Default RE: Using synthetic motor oil in engines.

Hi, I agree completely, I use either ATF or air tool oil (Marvel Mystery Air Tool Oil) for both after run and storage, in my glow engines. When I was first using glow engines in 1953, there were no synthetic based glow fuels available to me, and ATF was unknown to me. Much better oils available now.

I use Coleman lantern fuel and Pennzoil at 32:1 for my small low compression G23 Gas engine and it helps save the carburetor from damage from the ethanol we have to live with in our pump gasolines, and smells alot better. I understand there is a higher octane naptha based fuel for 2 stroke cycle gas engines available in Europe, do you know if it is available in the US? Thanks.

Sincerely,

Richard
