What type oil? (according to RAM)

Post by GAHorn »

I find that RAM aircraft engines of Waco, TX enjoys an excellent reputation regarding engine rebuilding and operations. They are one of the few rebuilders who will put their oil recommendations in writing.
What I did not realize was, they are not fond of synthetic and semi-synthetic engine oils.
