Hello Mooney People, New top overhaul has gone well and have now, after about  18 hours , gone back to AD oil instead of straight mineral oil. My question is.....

When can I go back to adding Camguard to the oil. If the new cylinders will still break in a little , the Camguard  would??? prevent that?

Thanks Everyone!

Topic was supposed to be Camguard.   Stupid computer changed that without asking permission!!!

If temps have come down break in is complete, cam guard to my best understanding is both, an anti scuffing agent and an anti corrosion agent, if you fly at least once a week you do not need the anti corrosion agent, gut feel I would give it one oil regular change interval, typically 25 or 50h depending on engine, before adding the camguard, others will chime in that know more

Yeah Camguard has both anti-corrosive and anti-wear. 

You can change your topic to Camguard in the little “…” menu …

I did not know that

If one is using oil with additive like Aeroshell W100 or Philips AW20W-50 adding Camguard is redundant.

Some say use Camguard only with oil without the additive.

Not correct... there is the Lycoming anti-scuff additive and that is different than the anti-corrosion package of Camguard.

I run Phillips 20W-50 year-round with Camguard.  I added Camguard after ~25 hours post-overhaul with my second oil change.

I’m doing X/C 20w50 and Phillips Anti-Rust (10%) in mine vs CamGuard right now. I can use Victory and Anti-Rust once I have about 100 hours on my engine…
