I would think that a major part of it would get past the rings, otherwise there would be none of that unforgetful smell. When there would be no smell left, then we could assume that it had all burned

That's why I put it in the gas instead of in the sump. You can't mix Castrol R and regular or synthetic oils in any quantity. I would think that a major part of it would get past the rings, otherwise

Nah, been doing it on occassion for 30 years. It's just a little bit in a whole tank of gas, and if you have that much blowby you have bigger problems than a little bean oil. For that matter, back wh

Thanks for the tip. A friend/local old biker nut/old hippie, still had some Castrol R. I put some in the JD and boy, was that fun to cut the grass. Then put some in the Triumph Bonnie and enjoyed an

What's with this Castrol R thread? I know who started this, but I'm suspicious about his motive. First we debated vintage appearance, then vintage history, then some twit suggested vintage air extrac

Uncle Jack, we all know that nothing, not even tar, would leak SLOWLY out of Triumphs when they are hot! I share your suspicions. I think Archer, Daniels, Midland is behind it. They probably have fou

I used to put a little castro R in the gas tank of my cafe racer motorcycle to get that great smell. No, it wasn't a two stroke--there was no function other than smell. So even if there's a nefarious

Bill, I never had a cafe racer - but the Castrol R smell bit me at an early age. It has stayed with me ever since - and I did the same as you. Put a few drops in the fuel tank. As I said the tank in

I for one have noticed "vintage smell" eminating from some vintage drivers on warm days. Perhaps a change in spec to bean oil is worthy of consideration. John

All I could afford to do with it was to use it for rear damper fluid (easier the seals than real oil, and 1 quart lasted years)! The standing by trackside smells were FOC. HP
