Status: offline 		im wondering what oils are the best choices others, use in there 1/5 scale? i have been tempting the use of synthetic/castor but i have heard that the castor is not all benificial if ya use gasoiline as the fuel. i am currently using amsoil sabre mixed at 25-35 to 1 with good results. i have heard that performance can vary quite alot with different oils at this mix.i would never use a leaner mix in my zen and i will always use 100% synthetic unless i try a castor mix.
