I passed my FAA inspection in Oct 18th, but since then I've had a couple of problems. Now I am getting close again. I have SAE 50 mineral oil in the engine, but ambient temps here in N. California are about 35 - 40 at night and 50 - 55 deg F during the day. Should I switch to the SAE 40 mineral oil, or is the 50 still okay to use at these temps? I am thinking I will stay with the SAE 50. Anyone think that is a bad idea?
