So bassicly u r sayin tha 1000 is like a 10w in oil or 7000 is 70 w in auto dif fluid thanks for the quick replys it was helpful. iknow that 70 wt diff oil automotive is thick so could u use them fluids in ur diff the automotive stuff that is also i was at my local recreation store and got some filter oil for foam filter and was lookin at foggers like after run oil i guess or is it compleatly different? . I use to do small engine repair and at the end of season we would fog the motors so they would not corode is this the same process and can i use this product they have them for carb and engine combination.thanks
No... 10 weight is like 10 weight car oil. 10,000 weight is like honey. I would never use automotive oil in an rc car, rc car and real car oils are formulated differently, some types of oil may be bad for the bearing seals and plastic transmission case. The viscosity is the same, 70wt shock oil would be just as viscous as 70wt [car] diff oil. As for filter oil, I just get mine at a motorcycle shop, its like $5 for a ton. You run fogger though a mower engine while the engine is running, with an rc car engine you just put a few drops of after run in the carb (or head) and pull the motor over a few times. Rc car stuff is very specific, its best just to use the stuff meant for it.
