Hello!
Here in Eorupe most people use The new syntetic oils from Graupner called "Aerosynt 2" and aerosave and the French Motul racing oil brand who makes an oil that is called "Micro" made specificly for glowengines.
These all syntetic oils are used in quantities as low as 6% in both twostrokes as well as in fourstrokes but most people prefere 10-15% oil.
Castor oil is a thing of the past
After more than 27 years in this hobby I only use it in my pylonracing engines (F3D) as the rules are a little oldfashioned and only permits castor oil!
In all of my sport aircraft from the smallest COX .49 engine to my largest MVVS 1,50 engine in a SIG CAP 231 EX I use 15% Motul " Micro" oil and 5% nitro.!
And belive me I take out horsepower from my engines!
Still the engines are as new when looking inside them , that was not the case when I run on castor oil...well all my engines worked perfectly then too....the difference now is that there is no carbon built- up inside and that the throttle respons has improved markedly for some engines like the MVVS engines I have used ( .40, .49 , 1,44 twin, and the 1.50 single).
Why so many Americans still hang on to 20%castor and castor/ syntetic mixes pussles me???
Haven`t you tried the ne syntetic oils????
Try the Motul "Micro" oil and you will not use anything else in your glowengines!
You will find the Motul brand of oil in every motorcycle shop!
Regards!
