Default YS 160 DZ fuel question

Chip:
I know that you are a tester for Ys engines and that you used this engine. I ´ve just bought one from centralhobbies and the problem is that here in my country Chile there´s only Wildcat helimix 30% nitro 18% medium viscosity oil. I´ve read several post about the fuel in the DZ´s that say that you must use only LV oil in the fuels with at lest 20% oil. My question is:
Wild this fuel damage my engine due the little low oil and viscosity content? Have you any experience with this fuel or have you heard something about it ? Wich fuel have you used in the DZ´s?
Any help will be appreciate!!!!

Thanks a lot

No it will not damage anything if the ingredients in the fuel are good, which i believe they are.

Hi chip,

would you however recommend adding a little more oil to this fuel just the be on the safe side? I am considering doing this to my 4 gals of wildcat i have.

Thanks, and great flying by the way!
