It seems the world is conspiring against glow engines! I live in Ontario Canada and the hobby store I frequent has slowly stopped selling rc aircraft glow engines. Electric is becoming the rage. They still sell glow engine fuel for persons still using glow powered engines. It would be logical that there would still be after run oil for engine storage after flying season is over. No longer available! Discontinued! My question is is there a substitute oil that won't damage rubber o rings? Anyone have a suggestion for a substitute oil that safe?

most any non petroleum based lubricant would work.

think silcone oil, like used in r/c car shocks, and full scale motorcycles.

Marvel Mystery Oil. Available at auto parts store. I’ve been using it since 1983. Do not use with YS engines or engines with silicone seals or diaphragms.

Clarence Lee, the engine guru, always recommended Marvel Mystery Air Tool oil. Have used it for years and never had any problems.
