DO NOT use Risolene, Marvel Mystery, Auto Trans Fluid etc.. These can cause many problems with some motors, they can swell or destroy seals ans O Rings, Kill some plastics, and they do not protect as well as proper After run oils.
Good quality after run oil is easy to get; don’t skip this step. If you can’t find a good after run at your local hobby shop, there are many available that are made by several companies…then try Prather’s. They make a good one and so does RJL , Marvel and Aero Products. Do not use motor oil, Marvel Mystery oil; this is not after run oil.
Marvel makes excellent oil that can be used and as an after run oil and it is available from most auto parts stores and is called Marvel Air Tool oil. As a matter of fact, most air tool oils can be used as an after run oil; they are designed to fight corrosion in metal air tools and this is exactly what we are looking for. Another good place to get these types of oils are the large home supply stores like Home Depots and Builders Square type stores. Look in the department where they carry air compressor and paint guns. There are many brands of these oils so you see you have no excuse not to use them.
If you want long term storage first flush the engine out with Methanol or WD 40, others use Naptha, the put 5 to 8 drops in the intake, flip over a dozen or so times, repeat, the put several drops in the exhaust, flip over a few times, plug the intake and exhaust with paper towel plugs. the wrap in a dry or oiled cloth, put into zip lock baggie
