From what I have searched I see that this oil is made of castor oil and I thought this isnt as good for filter use.
There are some other companies like Mugen or even motorcycle shops that sell foam oil that gets sticky or thick when it dries so would this be better to use in very dusty conditions?

The problem with these oils you mention is that we do not know how this oil reacts when it goes inside the engine and I can guarentee you that this happens. Now with some of these oils you will have possible no problems but I have experienced with some customers big problems and then of course the engine is faulty and not the airfilter oil..., well it turned out to be the airfilter oil makeing the engine not work well, but this always takes a long time to discover.
If you use a castrol oil based airfilter-oil like we do then even when the oil will go in the engine then it will not be a problem because this oil burns very well in the engine, so for us this is the ideal thing to do.

Hmm but as far as for filtration is castor oil really the best for trapping dirt?
I suppose to be safe the inner filter could be castor oil and the outer filter a more sticky oil. I figured there shouldnt be that much oil in the fitler to be sucked into the engine. The excess is supposed to be soaked up in a rag so this wont happen.
I guess the only way to know is to try it. If I have a wierd time tunning the engine I could always switch back to the RB oil right? Other oils wont damage the engine will they?

Some oils(especially the silicone based one's) when they go inside the engine they leave some kind of deposit which is very, very long to get rid off and sometimes it is impossible to get rid of this.
