One of the by products of burning nitro fuel in or engines is nitric acid. This is the stuff that causes the green death on piston sleeves, bearings, and rod bushiongs. After run oil is not so much about getting some oil in the engine as using the oil as a medium to carry this nitric acid out of the engine.

maybe the fuel itself already contains some lubricants, but this type of fuel produce oily waste, like gunk, don't you think ?

hey, thanks for the reply,....... what will the oily gunk do to the motor ? if this is oil, don't they inhibit rust ?

Re-read my after run procedure on page one of this thread. It is my opinion that just putting some drops in the carb and or plug hole is better than nothing but still not getting the job done.

I've used nothing but ATF (automatic transmission fluid) for many years as after run oil, and have had no problems. Its available anywhere and does a very good job. And at what? $2 a quart? very inexpensive too.

Ouchh...... $2 is very cheap !!! Good to know, but are you sure ? inside the engine have some silicone seal, do you think the atf oil is silicone friendly ?

It take about 12 -24 hrs for the damage to be done. You need to do 2 things. Flush all the fuel out of the engiine and then nuetralise the acid with an alkaline oil. After run oil is slightly alkaline.
Flush with pure methonol then 4 drops of after run EVERY RACE!!

I use all modifies engines I have 8 total all are very expensive. ATF is or was used by boat racers for many years. They found it to be the only thing that controlled moisture. So I guess no Automatic trannys have anything siliconed based in them?? (silicone seals) ATF is a cleaning fluid, Dennis Richey told me about ATF many years ago. I sorta figured if its good enough for him it should be just fine for me! I guess if you wanted you could mix alittle Marvel Mystery oil with tthe ATF and then you would have After run oil! That's basically all it is. If you get all the old Nitro burnt out of the engine before you use it, it will protect just as well. I have engines that have'nt be ran for over a year. I just ran all the NItro out added after run put the engine in a sealed bag and put it back into the box. You can remove the backplate and theres no rust to be found on any internal parts. So to me ATF works just fine! Companys will say they have this and that additive added to their products, its mainly just a sales pitch, to get you to buy it!
