Different oils for different phases of the engines life. Straight 100 when its new and running in. Moving to AD80 at 100+ hours and the parts are bedded in. Other types for other phases and engine types.

You can mix the oils but its a kinda emergency thing (do it more in the bush than anywhere else) but then change the oil when back in civilization.
