while cleaning out the shop, i can across a full pt. of Sig LUBICIN N-I,or ! .also a qt. of KIOTZ SPECIAL FORMULA LUBRICANT dose anyone have any information on either one of these ??

don't use more than 1 ounce per gallon of fuel with the Lubricin, and do NOT use it in castor fuels. It flecks castor very badly.

Randy, i believe it was used mainly in F2C in diesels which had all caster at that time .maybe the lack of nitro or methanol was the diff

NO it was made for , and sold, for any model engine, but it doesn;t matter it WILL fleck castor in any fuel, diesel or not, and is way worse as it gets colder,
It is a cleaning detergent additive mainly

I also have a can of LUBRICIN N-1. I figure if they don't make it anymore...there's a reason.
I think someone posted years ago that it rusted their engine. Makes sense. I f it's a detergent that it might remove the protective castor. That may have been before after-run oils came into use and perhaps they used too much.

Side effects aside, it also doesn't seem to do anything useful, either! It certainly didn't do any useful cleaning that I could tell.
edit- On further thought, I wonder if it contains xylene or something similar. The precipitate/flecks look an awful lot like the stuff that comes in Red Max castor oil and I attributed that to the xylene that I found when I had it analyzed. I assumed it was due to using xylene to extract more oil from the beans, but maybe some of Red Max's renown "oil experts" had the bright idea of spiking their supply with Lubricin - after which they had the flakes in the bottom forever after.
