Default RE: Engine oils

David,

If you can work out how to get it shipped to Australia, I can send you some OX-27 if this helps you?

I came across this turbine oil by chance. My local supplier was charging me £10 per quart for fully synthetic turbine oil, but offered me this OX-27which he had surplus to requirements and offered it to me at £10 per can for 5 liters. I did some internet searches on the oil and it seemed to meet all the requirements. So tried it first in the Simjet, which seemed fine so then in the Jetcats, which has also been perfect.

Noticed yesterday on each landing I got a puff of blue smoke out of the turbine at the point the wheels touch the tarmac. Looks like tyre smoke, but definitely came out of the turbine. On switching the engine off I get a couple of puffs of blue smoke out of the turbine on the initial spool down. Guess its unburnt oil but does not seem to effect the reliability or performance.
