Hey all, Was not the Ercoupe built before there was such a thing as "aviation oil"? Are we not starting to project modern technologies on old engines that were never designed to use or need them? Did the Coupes not use the same oil as automobiles? And Doesn't detergent just keep solid contaminants in suspension to keep it from caking, without effecting the performance of the oil screen (or of an oil filter?)...an added advantage in ANY engine? Just asking.

First thing that wore out was the lobes on his cam shaft. Remember that aviation oil is also formulated for different operating temperatures too.
