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.

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)

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

Happy Landings!

Where did you get that "5 degrees hotter" idea. Because it's not correct.
You are absolutely 100% correct, the difference is 100 degrees, not five! Not sure where my brain was when I wrote that. Thanks for bringing the error to my attention!

Happy Landings!
