Hello Everyone,
On Jul 25 1997 Lyman Slack posted in reply to someone else,
You sure are making your life complicated! Engine guru Clarence Lee notes that as an after run oil, MARVEL AIR TOOL OIL is all you need. Period. He assumes you also run out the fuel in your engine after your last flight.He does recommend, however, that for prolonged storage, you pickle the engine in a 50/50 mix of MATO and ATF (auto transmission fluid).
After reading the whole thread, it sounds like good advice. My question is; Does it have to be Marvel brand Air Tool Oil ? AutoZone has Campbell Hausfeld ST1270 Air Tool Oil.
It is , Specially formulated with rust inhibitors, anti foaming and anti gumming additives to maximize tool performance.. Not designed for use in air compressors.
Is there something mystical about Marvel, or will other Air Tool Oils work as well ?
Any thoughts, or advice will be Greatly Appreciated,
