Sourcing Phillips 20W50 in Europe ?

What about availability in the UK?

W80, south of France, with its -17 + 21C or so temperature range, is a bit marginal. From June to September one regularly has 30/35C on the ground. And with 100h/year, using different oils is not practical.

In a similar climate here, almost everybody runs W100. That’s the norm, with a few people running multigrade. Nobody runs W80.

I don’t buy the temp range stuff – see here.

The oil temp is thermostatically controlled during flight. It is purely a starting issue.

Good to hear, thanks for PIREP.

+1 for Jan, I buy oil from him as well.

Me too. Also found at aero3d.fr
