Who makes the oil for CPS? I got some so I will share info. Maxima racing oil. So far seems like good stuff, and I get it at Aircraft Spruce.

I thought I had forwarded this to you guys...I will try to post it now...
my trials and tribulations of finding a suitable oil here in
Guam led me to Maxima oils....
This is an email from their lead tech guy..VERY INTERESTING!
"Hi Ben,

Since we manufacture oils for aviation use I can safely recommend an oil to you. J

Our Formula K2 is a 100% synthetic premix only oil that would compete with the Amsoil Dominator 2-cycle oil. The Formula K2 utilizes a low ash additive package which is great for land use but is not optimal for aviation use. Ash is a lubricant but when operated at sustained RPMs for extended intervals the ash can promote spark plug failures.

We also make the AV-2 oil for Aircraft Spruce http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/e ... ionoil.php which is a 50% ester synthetic / 50% mineral oil blend. This oil is identical to our Premium 2…just relabeled for its intended use. The AV-2 (Premium 2) has been used for applications such as yours for over 15 years without issue.

In looking at the MSDS sheets for the Premium 2 and the Interceptor, the Premium 2 actually has a higher ester synthetic treat % (25-35% vs. 10-30%). Also, the Premium 2 utilizes an ashless additive system which virtually eliminates spark plug failures. This is a critical property when you are operating at altitude! I could not find any information in regards to what DI package Amsoil is utilizing in their Interceptor oil. My assumption is that it contains a low ash additive package? That said, the Premium 2 is the oil that I would recommend for your Nirvana Rodeo Paramotor.

Let me know if you have any more questions and thank you for choosing Maxima!


Sincerely,

Tim Schaeffer

"Just Relabeld"!!!! its also way cheaper!!!!
I would add that many of the oil manufacturers I contacted we complete fucking pussies. Royal Purple will NEVER see a penny of my business for there PC and lame ass lawyer speak while never answering my technical questions about their product!

I flew for 30 min yesterday and the Premium Oil from Maxima seems to be everything I was looking for....

Straight from the horses mouth too!
The email string was pretty funny, after Royal Purple pissed me off my letter to Maxima was amusing...."blah blah blah its dangerous and i eat fried foods too...."

One thing about the Maxima that is different from the Amsoil in a good way is its colored...slightly reddish pink when mixed.
The Amsoil was almost clear, it made checking fuel in flight very tough...
