Aside from cold weather ops and having to warm up a little longer is there any problem with using aeroshell 120W in the M14?

I  live in central CA, where its gets +100F i the Summer and down to 

only ~30F in Winter.  The A/P at my local FBO has a lot of time with 

American round engines, and has found the mutli-weights (I think it'2 

25-60) have worked best for him.  That's what I use, happily now for 

over 200 hrs.



Of course the big round engines guys have a different story on this topic:

And why 'Precision Engine'  says single weight is better:



http://www.precisionengines.com/pdf/oilBulletin.pdf



And this from Aircraft Spruce on the benefits of multi-grade oil:



"X/C 25W-60 is the first and only multiviscosity aviation oil 

designed and approved for radial engines originally designed to run 

on 120 grade. Pilots and mechanics will notice immediate benefits 

with X/C 25W-60 over single grade oils. Benefits such as improved oil 

flow at startup, quicker warm-up time, cooler operating temperatures 

and a cleaner operating engine. X/C 25W-60 also has proven corrosion 

protection in extreme conditions. X/C 25W-60 can be used year-round, 

during break-in and on to TBO."

I also throw this in from MICROLON since I have treated all my car 

and a/c engines with it.  It really does work:
