fully synthetic two stroke oil is ok wren recommend it for thier engines, outboard engines use the same oil if that helps

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.

Don't agree. I know some mfrs may have indicated this but the sythetics tend to leave a "gummy" residue that will affect the turbine on start up. A buddy was running H1R oil and burned out four starters on one and was having flame-outs with another. He has since switched to BP and has no problems.

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

Robrow

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

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.

Talk to me Franky
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?

I have been using chevron gst iso 32 in my p80 for over 1 year (150 gals+) with no problems.

Yo, Pleasant Heights.....which engine are you using that stuff in?

Boomerang1

I'll second that, had problems with hard starting on 2 stroke oil, fine with DTE light. - John.

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 !!!!

OK Danno..that's bs...I saw you pouring used MacDonalds french fry oil in your gas can. No wonder your jet smells like fried taters!

my wren 54 has 37 hrs on the original bearings still going strong fully synth oil wont harm them at all even if they feel like the are a bit sticky at least you know that they are lubricated and being protected from corrosion while layed up

Wren SS and Jet Central Super Eagle. I'll probably run it in my old P-60 too when I get that plane off the shelf and going again.

I bought is thru a oil distrubutor, should be able to find it at any local were citco products are sold. Use the same mix as manufactor calls for. I remember right, it was $45 for a 5gal pal.

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