Which oil?

[Fstnd378]

I already bought a 2 stroke oil that actually isn't supposed to be used in rc engines, so I'm just asking so i don't make the same fault again: which of these oils would be the best? These are the best oils which are available for me:i've heard someone ran motul 800, but that was in a forum where he had problems.

Edit: second fuel-related question: i have no airfilter-oil right now, so would the "liqui moly mtx" be a good option?

Another edit: maybe it's fine to oil the airfilter with 2-stroke oil? I heard some people do it

The search function here would help you find what your asking.

Thanks, I found a positive opinion about the motul 800, so that's probably what i will mix my gas with. When i searched about the airfilter-oil, everyone had random preferences which definetely aren't available in holland. So is there a good airfilter-oil from the pics or can i just oil the filter with motul 800?

i think you will get some good answers if you ask on facebook

 

[Rep732]

Glad you found something. Motul in general has been a positive experience with users and I use motul micro 2t oil. Any good tacky air filter oil will work.

@RcJunkie13 are you phasing lsf out with that answer?

motul 800 is great. and for the air filter you can use this motul spray .. I use it.

It's a joke (because he will get 700 different answers and an argument on facebook)

Ahh yea, went over my head. Facebook is a mine field I see. Just came back to it after 10 years and it's a mess.

Any fd rated air cooled oil, or something for dirtbikes etc will work fine. I'm currently running redmax oil.
Air filter oil needs to be made for foam filters. Something tacky. I'm not a brand snob, ironically I'm currently using an fd branded motul filter oil. It was on sale when I needed more.

Should i go for the "liqui moly mtx" as a airfilter-oil? It doesn't show on the picture, but underneath the liqui moly it says "carbureteur reiniger" which translates to carb cleaner.

Thanks for all the answers

Edit: wait nvm this question, i found a motul airfilter spray available!

 

[Seandonato73]

I prefer the non spray version of filter oils, but so long as it's made for foam filters the brand doesn't really matter.

 

[Rep732]

I agree with Sean I didn't like how the spray oil failed to tack up.

I personally like running castor bean oil for the extra protection/lubrication at high temperatures and RPMs.
Although I'd recommend you keep it under 50% bean oil, otherwise I've noticed plugs fouling faster.

Kolts super techniplate with PJ1 filter oil.
(It also smells really good)

Thanks guys. So I ended up buying the motul A2 spray, and motul 800 2-stroke oil. I just finished oiling the foameverything is assembled now. Just one more question is it bad for the outer filter foam to touch the fuel cable of the car?this is how the filter looks like now:

 

[Seandonato73]

I oil everything, personal preference though.

nah if you oil the outside the dirt sticks on it really fast and clogs easily

I usually run in dirt and grass so yeah. I do have a outside cover

That's what the outerwear is for.... ever get an genuine hpi filter? They come pre oiled, the both foams.
