After run oil alternative that I might have around home?
Hey all I’m looking for after run oil alternatives. My fuel apparently contains after run oil but I believe it’s only for short term usage. I’m running sidewinder. I want a after run oil for a longer storage. I checked at my local hobby but they don’t have any after run oil. I heard of marvel mystery oil and wd40 but I heard soemthing about one or both of them ruining seals or soemthing like that. I also dont really want to buy a bottle of marvel if I can use soemthing that I alreayd have around my house (I’m lazy).
So what would you guys recommend or anything I might have laying around the garage? I’m thinking about atleast 1-2 year of storage time
Thanks

I like to use sewing machine oil or a mix of Dexron transmission oil and SeaFoam (10:1 respectively works well as the combination loosens carbon real nicely. 3-in-1 oil or air tool oil works well also; but really, most mineral oils will do. They don’t readily absorb moisture which is the main reason you need to use after run oil.
A good fuel with a decent percentage of castor oil will do a nice job of protecting against rust and corrosion, so after run oil isn’t necessary for short term storage.
