RE: kool power and after run oil

Yeah, the good ester based synthetics are European. I tried getting some Motul Micro until I saw the price. $80 a gallon plus shipping from one site, $75+ shipping at another. [X(]

RE: kool power and after run oil

Hazmat shipping fees are the main culprit. We've had high prices for several years. My car fuel is nearly $40 a gallon. To thwart the high cost of fuel, I mix my own. A gallon of 5% nitro 20%...

RE: kool power and after run oil

RE: kool power and after run oil

RE: kool power and after run oil

The engine was made in the early 80's. 1983 roughly. It was run on full castor fuel from the time I got it. When the rusted ring happened, it had about 1.5 gallons of fuel through it. The 50/50...

RE: kool power and after run oil

RE: kool power and after run oil

+1 on ARO when using full-synthetic fuels like Cruel Power. The Polyalkylene Glycol oils absorb moisture, and they tend not to stick to metal for very long when not in use. This stuff breaks down...
