Hi!
Jens have you tested the new syntetic oils that became available 10-15 years ago? Aerosynt 2 (now 3) aerosave and Motul Micro and lots of others.
Over here in Sweden it is very common to just use syntetic oil. In the Stockholm region where I live I don't think anyone use Castor oil anymore.
Being active in pylon racing I'm forced to use 80/20 Castor based fuel, but that is only due to the rules prohibit synthetic oils.
Tried and ruined ball bearing in 4 SC stroke engine...
Jaka, are you very sure no anyone in Stockholm are using castor oil when Flyer95 who live in Stockholm wrote this:
Hi Guys,
I have now done the break-in for my saito 180 and it goes like a train and was very reliable out of the box, and after I leaned the idle mixture 1/2 turn it idled very reliable at 17-1800rpm . I used 25% cheap castor oil and 15% nitro so nothing fancy here for the first two tanks and then my usual 20% syntetic/ castor blend and 15% nitro. Very good compression & very easy starting engine and the vibration level is also very low . Many thanks /Amir
Also you are slave of rule for pylon racing when you are using castor oil
