Silkolene Castorene R40? Anyone tried it?
Anyone tried this? Sounds like it could be good for those of us who want to make our own fuel, and want an blend of castor and synth for the Lube package

Sounds like Klotz Super Techniplate, too.

It seems the agent is in Brisbane but it's $32/litre for the R40S which is about 4 times what we pay for castor. It sounded good until I saw the price and even gas turbine oils are cheaper than that. Last I heard, BP2380 was about $22/litre and Mobil Jet Oil II about $28/litre. I've used the Mobil straight and as a blend while a fellow club member uses the BP2380 as a 10/90 blend of BP/castor in his 4 strokes.

I'm going to try a bottle of it (1 litre). It's not cheap though .. $33.00 AUD a litre [:'(]
I guess it will be similar to the old Castrol R40 and Shell Advance Racing R30, ie good castor, with a little synthetic and some anti-scuff additives thrown in.
