Removal of Mobil AV1 Oil from the approved TCM Oil Grade Listing

COMPLIANCE: MODELS AFFECTED:

Affects engines presently using Mobil AV 1 Oil within the next 25 hours

All

Teledyne Continental Motors approved the use of Mobil AV1 under MHS25 in 1987. Since that time we have monitored the service experience associated with the use of this oil in our liquid cooled and air cooled engines. Service history has been generally good except for certain reported instances of higher than normal lead deposits throughout the engine and stuck oil control rings. As a result of these reports into TCM's corrective action system, an analysis program was implemented with Mobil Oil to review the lead deposit and stuck ring issues. Following this review and a marketing analysis by Mobil a decision has been made by Mobil Oil Company to remove the Mobil AV1 oil from the market. TCM concurs with the decision and will remove the oil from our Service Bulletin M87-12 Rev 1 which lists approved oils for use in TCM engines. Within the next 25 hours, TCM requires that the oil be changed on any engine presently using Mobil AV1 oil and replaced with an oil approved under MHS24 as listed in Service Bulletin M8712 Rev 1. Based on reported field experiences and instructions from Mobil there should be no problem when changing from Mobil AV1 to another approved oil. As a precaution, operate the first oil change for 25 hours and then return to specified oil change intervals.
