Hi Rusty, Why people think that MMO is solution for everything? 
 
I agree that it sounds like snake oil.  The problem is that it's been around forever, and with excellent results.     
 
2 cycle oil was designed to be used just for our purpose. 
 
To my knowledge, 2-cycle oil was never intended to lubricate apex seals.  I'd be willing to bet that any 2-cycle oil manufacturer would publicly state that their product is NOT for use in rotary engines :-)  
  
  I know you’ll make faces when I mention PL  
 
You're right, and for good reason.
 
Seriously, Tracy has used this stuff for more hours than anyone has used 2-stroke oil.  Heck, I believe Finn uses it too, and he just hit 500 hours.  Can't recall what Ed uses.  The stuff works, and it's impossible to argue with that. 
 
Cheers,
Rusty (waiting for GOOD MRI parts, to take the place of the BAD parts I got today... I love my job...)
