I will never understand why the aircraft engine manufacturers have not endorsed the mandatory use of 100% synthetic oils in their engines. Synthetics have been used in all jet engines since their inception and turbines cost a hell of a lot more than a small piston engine. You would have a much better running, longer lasting (less wear), cooler (less friction), less fuel burning machine with the use of synthetics. Time for all to wake up !!!
