Phillips Vs Shell blowby
My 0-200, 700 hours since new, I have been using
Phillips 100w for the last couple of years.
I always have some blowby out the vent tube
that gets the bottom of my fuselage oily, not a lot, but enough to
clean after each flight.
I inherited a box of Shell 100w, couple of hours, almost no
blowby.
I don’t see this as a problem, but curious as to how this is
possible.
oil levels are the same, viscosity same, both mineral oils, non synthetic.
Any ideas?

Interesting.
Running Phillips, perchance did you operate in a more dusty environment that might have just highlighted the blowby?

an A & P told me that the shell product contains cam guard, can it possibly work that fast, 2 hours flight time?
