just my opinion. Sounds kinda scetchy to me. I just use air filter oil thats like 12.95 at my local dirt bike store, when i used to race we used it and now i use it on my rc and it will last me for many many many years.

I race alot, hardly ever use the stuff, It may come in handy if you need to store a mill for months, I do use it if, I park a broke in mill, seems to be worth it, I get 8-10 gallons on a race engine, sometimes more, I have a GRP .21 that I began racing in Feburary of 2008, still running fine, it may have seen afterun oil once, I will be running this mill again this weekend. It currently has a screwed up clutch bell, cause my mounts came loose in the main(My stupid neglect) It has seen alot of fuel, Byrons gen II, Sidwinder, Torco, and White Lightning, still motering on, race on the Weekend, no fuel run out, no oil, fires up on demand.

As for air filters, you are correct that the thicker oils will attract more dust around the outside, but they will also better keep the fine dirt particles out. Solution to them loading up with dirt is to change your filter often. I use pre-oiled losi filters and change them often. Even the oil losi uses is a bit thin for an air filter oil IMO. And with that said, I would never put even that in my engine. Too thick.
Other wise known as Synthetic water washable air filter fluid

i run my engine. probably 2-3 times a week i never using it. but i will use during the winter. When you use it in the winter do you just use it once and call it good for the winter?

i think hobbico is not safe for silicone weighed cranks.
