If so , the pros run a couple of tanks using a synthetic based lubricant
to clean the castor.

I saw it on another thread somewhere but i dont remember.

I use Omega with extra castor in my Moki 2.10 and the best stuff yet I've found for cleaning is Simple Green Automotive (NOT the household Simple Green). It really cuts the greasy film that castor leaves better than any other spray-on cleaner I've found. It smells nice, leaves no film, and you can get it at any auto store.
