Yes, I noticed that. I used run 70 to 80 wt HPI oil in my car. I just switched to HPI molded pistons with really tiny holes, so I can run some where around 40 - 50 wt. I have the entire range of HPI oil, so it would be quite costly for me to switch to another brand.

Any chance Hiro may have the conversion between HPI oil and AE / Losi, or the CST equivalents?
