RE: Castor oil
Hi downunder
Thanks for an excellent explanation. I knew there was more to it but being long retired I did not have access to the facts, not could I remember some of the finer points.

Where did you get that "5 degrees hotter" idea. Because it's not correct.

Yea, it allows you to run your engine 5 degrees hotter before it seizes! Other than minimal thermal protection there are no other advantages.

I like castor cause it holds up better your synthetic oil will break down before castor ever does
Some engines very specificly say to break in on all castor (20% oil)
