Use the correct oil!
Use the correct oil!
Do not use synthetic oil, if the engine has used AVGAS it will scavenge the lead out of the fuel and possibly deposit the crud in the hydraulic lifters blocking them. Very soon after the first take off you will have to make your first engine out landing.
My friend did this to his 0-200, lasted a few minutes then he was on the ground. Use the manufactures recommended oil, get it from the maintainers at your airport.
