That is because most mfg would like to suggest you to use high % lubricant when run-in.
For example;
20% Nitro may have 20% Nitro / 15%castor and synthetic oil / 65% methyl alcohol.
40% Nitro may have 40% Nitro / 9%castor and synthetic oil / 51% methyl alcohol.
More lubricant is good for break-in and your sleeve will not get scratches. If you want to use your 40% still ok if you add 2% castor oil.
