Tony,

First of all, don't put words in my mouth that I said everyone has to use KingTech oil or we will void your warranty. For the record, KingTech has prohibited the use of Aeroshell 500 and ALL 2 stroke oils period. We have accumulated enough data, that these oils are causing premature wear and damage to our turbines. I have said in many other posts that any other TURBINE OIL i.e. Mobil jet II, DTE light, Aeroshell 560, etc is acceptable to use. I have also gave my honest opinion as to the ranking of performance of other turbine oils when customers ask me for my opinion. KingTech oil has out performed all the other brands out there hands down in my opinion and if you go back to other posts and look at the pictures I posted you can make your own opinion. As a Service Tech, I feel it is my duty to report the findings of my repairs to our customers so they can decide what is best for them. You can run what ever you want in your turbine if you think you know better than us, but if you go against our recommendations, we do not have to warranty the break down.

On another note, if you dump sugar in your gas tank and blow the engine do you really think the manufacturer is going to fix your engine under warranty? Or if you put gas in your diesel truck and blow the engine, are they going to fix it for free? DON'T THINK SO....
