Most of the mechanics that I have talked to recommend fixed weight. 
that variable. Aeroshell 100+ has so many additives that it ought to 
be the best. I still add Toplube w/Graphite(AS&S pt# 08-05560, 
$12.95) to every oil change.

My engine has been torn down 3 times in 750 hours and was still had 
the best looking insides of any other engine at the engine shop. The 
exhaust valve guides were still within limits but were starting to 
wear. We changed them. My engine mechanic says that the valves wore 
because of running lean. I don't believe him and still run lean below 
75% power.
