I have one can of the old Castrol bean oil, and have been thinking of what to 
do with it (short of actually putting it in an engine - seems like a waste 
since it will leak back out again). Incidentally, this is different from 
Castor oil, which is used for freeing locked rear ends. Whenever my wife and 
I go to antique malls there are dealers selling all manner of potpourie. 
These smell like things my wife likes, for instance flowers, pine bark and 
herbs. My idea is potpourie for car folks. A nice mixture of Castrol bean 
oil, fiberglass resin and a fresh spray of Krylon semi-flat black. 
Suggestions for future additions to the line?

Davis Motorsports (http://www.goracin.com/) sells Blendzall (really!) Racing 
Motor Oil - it's usually added  as a top lube for methanol, but it'll sure 
smell good coming out the tail pipes of your Morgans . . .
