Rajib,
I just called Castrol US national HQ and they said Castrol does not make an oil which is miscible with methanol.
Your best bet is KLOTZ oil.
Best Regards
JC

Rajib

Oh!! No, I bought already 2L Castrol 2T Supreme
KLOTZ is not available in India.
We use natural castor oil which leaves too much sticky things after burn.
Also it is not available always, but 2S oil which we mixed with petrol in 2S bike that is easily available.
So I decided to use this Castrol 2T but now what to do I don't know.
Please give me some advice
Regards,

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM IN BOLIVIA NO KLOTZ OILS, BUT I DO THE SAME WITH SHELL OIL, AND I HAVE GOOD RESULTS, I DO MIX 80% WITH 20% CASTOR BUT MAKE SURE IS DEGUMMED,

The synthetic jet turbine oils (polyol esters) work just fine, but you should use 5 percent castor with 13 to 15 percent synthetic.
Aeroshell and British Petroleum sell these at airports.
Air BP 2380 Oil Turbine Engine & Accessory Oil
BP 2380 Turbo Oil ( formerly ETO2380), available throughout the world, is now being used by over 350 airlines representing a majority of the free world’s commercial airline requirement for 5 cSt turbo oils. This fact attests to the outstanding performance of this product in the wide variety of engines and accessories now in service.

BPTO 2380 is a synthetic oil having a viscosity of 5 centistokes at 210°F that is approved against US military specification MIL-PRF-23699F-STD, DEF STAN 91-101/2* (DERD 2499), and meets the requirements of most jet engines and associated accessories. It is a Type II oil which provides a more balanced combination of thermal and oxidation stability, load-carrying capacity, lower volatility and low temperature flow characteristics than other 5 cSt jet engine oils. These features provide long trouble-free performance under most conditions. Synthetic oils of this type are not all identical. The performance advantages of BPTO 2380 are achieved by careful selection and balance of basestocks and additives to provide the desired performance

What they really meant was they don't import it. Castrol makes Castrol M castor which is readily available in Australia and several other countries. I've been using it exclusively for over 50 years and currently I'm getting it for $8/litre (near enough US$6.50/quart). Virtually all of the world's supply of castor comes from India but I don't know if final refining is done by companies like Castrol in the UK.

The only time I ever used a synthetic was with 5 litres of fuel mixed with Mobil Jet Oil II which worked perfectly but the oil cost was more than 3 times the castor.

Rajib,

As Downunder says, Castrol M is straight Castor oil, but would probably run much cleaner and with less residue than natural castor.

If you would prefer a synthetic lubricant Castrol MSSR worked fine for me for many years.

I think Shell racing M is also castor but please check, I may be wrong.

I don't think the other oils would mix with Methanol, but again I maybe wrong.

Good luck,

Hey JC in texas! Ive been sercvhing through the web for the same answere Rajib is looking for!! same issue not any of the brands named here that people usually use are avalible in my country (Ecuador)
in another forum somebody suggested ussing Mobil Jet oil 2.. well as I am a Pilot I talked to the maitenence guy in the hangar near me and he gave me Mobil Jet oil Im attaching a photo of the oil can to see if somebody can help me out.. what about PENZOIL synthetic 2 cycle oil do have that in my country?
any opinions? Rajib did you found a good oil to use?? let me know

Rajib

hello pedroeguiguren,
Yes I found the best synthetic oil from Klotz (www.klotzlube.com)
One guy in India is selling Klotz oil but I think he decided to buy Mercedes car from the profit of this oil.
If you go to www.towerhobbies.com you will see cost of one us quart ORIGINAL TECHNIPLATE or SUPER TECHNIPLATE is just 11.19USD, if you buy from tower then you will get 25% rebate. But the guy in India selling same thing at 24.00USD. If I made fuel myself with this oil and nitromethane then cost of one liter fuels comes almost 15.00USD, I don't think cost of original aviation fuel is also not so expensive. So I just bought one bottle only because I am not so rich man. I was looking for something cheaper but good. But cheap and well both are not possible, everything good cost money. I am still looking for cheaper oil. If anybody have any information please share with all of us.
Thank you.
Regards,
Rajib
