This worked well in my Piper Cub J-3 Continental A-75 engine, but I realize the M-14 is a different animal. Thanks, John P.

Temperatures (Fahrenheit) 30 to 115 , Airport field elevation 1500' ft to 7000' ft . Work well for us also.

Dennis Savarese" Subject: Re: Yak-List: Oil additives Not recommended John. Switch to Philips 25W-60 oil. It was specifically developed for radial engines. Or continue to use Aeroshell 100W, but with NO additives.

Now for the "maybe" answer. :-) First thing to consider is that the aviation oils we have now are probably an order of magnitude better than the oils that the Chinese and the Russians were (are?) using. Just switching to something like Phillips 25W60 is already a huge win. Consider that both the Chinese and the Russians redline their oils at 80C while Shell and the like set their redline (inlet oil temp that is) at around 120C. In fact, they suggest that you don't operate their oils at less than 75C (which certainly goes against the recommendations of the Chinese and Russians). The Russians also say wait until oil temps are 30C before flying but the multi-vis oils are already flowing well at temps below that. So there is a lot of latitude in here. I don't know if Avblend is going to help but clearly it won't hurt. If you are a belt-and- suspenders kind of guy, you might want to use it. OTOH, switching to a modern oil should be a must. And this advice is worth every penny you paid for it. ;-) -- Brian Lloyd 3191 Western Drive brian HYPHEN 1927 AT lloyd DOT com Cameron Park, CA 95682 +1.916.367.2131 (voice) +1.270.912.0788 (fax) I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things . . .
