after burn oil

[insutama]

Do you have to use the actual after burn oil bought at LHS or will normal mulipurpose oil like wd-40 or engine ooil ?

I do not know about those, but I hear that Marvil Mystery Oil will do the trick.

Why does everyone make a big deal out of using after run oil? Its like 7 bucks... It will last forever...

I have been using a all purpose penatrating oil like wd-40 because i havent been able to make it to the LHS just wonding if this will be doing my engine any harm ?

By the way, I use ARO in my rig and nothing else. One little bottle has lasted me through 1 gallon of fuel so far and still plenty to go. It only cost $3 from my LHS.

That's what I have been using and so far so good. No hard starts or funky smells when you first fire up. I use 2 drops on the carb and 2 through the glow plug opening. Turn the mill over twice by hand and set to BDC. $3 a 2oz. bottle at my LHS.

traxxas recommends WD-40!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[h8z2luze]

lol thats not saying much. They also recommend their top fuel for everything.

They only recommend WD-40 because they don't make an ARO and they surely aren't going to pimp another companies products. Which I'm sure is what any of the manufacturers would do.

well I'm gonna go pick up some ABO asap

I've been using WD-40 on my motors and haven't had any issues. It's not because I don't want to spend the money on after-run oil, I just can't remember to get it when I'm at the LHS and I don't go very often (once a month maybe). I'm usually there buying some new goodies for the rig and completely forget to get it.

yeah same deal here last time i went there to get air filter oil and totally forgot after burn oil

The Hobbico ARO is just Marvel Mystery Oil in there own bottle, or at least it smells exactly the same and it's like $4 bucks a quart, so when I run out of the hobbico ARO thats what I will refill the bottle with, it will be like getting 16 botttles of the hobbico for about a dollar more...and I would recommend using ARO when ever you are done running for the day...
