DO NOT, and I repeat DO NOT use WD-40 as ARO, MMO is great but expensive, Mobil 1 Full synthetic 10w-30 engine oil would be THE VERY BEST and CHEAPEST ARO you can get, 1 quart will last you a lifetime and since it is fully synthetic, means no dino fat on it, it will never harm your plug, o rings or any silicone inside for that matter...

Not that it's a bad thing. Groupings are a bit dated anyway - each has their benefits and disadvantages. Generally the 'best' is some combination of blends, though it all depends on what you are looking for in an oil.
With regards to M1, 0w-40 and 0w-30 are the closest two to a PAO base.

3 in 1 oil from lowes works also.fyi.
I use it when I put an engine up for a while
But no I dont know the scientific break down for it. I just know I have used it for years of nitro racing and it works

A better solution but there are so many different oils that I would advise to drop some fuel in a glass and add some oil you want to use as an AR to it so you can see how it will behave with the fuel. Methanol is nasty stuff to mix with oils, not all oils will mix.
So far I was told the red Tornado AR is basicly wapon oil which is made for the same purpose: preventing the metals from rust.. And hey, a bottle will cost you 5 bucks with which you can do a whole year, so why so difficult to get something else.

The problem with that is that it does dry up. Storing it for a longer time can cause problems.

+1 on the castor, it will gum up and thicken after time, so for long term storage I wouldnt rec castor.
