From what model sport are selling i'd be tempted to go for the ModelTechnics stuff
If its anything like there fuel - it'll be nice and oily - good for what for what ARO is

its 3.49 for 250ml or 500ml for £6
Meaning its only 83pence per 50ml's
Which is bucket load cheap really when it comes to the others

I've always used Tornado ARO (red stuff) but i've had the model on a shelf, i dread to know what i'll find....

Another q. Is afterun oil added as soon as I finish a run (while the engine is still hot)? Or  can it be left till I am home?

The thing is - ARO is good to use when its not going to be used for about 48hrs or more
if you have it out everyday, you could possibly get away without it, but for peace of mind, i'd wack a little bit in here and there.....

You can add it when you like
Just remember when you do ARO, turn it over by hand a few times

Remember to leave piston BDC when cooling to help give a longer engine life
