Hello Everyone, Thank you so much for taking your time to read my post and help me
I have just bought a new Rovan, 36cc 360SC Rc Car. The problem I am having is that I don't know what type of oil for it is best and what type of gas. I have been talking on other forums and they have been saying that 91 could damage my engine since it has some ethanol in it, and other have been saying it dosent matter. I live in Los Angeles California so I am unable to get non ethanol gas unless it is for 4 stroke machines which is sold in Home-Depot but is specifically labeled for 4 stroke only. The highest gas Octane I could purchase at my local pump is 87 - 91. Will the 91 really cause any damage towards my engine? The second question I had is what type of oil. I keep hearing that Castrol927 "Premix only" is the best, but I have heard it does a ton of carbon build up resulting is tearing down the engine to clean it. I have been hearing others saying other ones are better but don't know exactly which one is the best oil. Does the oil have to be "Premix Oil" or can I use normal 2 stroke oil? Which oil do you guys think is the best for my machine and what type of gas do you guys think is ok to put in my machine.
I cannot thank you guys enough for helping me ,
