recommended oil for 0470 gpu

[djbeagle]

I am a newbie to the 0470. I was wondering what is recommended for oil in this engine. Also I read a post somewhere not to put in the recommended amount of twelve quarts. The article stated to use something like nine to ten quarts..

Any and all info. greatly appreciated..

At the advice of a research engineer I broke in with 50 wt. Aero shell. He said never break in with a multi grade. I talked with a Shell tech guy--- he said break in with the multi was fine---it even says it on their bottle. I took my friends advise after a mind boggling explanation that sure sounded good to me. I always changed at 20 hrs. and switched to multi after the rings seated and there was no more oil on any of my plugs. I ran 10 qts.

Happy Trails
