May I suggest peanut oil(unless your allergic to peanuts of course),as it won't break-down under higher temps.

I use Castrol. Pretty much because classic rotaries, like the Le Rhone, used castor oil, and Castrol was the closest thing I could find that had the correct API rating.

Dino.

Like I said before, I wanted castor oil because that's what the classic rotaries use, and Castrol was the closest thing to that spelling. I prefer dino because I have this mental image of giving a big slug of castor oil to a dinosaur, then standing back a safe distance and watching.

If it helps, castrol's full synthetic isn't really what you might think it is
