On my 115 WS it does not smoke nearly as much as it does on my 140 DZ. however both engines run exceptionally well and transition very smoothly. Through both engines I have less oil residue then on my previous mix using the Cool Power Green synthetic.
On a side note, a few weeks ago when flying with Richard Verano I was able to hold a 200 for a few minutes, almost made it into my car before being caught.
Viscosity has been talked about during this thread. I use 20% MV in non low oil engines and they run great.
Cool Power Green use 17% HV oil.
It's interesting that your buddy won't tell you which oil he is using. I wouldn't buy it not knowing the brand.
