The deal with the low vis oils is that you get higher rpm's
A quote from the Cool Power site . . . . Remember, this is actually an advertisement
"Cool Power MV (multi-viscosity) combines the low viscosity lubricant used in our #1 selling 30% Helicopter fuel and the unmatched ultra–high viscosity base fluid used in our traditional Cool Power.
The viscosity or thickness of the oil package determines how it lubricates. Lower viscosity or thinner lubricants disperse easily into the fuel and offer less fluid friction allowing your engine to run cooler and turn up faster. In contrast High-viscosity or thicker lubricants offer superior plating action (minimizing metal to metal contact) requiring a much lower volume of oil which translates to a higher percentage of combustible material in the fuel mixture.

The Klotz website seems to say that the Techniplate Lite is the same as the Heliglow they have been selling. KL-198 was Heliglow previously. But, now they have a KL-189 listed for Heliglow, but no datasheet. I think they just changed the name, it's been around for a long time.

Have anybody tried to mix the Lite Techniplate or HeliGlo oil with Castor like BeNol?
On Klotz website they say that the BeNol will not mix with all synthetic oils, but they don´t say if it will mix with the Lite Techniplate... I have tried to write a email to them, but have not yet got an reply.

I blend a special Four Cycle Pattern Engine fuel with Heliglow for myself and a friend. Because of it's lighter viscosity, you have to mix 2 to 3% more than say Klotz Techniplate, which is a heavier oil. While you can certainly mix Klotz Benol (the castor we use in our all castor blends) with Heliglo, this thick oil would likely defeat the purpose of the heliglo's light oil properties.
I use the Heliglo lube in a 20% nitro, 22% oil pattern mix that has run in my OS Max 200 and my friends' YS 1.60 and 1.70. We have just started using the blend, and results are quite promising with no differences found in performance when comparing our blend to other commercially available 30% heli fuel my friend had been using heretofore.
One thing to know: Heliglow is quite a bit more expensive than regular Techinplate or Super Techniplate, even when bought in quantity.

I looked at it the other way around, I wanted a synthetic oil with lighter viscosity to compensate for the thicker castor oil.
I run both 2-stroke and 4-stroke, land-based and in the air so I´m leaning towards blending my own fuel again. But to keep it simple I want to be able to use the same components.
I´m going to try out some different oils and take it from there.
Thanks!
