RE: Pennzoil Users Only
I used to start at 32:1, then move to 40:1 after break-in. Though I do have two engines that I started on 32:1 and have left them there ever since...they are very happy engines, and I don't mind the paper towel I need to toss into the flight box. I can't say I've noticed any significant difference between running 32:1-40:1, great oil though and have no plans to move away from it.

32:1 for break in and after thinking about it, I may just stay there. Even breaking in my current motor, there is not that much to clean up-only on the left stab/elevator.
What would be the reason to go from 32:1 to 40:1 on a DL50?????

i do not think a person will see a differnce of going from 32 to 40 to 1. now maybe at 50 to 1 there would be a little less to clean up here. I am no expert as i am just guessing while we wait for the experts to chime N. I think my mind, and bearing love the oil i give them at 32 to 1 but i think they would still out last my needs at 50 to 1.
