I think it means they will eliminate the 100hr oil change limit and replace it with a 50hr limit.

I was corrected: sounds like the 25hr will be eliminated.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm,

I have to think a 25 hr. would do a better lead removal over 50 hr., but no big deal.
I had always hoped they would change the 100 hr. to 50. Everyone I know that uses 91 oct. uses 50 hr. I don't think I know a single owner that uses 100 hr. I'm sure they do though.

Long time ago we examined an engine for a guy who used Wal-Mart oil at $2.00 Qt and ran it for 100hrs between oil changes.
He thought he was saving money. :(

So just to clarify: What I am hearing now is just follow the maintenance manual which says:

- 100 hours for 91 AKI Mogas (with or w/o up to 10% alcohol)

- 50 hours for 100LL used 30% of the time or more.
