There is a better fluid than 5606 that is COMPLETELY compatible with 5606 that is fire resistant. In fact there are several, but I'm going with Aeroshell 31. It's a synthetic and you only need to drain the 5606 and replace with 31 (MIL-PRF-83282). Sorry I won't see you guys at Oshkosh, but I just got back from a 3600 mile trip out west in the RV-8. These birds sure do well at extremely high density altitudes (10,000 ft.+). The country in Northern Arizona and Northern New Mexico is awesome. (Especially for a Flat-Lander like me!) :-) Also-It's probably better to NOT make this trip during record heat for the area!!! :-) Still waiting for you to show up in Senoia, GA. Have a good time and eat some donuts for me! Jim Crunkleton RV-8 N802JD
