        I'm sure you can't use R40 oil in an engine that has been run on another oil before as if mixed it turns too jelly and clogs everything !!!!
        R40 engines must be built from new (all clean inside) too run on it .
        sigpic 2.1 ATMO YB POWER .
        Tick tock goes the clock and the clock don't lie .
        12.4sec to 109mph With NO turbo , NO gay trailer , NO slicks , NO gas , NO race fuel and NO bits missing . Beat that !!!!

              I may be wrong but Castrol R must not be allowed to sit in an engines sump for any length of time

              "Normal" oils obviously stay in engine in between services or oil changes but Castrol R is supposed to be drained after an event, rally etc

              Have heard of people who then put "road oil" back in with no problems regarding mixing oil types in sump
