Gee I guess the engine is telling us to practice more.

  If you fly the plane (use the engine) at least monthly... you don't need after run oil ever.

  The problem is... when you plan to fly the plane within a couple of weeks, then life gets in the way and the engine sits unused for several months without the after run oil...  The residual fuel (which is not a problem short term) gums up, the bearings rust.... and you may end up with a paperweight.

     Same here just the DR. says, 6 years without problems, well bearing every couple of years.

      I have been running Cool Power 20% Problend for years in the OS 1.4 with the EFI bearing.  When I land after my last flight, I empty the tank with my fuel pump, clean the airplane, put it in the car.  The next flying session, I take the plane out of the car, fly.  After the last flight, I empty the tank with the fuel pump, clean the airplane, put it in car.  This  goes on year round.  No castor, no after run, etc, etc.

        I have been using Cool Power synthetic and add 1-1/2 ozs.of Klotz  in every gal.  for over 20 years for Rossi's. YS 2C and 4C.  And I always run my engine dry at the end of the day, and lube w/ Mobil 1 synthetic. I live in Fl. and in the summer it get's very hot,but the engines run great and the bearing last much longer.
