REAL racing cars used Castor Oil for years. Along with rotary radial
aircraft engines.

Product Description
Castrol provide a range of speciality motor oils designed to meet the
needs of the motoring enthusiast.
Castrol R Series
What are they?
The Castrol R oils are castor-based lubricants containing specially
selected additives to prevent rapid deterioration through oxidation.
Their tenacious affinity for adhesion to metal surfaces, even when
these
surfaces are subjected to extreme temperatures, provide their excellent
anti-seize properties - an important consideration with highly stressed
engines running at peak revolutions.
While Castrol R was primarily designed for the world of motor racing,
because of these unique properties the private enthusiast can also
benefit from their use in their performance machine.
Why use them?
When selecting an engine lubricant for sports cars, modified saloons or
high performance motorcycles, it must not be assumed that a special
oil is always necessary. In the majority of cases, the well-known and
widely available brands of Castrol Formula R Synthetic, TXT or GP50
motor oils are entirely satisfactory for racing. Most modified and
tuned
production vehicles will operate perfectly well on these high
performance lubricants. Castrol R grades have also proved successful
in some competition manual transmission applications where normal 4-
stroke engine oils are recommended.
While it is difficult to define where Castrol R grades would be
preferable
to the use of one of the Castrol Synthetic or fortified mineral oils,
for
racing and high speed rallying Castrol R does provide close to the
ultimate in lubrication. If high performance, coupled with reliability,
is the
aim, then the extremely high film strength of Castrol R will provide a
valuable `margin of safety' at ultra-high engine speeds and
temperatures. The use of Castrol R grades usually results in a distinct
and very pleasant exhaust odour.

Castrol R40
Castor-Based Racing Lubricant
Castrol R 40 is formulated to have a strong affinity to hot surfaces
and provides superior oiliness for racing engines. It also contains
special additives to combat oil thickening.

* Benefits
- Provides a powerful oily film at high engine speeds and
temperatures - for maximum power output
- Excellent load carrying reduces wear even under extreme riding
conditions - for maximum engine protection
- Multifunctional - also provides excellent performance as a
gear oil.

* Application
Castrol R 40 has been especially developed for car and motorcycle
racing and is equally suitable for two-stroke and four-stroke engines.

* When used in four-stroke engines, the oil should be changed
before each race and is intended for continuous use only. Drain
intervals should not exceed 1,600 kilometres. The oil should be drained
out between races and the engine should preferably be replaced by
conventional engine oil before storage. It is recommended that the
engine be drained and flushed before Castrol R 40 is refilled and used.

* Castrol R 40 is also applicable in two-stroke engines for pre-mix
lubrication at the fuel / oil ratio recommended by the engine
manufacturer. Two-stroke engines should be stripped and cleaned after
each use.

* Performance Levels
There is no internationally recognized performance level standard
for specialized racing lubricants such as Castrol R 40. Proven on the
track.



Castrol today is a brand name and has nothing to do with Castor
Oil....except Castrol R, which is castor oil. Note you have to
personally import it because Americans are too stupid to refrain from
putting it in their car engines along with regular oil. You have to
drain and refill before every race or run.

The history of Castrol in Bike Racing
The winner of the 1925 motorcycle race about to cross the finish line
Release date: 21 March 2005
Since the dawn of motorcycle racing before the First World War, Castrol
has been as inseparable from the sport as the distinctive smell of
Castrol R oil.
For many decades the fine-scented castor oil flavoured the racing
paddocks everywhere from Assen to the Isle of Man, from Brooklands to
Monza.

Castrol became involved in motorcycle racing soon after organised
competition began in the early 1900s. The official Motorcycle
championship would not begin until 1949, but the world's most famous
brand of oil was there in the thick of things more than 30 years
before.

Castrol was a mainstay of racing in the inter-war years as the oil of
choice for privateers and factory teams alike. As racing on two wheels
established itself, most of the winning machinery had Castrol inside
it.

With the start of the official World Championship after the Second
World War, Castrol was used by such marques as Gilera and Norton. It
was a time of thundering single-cylinder four-strokes up against a
handful of exotic multi-cylinder machines like the Gilera ridden by
triple champ Geoff Duke, and its spiritual successor, the dominant MV
Agusta used by legendary multiple champion John Surtees.
