Hi Guy's

I have been using Medium Viscosity cool power for 1-2 Years now.
I have been very happy with it.

Recently I went to the hobby shop and they said they no longer supply it.

What Oil are you guy's using and why?

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.

Multi-Viscosity means you get the best of both worlds; great lubricity, clean burning and complete protection.

Once again, What Oil are you guy's using and why?

First up, I'm just very new to this Nitro fuel game!!

That sounds like a lot of oil! Does your heli get really messy after a days flying?

Isn't 20% - 23% well and truly enough? Depending on Nitromethane quantity.

30% is the nitro percentage. 20 or 22% oil depending on which blend and oil.

The plank fuels tend to be slighlty lower (abot 3% lower) oil.

Lower nitro blends tend to be the same for planks and helis.

I am sure there is more that 24 users of oil in this forum.

Come on guy's please poll the oil you are using.
