Default RE: COOL POWER OR OMEGA

that's not your words, tut tut.Castor's wonderful polymerisation at temp also creates deposits or varnish in an engine. Those deposits affect the engines running through hot spots. Also rolling bearings were not designed to work with oils that become physically more viscous as heat is added. At a point the rollers no longer roll, they slide, increasing wear. Fine in a busted engine where castor is fine. Most modern engines want to be clean and use rolling bearings. Castor is archaic for these engines.Not please respond with your own thoughts not the very correct observations of a fellow petroleum engineer.
