Good day all,
I am a fairly recent owner of a MAC-145, serial number 209. I believe that I read somewhere that the main gear shock struts use something besides MIL5606. I thought I read that they use straight weight non-detergent motor oil.

Any help with what I need to use would be most appreciated.

Regards,
John R

Hi John, Doug from the B17 crew here. I’m at OSH and took a look at your beauty. Nice.

I run a OTW so can’t comment on yours but the members here are quite helpful.

I use 30w, was told by OTW guys.

Fly safe!
