Afterrun oil
Hey IM looking for a good afterrun oil, but I dont want to spend alot. There is allready a discusion on this in another forum, but I wanted to start a new forum, just for afterrun oil. I have been told to use what the hobby shops sell than allaboutfunhobbies said he likes 3 in 1 oil adn I heard from traxxas(my old car brand) that wd-40 works good for thier cars. i know that the hobby stuff probably works best but I just don't want to spend a lot of money. Do you guys have any cheap ideas?? or solutions. thanks:D

RE: Afterrun oil
I personally use Hobbico after run oil. It's like $3 for 2 ounces and since you only need a few drops to protect your engine, it should last you a while.

RE: Afterrun oil
I use prather after-run oil every body has their oil they like the one I use is 2 oz like the other guy said it's all the same just make sure you use it no matter what brand it is. It's good to put in a brand new motor and turn the motor over by hand or pull cord or roto start for about five to ten min to get the piston to seat in the sleve. And always use it when you are done running the engine pull the glow plug and put seven or so drops in there and also take the airfilter off and put some down there too. Have fun and injoy. Eric

I use Marvel Mystery Oil. It comes in a 10 oz. bottle for a few bucks. Can be found with any of the fuel/oil additives at Wal-Mart or any auto store. Good stuff.

RE: Afterrun oil
nah I'd highly recommend staying away from using wd40 as an afterrun oil. You'd be better off not using anything at all rather than that. Although wd40 displaces water it still does not have very good corrosion resistence. Its fine for using to clean the outside but never use it on the inside.
Afterun oil is just machine grade oil so many oil will do. But if you use your nitro more than once a week, after run oil is not really necessary. |

RE: Afterrun oil
okay, thanks for the help:D
|
RE: Afterrun oil
i agree, wd40 is not such a great lubricant/protectant, its just better to useafter run oil, its not that expensive and will last a long time. I usually buy hobbico:
http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXL391&P=ML your only talking $2.29, i think wd costs more than that. |
RE: Afterrun oil
just bought it at my hobby shop. i guess its not too expensive, but its not cheap. thanks for the help:D
|
RE: Afterrun oil
good, it should last you a while, dont overuse it, it can actually make the engine hard to start. 2-3 drops in the carb and the glow plug hole, then pull the starter a few times.
|
RE: Afterrun oil
okay, thanks ehroof, and all you peoples:D
|
RE: Afterrun oil
what about sidewinder fuel they say you dont need after run oil with there fuel i run it but still use after run anybody else have feeling bout this
|
RE: Afterrun oil
i think you should still use after run oil, just my opinion :)
|
RE: Afterrun oil
mine says that samething about you dont have to use after run oil but i do anyways
|
RE: Afterrun oil
if you run the engine more than once a week, the pros will tell you ARO is not really necessary. But I guess its a personal choice. But I agree, ARO make my engines dam hard to start cuz they clog up the plugs and for this reason I only use ARO every now & then.

RE: Afterrun oil
yeah but the oil is quite thick and still sticks to the inside of the engine. Anyway its only a minor quibble but still noticeable all the same.
|
RE: Afterrun oil
To be completly honest, the last time I used after run oil I didn't pull the plug before trying to start it again... What a pain in the butt!!
|
RE: Afterrun oil
thats the otherthing; I hate having to screw in & out the glow plug all the time when using ARO. it is a bit of a pain.
|
RE: Afterrun oil
So I dont have to use after run oil after every drive? I use taxxas 20% and that is high quality fuel and its supposed to have alot of oil. I run my car more than once a week. what do you guys think?thanks:D
|
RE: Afterrun oil

ORIGINAL: bluecaka69 what about sidewinder fuel they say you dont need after run oil with there fuel i run it but still use after run anybody else have feeling bout this |

|
RE: Afterrun oil
NJ? You mean Jersey City? or up in the mountains where I came from lol
|
RE: Afterrun oil
Red Bank NJ, exit 109 I think on the garden state. Hit traffic going thru Stagnant Island.
|
RE: Afterrun oil
So afterrun oil really makes it that hard to start after you use it?
|
RE: Afterrun oil
only if you use too much. only 2-3 drops in the carb and glow plug hole, then pull the starter a few times and your ok.
|
RE: Afterrun oil
After run oil is basically 2 stroke oil.
Go to your local walmart and buy a quart of 2 Stroke/Outboard oil for $3 and you have a lifetime supply. I personally dont use the 2 stroke oil myself because Im lazy. I use a rattle can with syntheic lube out of convenience. |
RE: Afterrun oil
to be more precise, after run is a mineral oil so you can even use baby oil if you had too! LOL not that I have tried myself...
|
RE: Afterrun oil
thanks guys but i will stick to after run, for $5 you get enough to last a while, why take a chance, i also heard it was the same as trans fluid and marvel mystery oil too.
|
RE: Afterrun oil
I read that you have to put 2-3 drops of ARO in then turn the car upside down and pull the pull start to get the extra oil out. Then do the 2-3 more times. Should I only do that once or 3?
|
RE: Afterrun oil
i put 2-3 drops in the carb and 2-3 in the cylinder, pull a few times with the plug out then put the plug in and put it away.
|
RE: Afterrun oil
Ok. Thanks.
