Yep, I've used BP 2380 (used to be Exxon 2380) in my JetCats. I believe that JetCat USA says that this is an "approved" oil for their turbines (they used to only say that AeroShell 500 was approved).

2380 used to be the preferred oil for model turbines. Then AMT et al started saying that Aeroshell 500 was better as it had less chance of coking up the injectors, or something like that.

Still plenty of people using it quite successfully though.
