Castrol Power R40 is a castor-based SAE 40 Racing Engine Oil containing specially prepared additives to prevent rapid deterioration through oxidation. Even now, it is still recommended to change castor oil frequently, even though modern castor oil has additives to reduce oxidation, which causes lacquers and deposits to form on various engine parts, and also additives to reduce corrosion from the moisture absorbed readily by this type of oil. It should not be used interchangeably with other engine oils - if you have any questions regarding its use then please get in touch with our technical team first.
