Can i mix castrol oil

The Castrol Mineral I have at the moment has mixed ok in a test bottle and has not changed consistency or reacted in days now. Saddletramp Custom MB Buiilder. May 7, 1, 74 48 Houston, Texas. I don't know if it's true. Nov 7, 5 0 0 Amherst MA.

I wonder whether it might increase power to have some strong build up on top of the piston, since compression ratio for these engines is about only. Would be great to figure out how to get it up to a decent , without having to for example weld extra material on top of the cylinder people have done that since there's not much material to remove from the head to increase compression. Probably leaving the build up on the piston crown will help compression????

By the way, I'm new in the forum, Hello to all of you guys! Nov 13, 44 0 0 Hawthorne CA. Hello all! On my first tank used Walmart Super tech 2 stroke at but the plug quickly became caked in carbon although the bike ran and did not foul. Second tank switched to Maxima Castor at Noticed a smoother engine almost immediately.

Plug comes out a nice dark tan. I love the smell. Read somewhere Castor mixed with even a small amount of "Dino" oil will cause problems, but article never said what problems anybody know the issue with the mixing here? People have been mixing their own oil for years in the RC field. Just a couple thoughts. Most issues with castor oil and mixing are from fuel containing ethanol It causes stringers and weird junk in the combustion chamber. The thing is, Castrol R20 is not straight castor Frankly I would get some straight castor oil from SIG or one of the other suppliers and carry on with your testing Last edited: Nov 13, Very interesting thoughts people.

On the comment about build up boosting compression: I have gained compression by getting rid of the bottom gasket and using a high temp silicone gasket goo instead. The piston is a close as is comfortable to the head gasket and I have not had any problems so far after hundreds of kilometers and steep hills. How about milling a few s of an inch of the top of the jug where it meets the head. I guess you gotta be careful about not taking off too much, it may interfere with plug or the head gasket.

Yeah that would work just as well, actually it is superior but I don't have the tools to do that. MYTH: When motor oil becomes dark, that means it's time to change it.

Yes, you will be fine so along as the viscosity grade of the two oils are the same e. Never mix 5W and say There is no problem with mixing oils , either mixing viscosities or brands , or synthetics with mineral. It is done all the time. Does mixing oil brands matter? There is no problem with mixing oils, either mixing viscosities or brands, or synthetics with mineral.

What is the best synthetic oil? Can I mixing Pennzoil and Mobil 1? If you're going to mix Mobil 1 and Pennzoil it's no different than mixing Mobil 1 and Drive Clean and Pennzoil is a better dino. Can you mix Mobil 1 with Castrol? No, you can't mix these two. Keep doing it. Are all full synthetic oils the same? Synthetic oil is better than conventional oil, if you buy a good brand name, and the right grade of oil for the application.

But no, all synthetic oils are not the same. And even for the same specification, some companies manufacture a better quality synthetic oil than other companies. Can I top off oil with different brand? Ideally, same brand should be used for top off. But all oils are compatible with others, there is no negative in topping off with another brand. Castrol Edge is an excellent choice for those who want the best for their engine.

The synthetic oil comes with superior additives that offer enhanced protection. The oil provides a stable film of protection around the moving engine parts. The film minimizes metal to metal contact, which reduces wear and tear. If you are looking for better preservation qualities, Mobil 1 is generally a better choice than the Castrol Edge.

Castrol Edge is good for high temperatures but also good in cold weather too. It offers superior protection and performance in all conditions. In contrast, Castrol GTX provides the best performance in cold weather and one of the best oils for cold weather that helps to improve fuel economy.
