How’s it going, this is my first post, I’m new to airboating and have a question about Aroeshell oils. I run an O360 on a 12’ 6” Ricochet. I’m changing my oil next week, can someone tell me the difference in W100 and W100 Plus? Also what would be best for my O360? Thank ya’ll for any input!

The Plus includes the Lycoming cam wear (preventative) additive. The additive is not as good as Cam Guard alone and you don't want to use both.
I'm in the middle of changing my oil. I use Phillips Victory, it has the same additive as the AeroShell Plus but cheaper. $94.80 a case from Gilbert's in Okeechobee.

Job done, all that sh..tuff will blow off by the time I hit cruise control on the Turnpike tomorrow.

I've been getting Victory from airplaneoil.com. It gets delivered within a few days and the cost with shipping is about the same as me driving somewhere to buy it ($100 +/-) for 12 qt. case.
Right now they have some old stock (but within shelf life) Victory for $60 plus delivery to my area which is about $88 total: Phillips Aviation Victory 100AW (June 2021) - Case of 12 Quarts

Bayou,
Given you are new to all this, note that your engine has a suction side screen in the oil pan, I believe on front of your engine, maybe on stbd side. This uses a copper gasket you will want to replace. There is also a screen inside the cylindrical housing up high in the front, unless you have the spin on filter kit. This housing uses a gasket that needs to be replaced.

Thank you! I do have a WIX spin on filter, the copper gasket on the stud side I will have to look for, I wasn’t aware. Thank you!
