What oil are you using for nic motors?

[pappa pete]

I know it's old news but penzoil full synthetic isn't available anymore so, I'm going back to a 260 and it's hard to find merc full synthetic, what's the go too oil now days that wont break the bank. Lol

I am sticking with Mercury Premium Plus. I would like to run Redline, but it's to expensive for me.

I know of a few 260s, 280s, and drags that run klotz r50, merc PwC full syn, castor 927, and royal purple. Just what comes to mind

Amsoil hp. Been using in my promax and 2.4 nic motor for years

Merc full synthetic is easy to find here, sometimes it's more difficult to find the Merc dino that I prefer for my steel motors. I would probably feel ok using the OMC (ok, BRP) full synthetic...

Mercury racing 2 stroke oil, Redline or Klotz.

Check out a Rural King they have Amsoil oil of all kinds including the marine stuff . At least at the Ocala store they even carry some of the Euro oils for Diesel AUDI/VW Oil I could not find anywhere else.VW needs the good stuff for this 32 DW wide body.

I always ran Klotz R50 in my Bridgeport. Never had any issues.

Wellllll , I tore down a race engine I build for a customer in Idaho he is VERY successful, he breaks in on fully petrolium which building these for 25 years I’m successful with , then I switch them to Red Line @ 32:1 , after tearing this motor down I found it to be IMO to dry , I confirmed with the customer was he mixing the oil heavy enough ? He assured me yes ?? I found all con rod bearings dry and bores on the verge of skuffing , I had conversation with a guy I have total confidence in , I am now instructing after break in to move to a pennzoil blend at 28:1 either the Prem.Plus or XLF , I observed a set of bores that had a ton of hours at 11,000 rpms and after a light ceramic ball home and plateau brush looked great , I’m convinced , thanks for your help Mitch !!!

I do suggest to all my steel sleeve motors after break in go to the Penn. XLF @ 40:1 with 100% success for many years , free country run whatcha please all I can do is report what’s working for me and my valued customers ... Stay Safe !!

Jay, After our conversation last year, I switched to Redline @ 40;1 in my ROS 280 because of cruising and occasional 8000 rpm speed runs. The carbon build up on the piston tops disappeared and the motor runs so much nicer.
In this operating scenero , would you suggest a change?

Im a fan of the Redline, I do get what Jay is saying. The motors are not dripping with oil but I have not seen what I would call dry (amsoil).

[Jay Smith]

If your having good luck with any product it’s a crap shoot to change , I was a Red Line cheerleader , might be the fuels he’s running bunch of of compression and rpms , I just had large concern with what I observed so on this engine I went another way , I wanna check a leakdown after this hone and ring change ...

On your Alaska 280 might go to 32:1 in your 280 , can’t hurt .

Not a NIC, but I’ve been running it in steel sleeve motors at 32:1 regularly turning between 7 and 8k with very good success. Engines also very clean on tear downs. Only thing I don’t care about is smell, but otherwise very pleased.
