Dear Thread Friends, I have been using Aeroshell 15-50 in my 3300 for the 

last year. I see that Auto Zone sells Aeroshell W100 for about half what I pay 

for 15-50 at the airport. Is one weight grade oil better for hot summer time 

than the other ? Is there anything wrong with changing the weight from 15-50 to 

the W100 ? Will it damage anything ? Best to you, Bill of Hot Georgia

I would suggest you find a shell distributor in your area where you can buy it by the case.  W100 is fine for summer temps but I would suggest the W100 plus, which contains the same antiwear additives as the 15W50.

Here in Michigan I run the multigrade in the cool / cold weather but may just use W100 + in the summer.   You can mix different grades and makes of aviation oil without worry.

Hello Everyone:

 

Not to throw hot oil on this fire, but I thought SAE specifications regarding oil "weight' and mineral (aviation) oil 'weight were two very different scales; that is, SAE 60 and aviation oil 60 are very different.

 

True?

Jim, thanks for the oil info. Don't remember if the jugs said "plus" or not.

Here in Northern California, I've been using W100 winter and summer in my 3300.  I buy it by the case at a local distributor. 



Winter temps go from the upper 40's to 111F for today's high ('its a dry heat!').
