AussiePilot:
I would suggest you consider using KL-100 instead of the KL-200. The KL-100 has 20% Klotz Benol racing castor in it. I run 18% total oil, of which 14.4% is synthetic and 3.6% is castor. I personally run 15% nitro, which I have readily available here in the states in 5-gallon pails and 30-gallon barrels. I DO run this fuel in my 4-strokes. I recommend 2% castor in these 4-stroke engines, and no more than 4% to keep from gumming it up a bit. For your 2-strokes, you can use this fuel at 5% nitro fine, and NOT have to add another Cruel Power fuel to it for the castor content. IF you like, you can add 5 ounces of AA castor in the summer there for additional protection in the higher heat (2-strokes only) Also, Benol castor has a higher film strength than regular AA castor, and therefore, will stay on the crank for better lube on the bottom end. I am a Klotz dealer and have been mixing my own fuel since I was 12 years old and in competitive rat racing and combat control line. . You are using the original Techniplate, and the oil with the Benol in it is about the same price, so use the on with the Benol racing castor in it. It is 20% by volume Benol racing castor and 80% original Techniplate.

The bottom line is that if it's working for you then it's working for you.

I'd use Benol rather than CoolPower's Castor. The Klotz product is reputedly better than CoolPower's

As for the synthetic component well I believe there is now an Australian importer for Cooper's advanced synthetic oils and I'd say that's got to be a whole lot better than the Klotz or CoolPower options.

If you go for Coopers you could make the same blend I run which is 10% Coopers synthetic, 2% castor and 5% nitro. There's just no comparison with the other US lubes performance wise and after two years of running this blend nobody in our club has yet to experience a lube-related engine failure (or any kind of engine failure come to think of it).

All they got is the 200 and no one else stocks it, Its like gold around here Hard to get....
So for the abc motors this oild should be fine? as long as i got some castor in there
