Default THC after flying!

I was given a can of this stuff (see picture below) as a door prize at a local funfly recently. Couldn't figure out what it was at first, label is in Japanese, right? :stupid: After a bit I realized it was after run oil, the first time I had ever seen it in a spray can!

So I have been trying it, and so far am pretty impressed. It is now very easy to lube up my 26 Surpass, the flex tube spray extension shoots the oil right into the breather pipe and up the carb with ease. I know the oil is getting to the bearings because after a good two-second blast up the breather the oil is very aparrent at the front of the engine, and seems to hang around and drip every now and then from behind the prop (taildragger parked flat on the bench).

Has anyone else used spray oil like this? It's called THC Brand Engine Rust-proofing and Anti-corrosive Spray (according to my wife-translated label). There's 100ml in a $4.00 can. Made here in Japan, somewhere around Tokyo.

Oh, yeah, and don't inhale...
