Mind you: for lubrication it is not strictly necessary. Any decent sythetic oil will do the job.
The reason for castor is its tendency to create teflon-like deposits on the hottest parts, which will be the running surface of the piston and liner. This will basically "replace" the pistonring that these engines do not have.
