Stupid question... What is caster oil

Is this the same as 2 stroke oil that everyone runs as a premix?

It was recomended to me to run this in my oil, is that what it is?

Do you mean the stuff they mix into RC nitro-methanol fuel? It's a lubricant made out of castor beans. Read the link.

they use it in older cars, like the 30's gp cars cause its a good lubricant, and the nitro/rocket fuel mix they used to use takes the oil away.

2 stroke tcw3 works great though

its castor oil btw, casters are what your office chair rolls on
