hydraulic oil is a light mineral oil and has a very low boiling point, it wouldn't be optimal as a lube in our turbines.

plenty of alternatives out there that are readily accessible and economically priced.

its a lubricating oil, used in hydraulics but mostly in vacuum pumps/compressor motors for lubrication.

for a JetCat, JetCat recommends Aeroshell 500 turbine oil, but any milspec 23699 (synthetic) turbine oil is acceptable, YMMV.

KC is right, AW-32 has a much lower flash point if you compare the specs

Locally for your area? No.

You can buy oil recommended for turbines here...http://dreamworksrc.com/catalog/turbine-oil-c-150.html

Don't risk your engine's health, performance and your warranty by feeding your engine oil not recommended by the manufacturer.... That's my take on turbine oil, YMMV.

Barry sells a big ole bucket of turbine oil for a good price, and a couple gallon goes a long ways.

Thanks guys for the info. I talked to Barry and will buy some from him. According the one manufacturer of the AW-32, it is the same as DTE 24. But I think I will stick with real turbine oil.

There is a small airport locally that has 4 private jets. I am going to go talk to them and see if they will sell me some oil in the short term until Barry gets his supply.

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-size: 9pt">Whether or not these oilswill workmightbe determined by some testing (assuming someone has a motor they don't mind experimenting with) but seeing that you have a new motor are you perhaps voiding the warranty by using a different oil than what is recommended byeverymanufacturer? Ifyou do experienceany issue with your motor and it becomes known that you were using a totallydifferent typeoil in the thing, I have a feeling you may have an issue getting your repair covered even if you keepup withthe required maintenance schedule with Kingtech.</span></div>

Why not call Tac-Air at 402 422-6633, go to the airport and get Turbine oil locally?

Yeah I think AW-32 would also be fine but I am not going to risk my motor.  I will stick with status quo for now and just use DTE LIght.

From my understanding, burning turbine oil is very bad for your health.  Its not meant to be burned.
