RE: TURBINE OIL
Since you are in Italy, why not ask some of the local jet flyers what they are using, and where they purchase it?
I would think that it would be cheaper to buy it locally than from the USA. You could try your local airport.
Some of the oils that are in use are BP 2380, BP 2197, Mobil II Jet, or any of the other turbine oils that conform to MIL-PRF 23699.

This is true with the ''gummy'' residue, I have noticed it with two cycle oil also, does the DTE do this also?

RE: TURBINE OIL
After the engine has sat for 6 months does it still spin over as easily as with turbine oil in the fuel mix? Thats were I notice the difference, if I leave the engine for 6 months or so before the next run, I have to flush the turbine with kero because the rotor turns over very slowly due to the bearings being all gummed up.

You can also use pacemaker T32 from citco, exact same as mobil dte lite. It is also half the price of dte lite 5 gal pails.

I only have a little more than five gallons of DTE left... enough for about 200 gallons of kero [:-]
Where did you find the T32?

No, absolutely clean as a whistle even after years of running.

I don't care if it's better.... I ain't putting no 2 cycle outboard motor oil in my Turbine Aircraft !!!!! That just ain't right !!!! If I was an a Southwest Airlines flight fixing to push the gate, and I looked out the window and saw maintence putting a quart if Quicksilver Outboard motor oil in the engine.. I would get the hell off the airplane... Pour the same oil in a Aeroshell can, No problem !!!! Outboard oil in your Pride and Joy at the flying field... Thats Ghetto White Trash !!!!

Is this the stuff you guys are talking about? It's called ''Citco Pacemaker ST-32''.
