----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- Put some AeroShell 15W50 in it. My neighbors and I switched both of ours at the same time and they have been fine. If I recall correctly you live in Colorado or somewhere out there. 40 weight gets real thick in cold weather! I am also pleased with the change in sounds that I have gotten, the grinding and tapping noises you can hear when you pull it back to about 600 rpm on the ground (if you pay any attention.) Much quieter. Also it was not weak on the first takeoff of the day like it was with 50 weight. Somebody will probably get on here and recite the myths about multi-weight and switching an old engine over. Don't believe them. Check out www.aeroshell.com, click aviation, and then click for their online library for the complete story on the 15W50.
