Castrol is a division of BP Australia now , order through any BP outlet or from your favourite bike shop as suggested ;)
I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

Without trying to sound like a FKIA, have you used it before?
Maxima 927 is far better castor oil.

Certainly does....and it's the choice of oil in the Go Kart world......and they rev twice as hard as most VMX bikes.

Castrol stopped making the R30 some years ago. If you can find any now, it will be old stock. Good luck.

They only make R40 now "as a service to our customers" .... so I am informed !

There are a few brands that do a castor based oil. Maxima is one Castrol do "747", Rock oil "Cart Castor 100", Shell Advance racing M and Rock oil do a straight castor called Racing caster that will mix with petrol or methanol.
A few to choise from if you can't find R30.

Like BigK says, any bike shop or chamber builder can order it in for you.
Castrol still list it on their 2015 web site

The rotary engine boys run R30 in their cars over here in NZ . Don't know why though, maybe it's the smell factor aswell
