Hi Enrique, here we are fine!
Did you see the Motul 710 2T oil? Is unexpensive than the turbine oil and you can use in 2% mix.

Hello Tilaco
We made a lot of testing with diferent oils because the Turbine oil is very toxic and we found out that the 100% synthetic 2 strokes oil is much beter for our turbines, the only downside is if you use too much you can get gummy bearings in cold starts, we are using Motul 710 but any good Brand that meats the JASO FC norm and is designed to mix in 50-1 ratios can be used, just stay away of the ones designed for 100-1 mixing ratio
We are mixing it at 50-1 or 2%
Regards
Hi Juan, great to hear from you!
When you say cold starts you mean how low temperatures ? any recommended procedure for this situation or just the residual heat of a failed start will solve the problem?
Hello Enrique
I mean cold starts as a start up when turbine is compleately cool, like first start of the day, cold temperaturas can make it worse
Here in Mexico we fly exclusively on Diesel and 2% two strokes oil, and some turbines had compleated over 100 hours with this fuel combo (with their regular services of corse)
