So higher heat is better for castor oil?

Tis weerly slippery stuff. The castor bean has been king for decades, but it has its pitfalls. There are tradeoffs with any oil type, its about finding what suits the application best. In some cases, castor is the best option.

Says Jaso-FD rated right on the back panel. Unless I am going cuckoo?

No, it says "Meets JASO FD", which is not the same as receiving an FD rating from JASO. They haven't paid for the testing, so they can't put the little logo on their bottle.

It's not FD rated and is in fact a NMMA certified boat oil. It also says to use where OEM specifies a TCW3 marine oil. No OPE OEM does this currently. Lawnboy mowers and Toro snowblowers(same engines) did, but they havent been produced for years.

Please reread the label.
