As you may know when you do cross country in a '55 there is not much room to bring oil with you. I find my self landing at FBOs that don't carry either Aeroshell 100W or 120w in summer (80w in winter). Not to mention Phillips 25w-60 is even harder to find (hence I use 100W). So Question 1: Can I mix/Blend Aeroshell 100w with 100? I understand that one is ashless dispersant and the other one is straigh mineral (no aditives)? Question 2 : Can I mix 100w with 80w when it starts to get cold? Question 3: Can I mix Aeroshell 100w with Phillips 25w-60?

I have noticed small drops falling from the right wing (when looking at it sitting in flying position in my Yak-55m), the first time I noticed was doing vertical flight but I dismissed as condensation or rain as the plane sat overnight with no covers while there was a storm (and yes as soon as I preflight the plane I saw water coming off the ailerons.) So I decided to look at again and I can see what I think is fuel drops leaving the plane from the right wing while doing acro (inverted or vertical) but it is only from the right wing and it does not amount to anything on the fuel levels (if I fly heavy on the right wing I have more fuel there if I fly heavy on the left, it cross feed to the left). While I do cross country, there is no loss of fuel so leveled flight or seating on the tarmac means no fuel loss. So is this normal? and I never noticed before? I assume that some fuel will get caught in the fuel vents and can drip off. but I rather hear your opinions.
