After run Oil

[Bill Thompson]

Terry
What you just said is what I have been doing since the late 80's. I asked the question because three or four people told me that I am killing my engine's. I replaced my bearings after over 200 flights no rust and just like you said it was to make me feel better. I am running 25% Cool Power synthetic. Thanks for your help.

  Hi Bill,
          You will get a wide range of opinions on this. The main difference will be whether or not to use any, and if not, whether or not to run the engine dry. 
           I never use after run, however, performance specialties sell an after run that will not harm the internals of the engine. DO NOT USE A PETROLEUM BASED PRODUCT OF ANY KIND.
           I run Cool Power heli fuel and run the engine dry after flying. I never have replaced bearings because of need. I have replaced the bearings just to "make me feel better" but they seemed fine. When I rebuild a YS, the inside is full of oil, even though I run it dry after flying. When running it dry, only the part of the fuel that burn will run out, leaving a good bit of oil still in the engine.
   
            Hope this helps get the thread started, good luck, Terry
