278 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 Ok so I chose to run castor 927 in my shee, however there is a problem with this... It says that race fuels or AV gas with a specific gravity of .795 or lower may seperate from the oil at below 35F degrees. I live in Alaska our average temp for the winter is about 20-25F degrees, but we can reach temps as low as -30ish and I won't always be able to park my shee in a heated garage... I know it's not recomended to switch oils because one oil maybe be thicker than the other and cause lube problems, I havn't yet ran it through the motor just lube the crank bearings and cylinder walls with the Castor 927, so can I switch to another oil and be safe if so what is recomended, or what fuel do you recomend because I'll be running race gas unless I drop dome sizes?
