Re: [FlyRotary] Re: how do you carry, and measure oil?
 

I know you'll make faces when I mention PL but he cooked few different samples in the oven to see which oil left the least sludge residue when burned, and the 2 cycle oil was the best as I remember it.
 
Why would he even bother with this test? A household oven breaker is sized for 40 amps so take this as max, times 240 volts gives 9600 watts or a 12.8hp oven. A stock second gen Mazda (or any gen for that matter) looks like rocket science compared to this toy. Clearly any good rocket scientist would reject these findings and declare the test invalid before even attempting.

Don't be too quick to reject PLs' results.  I must agree with them. Only a fool would use MMO in his oven.
 
But FWIW, I use a 50/50 mixture of any good TCW-3 oil and MMO in my fuel.  The MMO was selected for it's ability to keep seals from sticking in their grooves.  I have no idea what ingredient  is responsible.
