Is it a special formula or am I paying 100x the price of 2 stroke?

Put another way, can I safely use a few drops of s stroke oil instead of
after run?

Cheers.

First I've heard of using ATF. Thanks!

My father has been into RC aircraft for as far back as I can remember
and he has always used MMO. Have never heard him complain about corrosion
problems. I was kind of surprised that the instructional DVD that came
with my new T-Maxx (see my prior post here) recommended WD-40. For short
periods and chasing away moisture WD-40 is OK. For long periods it has to
be the worst thing available, it turns to a real sticky difficult to remove
gooy funk over time. I suppose for a total neophyte WD-40 is better than
nothing at all, but still, on an instructional video when after run oils
are available at hobby shops? <shudder>

Now for a hard question. :)

Dextron, Type F, or Mercon?
