RE: oil types
I am not sure on the exact specs for a Booster 80 but the evoJet Booster 90 calls out MIL spec MIL-L-23699. The booster 90 manual calls out Areoshell 500, but any MIL-L-23699 spec oil will work fine. I run BP 2389, BP 2380, and Mobil Jet 2. All with no issues.
I know Chad runs a Red line synthetic oil, he can give you specifics on that oil.

RE: oil types
Snatch,
When in doubt, go with Dave's advice and run MIL-L-23699 spec oil. I am testing the Redline 2 stroke Racing oil as we speak so the factory can compare the wear patterns to that of aeroshell 500. For now, stick with the commonly accepted turbine oils.
