Status: offline 		yeas it can, what percent oil is it? 10% nitro seems a little bit low but it will work just fine if you just retune your engine, alsot of people say you cant run heli or plane fuel in a car, but nitro si nitro, methanol is methanol, and oils are oils, just make sure it has at least 12% oil and you are good

Status: offline 		My son has run zero nitro 80/20 all castor fuel in his car with no problems whatsover so that coolpower will be fine although if it were my engine I'd be adding a little castor to be safe.

Status: offline 		asmund... coolpower is ALL synthetic. Omega is the 70/30 synthetic/castor mix.
