BlueMax Oil

[Geoff_H]

Blue Max oil is a premium oil recommended for Two Stroke engines, Hirth engines in particular, from Hirth website:

 

"Typical benefits you can expect when using BlueMax 100:1 oil:

 

• Less smoke
   
   
  
• Ratios to 100:1
   
   
  
• Less oily mess from the exhaust system
   
   
  
• Engine life increased
   
   
  
• 100% mineral based,none of the unfavorable attributes of synthetic oil, no solvents added as in 50:1 oils
   
   
  
• Less carbon build up than 50:1 oils"
   
   
  

 

 

So you use less oil. It is expensive, I have not investigated the shipping costs of oil but I expect that they would be expensive too. I guess that it would be over $25/litre plus GST and that is with very little profit margin for the effort. I personally believe that it is not worth the effort. Anyone got any thoughts on this?

Never heard of this, but you can't go wrong using Oil recommended by the Engine Msnufacturer.

Is it suitable with engines with a pump? 100/1 isn't much oil. I've used Valvoline Racing two stroke which is mineral based, and know of plenty of others who have used it , with no problems. PENNZOIL USA have an oil they are game to recommend for aircraft, having gone to the trouble of developing and testing it for that specific use. Nev
