I may be wrong as I don't own a Kingtech but I believe they recommend that you use only their oil and the warranty may not be honored if you don't so you would also want to know from Jetsmunt if Kingtech oil is ok to use in their engines unless you want to have two different fuel jugs.

Kingtech has a couple of specific turbine oils they exclude due to observed coking problems, and I think all 2-stroke motorcycle oils. But to the best of my knowledge they do not require you to use Kingtech oils. I do use theirs since I only have Kingtech's, but others at my field use generally available turbine oils. For more information on what Kingtech will and won't warranty, contact Dirk or Barry. There are also threads on this topic on the Kingtech support forum.

KingTech engines use Diesel, 1-K kerosene or Jet-A1 for fuel. Fuel must be mixed with 5%KingTech Special Blend or synthetic turbine oil (Aeroshell 500 and all 2-stroke oil areprohibited), or 1 quart of oil in every 5 gallons of fuel. Among the above 3 types of fuelKingTech highly recommends using regular pump Diesel as they are readily available,inexpensive and having a higher energy density and up to 10 to 12% better fuel efficiency. For best result and full core warranty, use KingTech Oil only, it is proven to be the cleanestand has the best lubrication properties for our engines, please refer to the below comparisonchart:

Mobil DTE Light can be had for about $95-100 for 5 Gallons. I plan on using it in my Jets Munt Merlin...
No one answered this tho:
"I have a Jets Munt that the previous owner ran Jet A exclusively in, and I can get Jet A but it is an hour or so round trip and Diesel is 5 min from home... so there is no issues using Diesel? I plan on 5% Mobil DTE Light as oil."
Anyone know??

Hey no problem. Like I said, I have no skin in this game. Just repeating what I thought I heard and then checked the manual which confirmed it. I have only JetCentral engines and use Amsoil 2 stroke synthetic. If I were to get a Kingtech I guess I'd need two fuelers

Maybe a brush up on your reading comprehension skills is in order..... The word "seems": is in there for a reason.
But it does start faster and finishes the cool down cycle sooner. Flight time is the same, and power SEEMS to be better.
Didn't want you to miss the word Seems again so I put it in all caps.
