    Benol in oil injection?

    Just bought my first jug of Benol (bean oil) for my Water Buffalo, but noticed it has a big warning on it that says “pre mix only - not for oil injection systems”. What’s up with that? Is there a reason you can’t use it in an injected system? I’m living the life of luxury over here with my oil injection…ain’t tryna pre-mix!

    If it’s like the old Castrol R it gums up over time. Even premix if it used right away had to be tossed out.

    How much time are we talking about? I go through the stuff pretty quickly.

    Not sure but the old stuff like Castrol R gummed up quick and probably would cause an issue with the oil injection. Not sure about this stuff to be honest. But usually it was a gumming up problem that was bad for any small passages.

    Thanks. I guess I’ll save it for something else!
