Liontamer Posted October 24, 2020 Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 (edited) I always used to put a drop of Castrol R in the fuel tank of my road bikes. Didn't do them any harm & smelt lovely.

Bald Bloke Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 I'm thinking of putting a cap full in my lawn mower. I'd probably cut the grass more often, and with a smile on my face. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzac Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) Someone told me peanut or ground nut oil heated smells a bit like it? Haven't tried it but plus side if it doesn't smell like it, can cook with it or make dressings or dips I assume .. If not maybe Castor oil heated would smell similar as that was the original base oil for R ? Edited October 25, 2020 by gazzac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keepturningleft Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 A couple of years ago I happened across a model car racing circuit in West Vale near Halifax and, lo and behold, 'the smell' was immediately apparent. Therefore the cars presumably use Castrol R which means an obvious thing to do would be to watch speedway on your tablet whilst in attendance at one of these model car tracks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
