In my 40+ years of driving (all used cars) & flying I have never worn out an engine on any of them.  Not sure what that means.  Need to fly more?

My local Napa auto parts store stocks the Amsoil, but I guess I need to get their oil filter as well to get the better filtration. Pretty interesting. I will probably run it when I run my engine on the test stand as the plane isn't quite ready for the engine and I want to do some testing.

David, Mobil ! was a good choice, but not the best.  In independent tests, Amsoil has much better wear protection.

David,
I've used Mobil 1 after the first 10 hours.
It seems to work well with the RWS redrive.
