I got some 'Super Lubricating Oil' from just engins. Has anyone got any experience with this oil. Mix is 150:1, I tried it for one flight in my Zenoha 62, it seemed really good and clean but I then chickened out and went back to the old mix. Any opinions?

Stuart, This Very,very expensive oil was developed for Fuji-Imvac engines and they require a special running in procedure.

This oil can be mixed with gasoline at much higher ratios than other engine oils which allows the engine to develop more horsepower and last longer. It is recommended that you use Fuji-Imvac Engines oil with all your Fuji-Imvac engines. Break-in procedures are slightly different than those when using standard oils. Please refer to the table belowfor oil contents.

with 50:1 (2%) oil content ratio. · Break-in (Stage 2): 1 gallon of gasoline with
100:1 (1%) oil content ratio. · Normal running: In un-cowled or well-cooled installations
150:1 (0.65%) oilcontent ratio. · In-cowled or not-so-good cooling installations 100:1 (1%) oil content ratio.
· Do not try to use these engine oil ratios with any other brand of oil other than the Fuji-Imvac Engines oil. ·

If you have been running the engine on other oil and wish to switch to Fuji-Imvacoil, follow the break-in procedure for Fuji-Imvac Engines oil.
If Fuji-Imvac Engines oil is not available, or if you prefer to use a different brand of oil, use the standard fuel/oil ratios as shown below.
Never experiment with cheap oil or with obscure brand names.
Be certain to select only high-quality oil that is
intended for use in gasoline R/C model airplane engines.
· Break-in: 1 gallon of gasoline with 25:1 (4%) oil content ratio.

Good thing that you stopped using it.

Thanks for the info. I think I will stick to my usual oil mix.
