Any source for this info?
All my air-cooled OPE gets the cheapest 15W-40 money can buy,
and I have never had any oil consumption problems, much less any oil-related related failures.
It's all the *external* stuff that dies first....
plastic gas tanks crack, fuel pumps fail, wiring and switches fail...
But I have never had any issue that traces back to the oil I use.,
