oil choice for mixing - Chuck Lipka - 03-12-2019

I've used the last of my Redline Synthetic.    What's the "best"/most used alternative?
Blendzal green label....... (#460) on a near empty bottle I have, or Burris (I think) in a
black bottle with a gray and red label.  And to further the confusion, the Burris stuff is
offered in a castor/synthetic blend or straight castor.    The oil is to be used with both
alky and gasoline.  Fresh built West Bends, (2 of them are Bonbright built), Tillotson carbs.

I use only alky/Blendzall 460 Green Label. Last stuck an engine in the late seventies, but not with Blendzall. Messy, but effective. TJ
