The consensus preferred is a 1 dollar bottle of walmart 2stroke oil per tank of any fuel in my navistar engined F250, but I think that is a price consideration. Castor oil mixes but doesn't burn (at least in rotary radial engines, hence the scarves favored by the pilots) so it might affect the catalytic converter
