Are aviation lubricants compatible?
General Aviation News
From Jan. 19: In the mid-1950s, I went along with my father to my uncle's service station to buy some oil. While we were there, the man who owned a service station in the neighboring town came in to buy some oil.
My uncle, who knew the man well, asked him if he came in to buy the good stuff as opposed to the brand that he sold. After a few laughs, the man explained that he had just purchased a used vehicle and the previous owner had always used my uncle’s brand of oil.
