ORIGINAL: w8ye

It wasn't used oil!

The fact is . . . Motor oil does not mix with the residual model fuel left in a model engine
Sorry, thats not a fact at all. Its an opinion and an erroneous one at that. Motor oils are designed to prevent corrosion on metals and to neutralise acids. They do this very well and model airplane engines are no different and no more harsh an environment or the EPA would be onto us like flies on horse dung.
