Status: offline 		Gasoline has a some lubricating properties which help out; the RPM is usually much lower than a glow engine, so stresses upon the oil are lower; gasoline engines usually have roller or needle bearings in the lower con-rod end.

Glow engines have no lubrication except what the oil provides, and the alcohol in the fuel easily washes it out. You'll find that the larger, low-RPM glow engines don't need as much oil percentage as the smaller, high-RPM engines.
