Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / February 2008after run oil
I notice Aldi is selling 1 litre Air compressor oil, and 1 litre Air line lubricating oil for £3.49 each. Is this the same stuff as often recommended for after run oil for IC engines? Our friends across the pond refer to "Marvel air compressor oil" or sumsuch Trefor I've used plain old automatic trans fluid for years, with nary a problem... > I notice Aldi is selling 1 litre Air compressor oil, and 1 litre Air line > lubricating oil for £3.49 each.

And if so, what do you thin it with please? Thanks Trefor > I've used plain old automatic trans fluid for years, with nary a > problem... Right out of the bottle, just as it is....it's pretty thin to begin with. Generally I just fill a small squeeze bottle with it rather than lug a quart bottle around. > Do you use it straight, or do you thin it? And if so, what do you thin it > with please?

Lee, the engine Guru, recommends a 50/50 mix of transmission fluid and air tool oil be used for storage of engines -- using air tool oil as a after-run. Cheers again -- Lyman > I've used plain old automatic trans fluid for years, with nary a > problem... Trefor -- The after-run oft recommended here in the Colonies is "Marvel Air Tool Oil" -- it's basically Marvel Mystery Oil with an anti-rusting agent added. If the product you mentioned is for use in tools that are powered by compressed air, then I'd fell it safe to say it would be OK for our model engines.
