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

Can you nick a few bottles at stocktake time 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

Question. If I run R30 in my mower purely to sniff that sweet smell do I have an issue?!

no only if you 'also' run it in the wipper snipper.

Chain saws are a must however.  just dont put your nose to close to the chian end.

i use the fuel with castrol R in it after i drain out the bikes for summer storage,i  use the old fuel in lawn mower,wipper snipper,chain saw and air blower.My wife wonders why the hell i love sniffing the smoke!! It's great because when ever i smell it,i think of old motor cross bikes.
