oil junk
Skyking
AVblend does break down the carbon. GMAS, in my opinion, has hit the nail on the head. Radial engines have even a bigger problem with large carbon deposits plugging the screens.
I have no issue regarding take off oil temp. 180 degree temp during cruise does help to get rid of moisture which contributes to the carbon problem. Perhaps higher temp and higher oil pressures tend to dislodge the particles that were trapped.
I cannot say much but I have been dealing with a company that has been doing research on the subject. BTW seaplanes have the biggest problem, especially the "beavers".
Lots of flying seems to avoid the problem.
