Hi All,

When out giving the old bird a bit of hello I get the smell of oil inside the car, I know this is due the airflow via the tailgate of rear light units when the roof is up. The question is can you put Castrol R30 :mrgreen: in with the fuel, I put a cap full in my motor bike with every fill up which gives the lovely smell you get down the pit lane :D . Would this work on the 944 or would it cause problems :(

Methanol? I am on about what goes in the car :P

Will R30 (Racing oil) mess up the injectors

Long term yes. castor oil (which is where the name Castrol comes from) gums up engines which is why I don't fly it in model aircraft any more.
I think R351 is the degummed version which would be better.
