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 Maxima Racing Oils I ProFilter 9266 Abraham Way, Santee, CA 92071 USA "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... |
