I hate to say this, but for the first time I actually read the labels on the one gallon container of 30% Sidewinder Fuel i bought today.

First notice that hit me was the one that reads "DO NOT USE AFTER RUN OIL" Sidewinder fuel already includes a lubricant.

What say you guys???

If your storing your engine, use ARO, if your running at least once every few weeks and its stored in a climate controlled area, I don't think its needed, most fuels leave plenty of castor oil behind and most of the components inside are coated with castor oil all the time.

I ran Sidewinder for a short time till I found other fuel I liked MUCH better and I all ways used after run oil as it is just cheap insurance. A bottle of after run oil is a few dollars and an engine cost $$$.[X(]

+1. You don't need after run oil unless the engine won't be run for more than a couple weeks. I only use it when I plan on not running for a few weeks. In doing so, I've never had an engine fail because of internal corrosion.

One of the reasons I use sidewinder(has after run oil in it) the prices of some nitro at the moment makes it a good choice ... cost for lhs is $30 for nitrotane and I can get a gallon of sidewinder for that price ... at the moment I am cosideering changing cause I have a freind who bought half a pallat of odonnel %30 gen2 back in april foer about half the price what it is now per gal

sidewinder does contains after run oil... I've been using the sidewinder 30% worlds formula for two years with out having any issues after storing some engines for several months.. I just turn the flywheel on my stored engines twice a month and that is it... I will never use any other brand besides sidewinder...

Maybe I misunderstand what you are saying but O'Donnell does not make Gen2 Byron does. O'Donnell makes Race and R2R (Ready To Run) blends.

I thought he said odonnel and I asked if it was gen 2 and thought he said yeah lol ... he was unloading all it (back in june)and we have discussed me buying some again within past month ... ***thats why I read this forum , to read and learn ... I do believe I will buy some regardless and put down in the cellar ...
