Aeroshell Oil W15W-50 is a premium semi-synthetic multigrade ashless dispersant oil with an advanced additive package incorporating the Lycoming LW 16702 anti-wear additive.
CFC has started changing oil brands and servicing all single-engine airplanes (Lycoming equipped) going into maintenance with Aeroshell Oil W15W-50 instead of the previously used Phillips 66 X/C Aviation Oil 20W50
2.OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
