One point that needs to made, if you’re using a 100% synth blend, the use of after-run oil is very much recommended, no matter what brand of synth you use.
Just bought a gallon of Cool Power as that was all the LHS had in stock and was wondering about the synthetic oil only thing. Good thread, I guess I won't worry too much about running it though my Evolution .46 and .61. The thing is though, the jug says on it that NO after run oil is needed when using this fuel. Is that correct??
They might say that, and it may be true to a certain extent, but when I was racing 1/10th and 1/8th off road, I had 6 engines in rotation, before I started using after run oil (air tool oil) I would need to change a set of bearings every six months due to corrosion, I've never lost a set from rust since using the ATO. I also find the more nitro I used, the more susceptible to rust they become.
