Where did that come from? Neither Cont. or Lyc. recommends such a thing in ANY of their break-in procedures that I've ever seen. What they DO require (at least for most of their engines) is one of the straight mineral oils - meaning no additives like those found in the after-break-in oil, such as Shell 50-100 multigrade or the like. Be careful out there, use the wrong oil in your aircraft engine and you will pay, one way or the other! Dan Schaefer
