Re: DA Break In Change! Confirm from DA; quote: I would just run Redline Racing Oil at 40:1 from the start. For break-in, just tune the motor for optimal performance and go fly. It will break itself in as you fly. Thanks, Jeff Desert Aircraft Interesting vid from Redline's Cameron Evans (see next entry). I guess I'll run 40:1 with their 2 stroke racing oil rather than use another brand at 100:1 (though it would be cheaper). |

Re: DA Break In Change! this has probably got more to do with EPA regulations than improved engine technology. |

Re: DA Break In Change! I ran my 120 on Stihl Ultra HP synthetic right from the get go. After 85 flights and now at 50:1 she purrs like a kitten

Re: DA Break In Change! I just picked-up some lawnboy ashless and was told by the dealer that Lawnboy will not be making the ashless any longer. The ashless 'break-in' oil is just more abrasive and speeds the break-in process. You can use synthetic right from the 'get-go' but it'll just take longer for everything to seat-in. |

Re: DA Break In Change! OK; Clarification from the source; "This is not entirely true. We still suggest Lawnboy for break in on everything except the 60 and 120. However, we only suggest Redline for break-in on our motors. We have not stated that you can use any synthetic for break in. If you want to use a synthetic for break in we suggest Redline Racing oil at 40:1. Thanks, Jeff Desert Aircraft" |

Re: DA Break In Change! Interesting. I did the same for my 170. So far one season in and no problems. I know a few pilots doing the same with no issues. |

DA Break In Change! I was just surfing the Flying Giants Site and I came accross this thread; http://www.flyinggiants.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=67856 It would seem that DA has changed their thinking and they no longer recommend 30:1 break-in oil for 4 gallons of gas... the NEW thinking is to go strait to 50:1 synthetic oil.  Has anyone else heard of this... change?
