Netters,
First I want to thank all who responded to my question about obtaining
aircraft oil. The best advice I received was to find out where the local FBO
gets his and try to make a arangement with that dealer them to buy it by the
case or two.
Some of you who responded assumed that I was going to use 50 weight oil in
an auto engine and this is not the case. I have a 110 horse Lycoming that I am
going to use it in. 50 weight is what the manufacture calls for but it creates
a problem of hard starting during the winter months. My question is, does
anyone know of a method of pre-heating the engine prior to start. I have heard
of a heated oil dip stick for cars that are very popular in the northern states
where the temps are below zero in the winter, I am wondering if such a device
is available for aircraft?????
