In looking at the engine logs my A/C primarily used Philips XC20W50. I began useing cam guard in the A/C but at the previous oil change to the one just done I inadvertently switched to Aero Shell 15W50 and cam guard. Now I have switched back but find that I had to add an extra quart of oil in the first 10 hrs of flight so I am thinking that the Philips might be burning a bit more oil. These first 10 hours however have included a good bit of low level training and included more take offs and landings so it might be nothing but I will keep a close eye on it. I have heard that if one changes oils you often will get differant rates of consumption.
