Most commercial brands use a mixture of synthetic oil and castor oil (not Castor Oil the motor oil but from the castor plant). Do not use regular car motor oil! You'll want synthetic oil specifically for two-strokes. Usually a 50/50 mix of synthetic/castor for the oil content is recommended.

Here's a known good mix to use as a guideline for starting out:

1 gallon of 20%/12% nitro/oil fuel
nitro - 25.6oz
oil - 15.4oz
methanol - 87oz

The motor oil is Castrol, not castor.

Sounds to me like you'd be better off buying a premixed fuel IMO.

Heh, you're right. That's what I get for trying to make a coherent post at 2am
