Benol isn't regular castor is the point I was trying to make. It's expensive that has other stuff added to it and its chemically changed from the base oil. Mix it with gas for your go kart, not model engine fuel. IMHO.
I get you!
They do print all sorts of stuff on things though to sell more, like mineral water that's just plain old water.
Some additive packages can be in the 0,1% range, it all depends on what they are trying to do, or adapt it to.
BeNol is altered, but buying an altered castor oil can be the only way for a regular person to get a hold of some of the additives that may be of benefit.
The guys working with tribology isn't exactly dumb people, they have quite a few years in school.
But of course, if they have developed something for door hinges, it might not be suited for airplanes.
