Mac, I did use a very expensive synthetic engine oil on the VW GPAS2180. (I thought that only the best is good enough for my airplane) After the first flight and loss of oil pressure I went back to the GPAS specification - never had a problem since, and the oil is a lot cheaper too.
I learned my lesson. Cheers Christian OE-VPD http://www.members.aon.at/oevpd -----Original Message----- From: Mac McConnell-Wood [mailto:macw...@tinyworld.co.uk] Sent: Donnerstag, 06.

I know Willie swears by it, but I get the impression that the engine tightens up when it gets up to operating temps.Thanks for any input. And Frank Ross over there in the gongless hinterlands of Suffolk ,if you yearn for the civilised environment of southern England, pop over some time and see my KR 1.5 and share a warm beer or three.
