full synthetic 2 cycle oil. Is it better to stay with what the previous owner has been running. I'm not trying to be cheap but the local dealer wants $70 CAN for a gallon. I've had dirtbikes all my life and have never run synthetic in any thing I own and have never had any issues. I change my oil religiously.

Certain types, most notably Pennzoil Air Cooled and Pennzoil Marine will congeal when combined.

A dino oil will be a little better in terms of corrosion protection anyway as it sticks to surfaces better than synthetic. I always used the pennzoil air cooled which I think has recently been rebranded to something else. Make sure the new grade you switch to meets the API TC specification (tho a TCW-III oil will work acceptably in the 582 also if that's the only grade available). As for the oil injection I suppose you should drain it out before changing the oils (I always ran premix so never did maintenance on the oil injection).
