How come everything has to get nasty?
Almost every JET engine runs on synthetics.
My Brothers 77 Piper runs very well on synthetics.
So you get a drip ............... rather have a drip than a dead engine.
As if synthetic would make a big difference in an engine running 90% of
capacity most of the time.
