RE: Titan Pro PP and oil motor run caps?

Yes. I have drawers full of capacitors. Many motor start types, Russian oil, copper, silver, aluminum, some with specialty lead out wires. I avoid silver wires for signal, especially hooked up to coupling capacitors.

The sound of motor start capacitors vary. This is because the internal materials are varied based on intended use, when they were made, and even the type of oil inside. Most newer ones made after 1999 are aluminum-polypropelene-oil. Not the best in my opinion, but better than many Audiophile capacitors. Get some motor start types and some Russian oil filled. Compare and you're off to a good start!
