I suppose at the end of the day if using this oil has no detriment and carbon deposits are significantly lower how are they going to know

As I said in your other posts re DTE lite (sic) if you run some approved oil/fuel mix through the turbine before sending it back it would be almost impossible to tell.

Jet Central recommends 5% DTE instead of their normal 2.5%.

Here is an NGV from a Wren 160 after 15 hours of using Amsoil Red. The build up was so bad that is caused a rub!!!

Mobile DTE Lite does not have this effect...

Is the DTE light available in the US in les than 5 gallon buckets? E.g. 1 gallon or quart size? Quarts are so much more convenient and tidy.

I get DTE at McMaster Carr in one gallon containers. It cost a little more than the 5gal pail but it is much easier to handle and inventory when you are getting low. I dont know of any DTE in quart size.

Hey Ron when you say AMSOIL RED which oil do you mean?

Is it the Dominator synthetic oil or something else?

Correct, It was Dominator Red synthetic 2 stroke Oil.. mixed 5%.. I had been running Dominator for about a year.. .. . I was running it to see how well 2 stroke oil performed over longer term.. So Im back on DTE Lite..

DTE Lite is available at Grainger in 1 or 5 gallons..

Thanks Goose, it is interesting because Jet Central is recommending the Dominator oil mixed at 2.5%, so I just picked up a couple of quarts to try, they of course have no issues with DTE Light

It also dripped out the back.. so the oil was very persistent in clinging to the surfaces... good in a gas 2 stroke, not so good here since it uses direct oiling methods on the bearings.. We wanted to keep everything 5% KISS.. So that experiment is concluded now, and Im back on DTE per Rons direction..

I just looked at Grainger's. 5 Gallon bucket is $128 and I buy it here in Austin at Allied Oil Dist. for $81 bucks... I always knew Grainger's was a little high, but good grief !!!!

I have ran DTE light for years. Had 78 hrs on my Supersport before sending it n for service. Even after all that run time, the inside looked great!!!!

Hey Gary.

What retailer did you purchase it from in Canada?

Thanks

The only DTE Oil I can find at at McMasters is
http://www.mcmaster.com/#mobil-dte-24-oil/=j8fqu6

and at Grainger
http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/MOB...&cm_vc=IDPRRZ1

However this Is DTE 24 ISO 32 Oil which I believe is different than the DTE light sold in five gallon containers

Can anyone confirm?

I get my DTE Light from Todd at DreamWorksRC. You want the ISO Grade 32, SAE 10 version...

That's what the Granger site states for the DTE 24, I know I can get it from Dreamworks and then pay a ton in shipping[:@], I have a Grainger a few miles from my house and they stock the DTE 24, so I wanted to find out if it will work the same as the DTE Light circulation oil which is also ISO 32 Grade 10

If I have to mail order then I will definitely get it from Todd!

DTE 24 - Premium Hydraulic Oil, SAE Grade 10, ISO Viscosity Grade 32, Viscosity SUS @ 100 Degrees Fahrenheit 165, Flash Point 395 Degrees Fahrenheit, Pour Point -10 Degrees Fahrenheit, Container Size 1 Gallons, Product Head DTE 24

Rich. That's the same oil I use from Grainger. I use it at 5%.
