1M2

the best after run care is dont run your engine out of fuel , just dump the tank
hey bud I always thought that running the fuel from your engine would be the best like to get all the nitro and meth out ?

I've used this stuff for years and I have never had an engine issue even after an engine sits for a few years. One bottle will last forever. I started using it after realizing that the Hobbico after-run oil I was using was the same thing. Same color, smell, everything!

Default Have no need for after run oil...

I have personally found that when using a top quality fuel and not letting the engine run out of fuel as Houston suggested leaves behind a great coating of oil. I just pulled my Nova Plus 4 out that has been in storage for 6 months and it is perfect inside with no use of after run oil.

I currently use a locally sourced fuel called Bonz Brew but have found it to be one of the highest quality fuels money can buy. Great lube package and have found zero corrosion in my motors since switching.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Keep your engines in the house, in a controlled environment and you greatly reduce the chance of condensation forming in your engine. That along with quality fuel, will go a long way. I oil with synthetic atf if my engines are going to be sitting a month or more. It works for me....

Be careful with Marvel Mystery Oil if your cranks have silicone ramps. It is my understanding that MMO will break down the silicone. I used MMO for years until I read about this.

I have always, and I mean ALWAYS used RP7 or WD-40 and I have never had any trouble BUT I have always been fully aware that the engines I use it on have not had filled cranks. If they did, I would use a specific after run oil.

With the engines I never have any grief starting them and I have tried machine oils and other oils but nothing seems to turn over quite as easily as an engine that's had RP7 or WD40 put through it after last use.

Just my two cents
