SEMI-synthetic is fine. If you'd been using full synthetic I think it
would be another story. Probably Steve recommended semi for that reason.

Steve Bennett was using NAPA semi-synthetic in my engine when I bought it

Hi Ken,
Yeah! The oil chat!
From what I’ve read, there are some new full synthetic oils that are pretty
good in street VWs.

I've taken the liberty of copying snippets from numerous articles that help to
understand the differences between the various oils and what you may want to
consider when selecting an oil for your engine, whether it is a VW, Corvair,
Continental, or Lycoming.

Thanks for the articles Phil. They articulated very well the points that I was
making about using multi-viscosity oils. The netters have already spoken at
large about how the aviation oils 100w Aeroshell and the like are too thick for
our engines (auto conversion guys). O-200's have it. It is

Just remember according to SAE 20w50 will not flow properly below 15 degrees,
so not only is it important to pay close attention to the outside air temp, but
also the altitude temp (Winds Aloft Chart) that you will be flying at.
Otherwise, just change at a good service interval, say every 50 ho
When my Revmaster was built in the early 80's they recommended 40 weight,
now they say 20/50.

Phil mentioned running only straight 40W oil in his RG2000 by recommendation.
Just for the record I will say this is foolish and potentially catastrophic.
Straight weight oils went out of use by all engine manufacturers including
aircraft by the mid 1970's. Multi-viscosity oils have been used
