castrol R30……2 stroke oil??

[dennis da menaceMember]

dudes, when i was a younger fella, all the “sic” blokes ran castrol R30 in thier smokers. it was the ducks guts, apparently.

ive also got a mate that still runs it in his 125 GP bike.

is this still the case or have synthetic oils taken the reigns.

basically, can i/should i run it in my 300. or are the “new” smokers too highly strung.
or have the metals used changed from the old days and has that made R30 obsolete.

i ask because…..

i love the smell of it…its sweeeet as:laugh:
its half te price of the motorex stuff (and sold at supercheap) i use (as recommended in by the KTM dealer)

what do yous reckon??

Love the smell me self, sometimes use a bit in the fiddy as it freaks a dickhead I know out because he thinks I am running racing fuel lol

I think technology has taken over from it mate and its better to use synthetic oh the smell how good is it :laugh:

Ahh the smell of R30!!! It isn’t a mineral oil is it?? I thought it was a vege/peanut oil of some description??
I used to run it in my RD250/350, loved the stuff. Wasn’t it a kinda funny purple colour?? Supercheap still has it ay? I might just get a bottle for Taylah’s PW80 and relive old times.:laugh:

By memory they had that great factory sticker set and took 1 and a half hours to get to top revs, but look out when they got there, went like the clappers for a 2fity yellow by memory

Mick dont use it in the auto oiler if its connected, you have to mix it yourself, I used to use it when I raced karts, had to drain what you didnt use as it doesnt store well and causes problems in high performance engines when reused, so used to drain and use in the mower and whipper snipper :woohoo:
