Bob, I've been using Phillips 20-50 year around and have been
satisfied. Makes life a little simpler to only use one type and
vis. of oil. The challange for me is to cover enough of the air
inlets in the nose bowl so the engine gets to operating temp. Duct
tape seems to be the best solution. ( It's a mid-west thing) :)

heard that the new synthetics are better for starting, and all
seasons use. The motor has apprx 300hrs SMOH. Also The cylynders
have been chromed at time of OH.
