Rene,

The Mobil AV-1 was a pure synthetic and was pulled from the market. =
Mobil had to rebuild or replace a bunch of engines mostly because of =
damage caused by sticking valves.  It seems that synthetic oil will not =
dissolve lead deposits.  Exxon is now marketing a semi-synthetic AV oil =
called Elite.

  Dear Folks,

  Why is synthetic oil not recommended after break-in in Lycoming =
engines?  I know they leak but we all know synthetics lubricate better.  =
Is it just a certification problem and should we experimental actually =
use synthetics like Mobil one or Catrol?

  Many opinions are flying around so hit me with a few.

  Rene' Dugas

  Flying.

  FYI.  I don't know the Rutans and have only done one aileron roll in =
my plane.
