Klots synthetic oil or other manufacturers synthetic oil designed for model airplane fuel, and synthetic oil you find in an auto parts store that is designed to go into your cars crankcase ??

Pretty much everything, in particular the weights and additive packages. Mixing with methanol and running wet sump in a petrol engine are very different environments.

Remember your car is a 4 stroke.......oil is designed to pretty much stay in the system,.....Two stroke oil is designed to lubricate and burn.......Klotz is good stuff.......

Years ago when I was flying a lot to practice for pattern I bought
a 55 gal. drum of methanol, several gals. of nitro and cases of klotz and mixed my own fuel just as I did my outboard gas. No different, just measure everything. Anyway the point I am trying
to make is klotz is a 2cycl oil and during tear downs I saw no difference in carbon build up from my fuel and store bought fuel.
