Castrol is a petroleum product, made for engines.  Don't use it.  

Castor oil is a laxative.  It is not recommended for trying to bring on labor.  It can cause the baby to pass meconium into the amniotic fluid, and then the baby can breathe it in, which puts the baby at risk for pneumonia.  Castor oil will not bring on labor if you are not ready.  So in general it is worth avoiding.
