Still fluid down to more than minus-30F, as I recall. I used it for hundreds of hours in the old Continental A-80 in the Dragonfly, and intend to use it in the Lnc2's IO-320. It has high film strength, and always cranked easily at cold temps. Many manufacturers and weights now available in places like AutoZone. Any adverse comments by other users?
