Fortunately benzene is illegal as paint thinners in many places. I am really surprised if it is used as such in Australia.

I used the Mobil equivalent years ago at Castlereagh Dragway, while the engine couldn't take full advantage of it due to the CR (DCR), an increase in Ignition Advance was used to full effect with some serious results :D

We went to the Chateau Impney Historic Hillclimb this weekend and amongst the traders was 'Fuzz Townshend's Classic Oils'. On their stall was this  https://www.classic-...alvemaster-Plus

The stallholder assured us that this is identical to the discontinued Castrol product and even manufactured by them.

Fuzz Townshend's Classic Oils  is based at Bicester Heritage whch will need no introduction.
