Don't know what happened there but I've noticed a lot of kart oils warn they aren't compatible with alcohol. What does that mean, does that mean they will jell or is that their way of saying alcohol mixed with oil is not a good thing? Are there any oils that advertise they are for use in alcohol motors because I haven't found one yet.

The only problem with that is this is not the 1st I’ve ran Thor in but 1st time had this problem
 
I believe I've seen some retailers warning not to use Thor in alcohol motors but I copied this from their website "Thor Oil can be used in engines using Methanol or Gasoline as fuel". Also "Thor Oil will not mix with petroleum based oils".
 
I've run Thor in my alky motors when I have run out of FHS62R oil (definitely the preferred product and never had any problems at all with either. Even with a lot of fuel mixed in it sure doesn't look like this.
