Those Nazi Road Oilers leaked so much oil you didn’t need a filter.

But Ross, a Wisconsin engine isn't made by PCM!!

FYI, Wisconsin does recommend multi weight oils per the manual.

Pete,
You are welcome, but the link was not intended for your use. I knew that you already were knowledgeable on the engine.

Duane,
Thanks for the link but I do have the manual.

1000 hp?    I am assuming that was per cylinder. At least that is what our motor made. Actually more like 1250 per hole.
I'll let you and Pete haggle this one out..

Post the links, so much learning needed.

Then when he gets done with that maybe he can read this

Ross,
I highly recommend you do some reading about multi weight oils. Your statement tells me you don't know what the 20-50 means. FYI, the 20 is the base weight of the oil so a 20-50 acts like a straight 20 when it's cold. Then, when hot it acts like a 50 weight. Doesn't Amsoil have a FAQ section on their web site? Also, how familiar are you with a Wisconsin S-14d? BTW, I don't ice fish!!

No liquid water for a few more months but I did break into the VR1. My 69 Bolens with the 12 HP Wisconsin single was due for a change and I figured I'd start running the 20-50 in it since I used my last quart of 30 a couple months ago.

I had been running this high tech straight 30:

That’s a nice little hot rod with very traditional lines. Did you build it yourself?

I’m betting that oil wasn’t even around back in my youth. Interesting—what r u flying around in?

I guess it would be interesting to note delta T. Back in the late 70’s when I was at U if I aviation institute we were trying to get FAA approval for extending oil change intervals on training aircraft, since we hit 100 hour standard oil change times every few weeks on basic training aircraft. We ran Phillips 30 straight viscosity against the Ester-based Mobil One formulation and ran cyclic power/cooling to simulate lots of touch and go landings and ran the engines to 2000 hours. I wish I had access to the tear down photos. Measuring the Dino oil engine showed some pretty significant wear that would clearly require overhaul. The synthetic oil engine measured very close to a zero-time engine. I wasn’t there to find out if U if I got permission to extend drain intervals but I sure did start using synthetic oil on all of my engines large and small. I wish Mobil still made the gas to liquids formula—rumor that they do for some Euro-spec applications but don’t have any inside knowledge. I think Amsoil and others make gtl synthetics.
