Castrol oils are now a division of BP Australia.. You can buy/order it from any BP distributor,  Castrol reseller, and technically from your local BP servo. R30 and R40 have been retained (unlike many BP oils and products) and now sold in a new plastic containers.   I work for a BP servo.....Cheers Tim

Simple question that probably has a complicated answer......Does castor oil go off with age? I'm rejigging my garage at present and in an old cupboard drawer have found a few bottles of 10 year old VP RC3 and a couple of bottles of equally old Castrol RC30. I'm toying with the idea of going back to bean oil in my 2 strokes so I can save myself a quid or two by using the stash I've already got.

Yes and no , if the bottles are opened they will suck up moisture if they are unopened no problems
