" From: JOE FULTON <piper_pa20@xxxxxxxxxxx> " " Shell makes a "lay up" oil. I think it's an Aeroshell " brand made for piston aircraft engines which get " stored over the winter time especially in the frigid " parts of the world. You might try to contact a Shell " distributor and get the price and ordering " information. Note that if it is an Aeroshell you will " have to leave you Rambler mentality at home in the " garage before you order it. :) " " The disadvantage I think is that it is intended for " "running" engines and not for storage on a stand where " the engine can't be run. The oil is added at the last " regular oil change before storage and the engine is " warmed up at least one, allowing the storage additives " to contact and cling to the metal parts. just found http://www.shell.com/home/content/aviation-en/aeroshell_site/home_page.html maybe you're thinking of 'AeroShell® Fluid 2F', which doesn't sound like a conventionally usable oil -- http://www.shell.com/home/content/aviation-en/aeroshell_site/how_to_use_2f.html 100w?!? and it specifically says you're not to run the engine on it for any extended time. their 'regular' oils are at http://www.shell.com/home/content/aviation-en/productservice/aeroshelllubricants/pistonengineoils/dir_pistonengineoils_10190913.html nick's military-grade stuff sounds more like something you can drive on. ________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Hay the genius nature internet rambler is to see what all have seen adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and think what none thought
