Anyone Using this oil in Jet Cat turbines? Just bought my first turbine and it seems like this oil may be the way to go. thanks

I have used DTE Light in my P-120 at the end of last years flying season. About 35 flights at 5% mixture. Works great.

RE: MOBIL DTE Light ?
If you're having trouble finding Mobil DTE, see if your local Chevron supplier has their ISO VG32 equivalent product "GST 32". It is similarly priced ($58/5 gal here), non-carcinogenic, doesn't turn brown in the sun, with no foul smell/eye burn when running.

I've used 5% GST 32 exclusively in all my turbines for the past 2 years in Artes Rhino, Eagle, Falcon PST 600R, 1300R and JetCat Titan, P-60 with not one single issue.

RE: MOBIL DTE Light ?
as i said none of the turbine oils were meant to be mixed with fuel and burnt. that is why there is coaking and clogging in the combustion chambers .
i have found that the dte lite burns very clean.
facts are facts and each can do as they want , but i will burn the cleanest and less toxic oils that are good for me and my turbines!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know if I accidentally get DTE Light on my hands it doesn't bother me like I had gotten "the other stuff" on my hands. Of course I wash it off as quickly as I can anyway.

There is at least one very good thread here at RCU dealing with Mobile DTE Light. If you do a search on DTE I bet it'll pop up for you and most likely there are several pilots that replied to that thread that fly with Jet Cat turbines.

Thanks Woody, I have used 10 gallons of DTE light through a Wren Supersport with no problems. Shell has an equivalent and exact crossover product called Shell 32.

RE: MOBIL DTE Light ?
Joe,
is this the shell stuff you are using ??
SHELL VITREA® OILS
Excellent non-additive machine and bearing oils
Product Description
Shell Vitrea Oils are highly refined, high viscosity index, straight mineral oils that give excellent lubricating performance where rust, oxidation and/or high bearing and gear loading are not problems. Vitrea Oils have high viscosity indexes, typically from 90 to 100. They are available in nine ISO viscosity Grades from 13 to 460.
Applications
• often used as an aviation smoke oil • light duty hydraulic systems • plain and anti-friction bearings • spur, helical and bevel gears operating under moderate loads • machine oil equipment
Features/Benefits
• good water separation • very good oxidation resistance
Shell Vitrea 13 - 5 Gallon Pail 658105/6556505203$39.99

Vincent, according to the cross reference table in my previous post, "Shell Tellus S 32" is the DTE Light equivalent.

[Turbine fuel or oil is not in the TOXIC class]
Are you sure of that? As I remember reading some earlier posts about the turbine oil and its fumes it was not very friendly to us humans.

Glow fuel containing TOXIC methanol is far, far worse than any turbine fuel or oil. Never touched that stuff have you ?

You and I have had this discussion before back in middle of '06. You were wrong then and you're wrong now AND you're putting out information that may lead people to make bad decisions.
Not only wrong, but exceedingly, possibly dangerously wrong!
Methanol IS toxic , but you have to drink a lot of the stuff (4 oz at one sitting) to have any permanent effect, and so far I've never seen anybody drink glow fuel . Organophosphates on the other hand are toxic by mere exposure to the burned by products
Health and safety (From the MSDS)
Methanol is intoxicating but not directly poisonous. It is toxic by its breakdown ( toxic ation) by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase in the liver by forming formic acid and formaldehyde which cause blindness by destruction of the optic nerve. [2] Methanol ingestion can also be fatal due to its CNS depressant properties in the same manner as ethanol poisoning. It enters the body by ingestion. Fetal tissue will not tolerate methanol. If methanol has been ingested, a doctor should be contacted immediately. Toxic effects take hours to start, and effective antidotes can often prevent permanent damage. This is treated using ethanol or fomepizole[3]. Either of these drugs acts to slow down the action of alcohol dehydrogenase on methanol by means of competitive inhibition, so that it is excreted by the kidneys rather than being transformed into toxic metabolites. Though it is miscible with water, methanol is very hard to wash off the skin it is best to treat methanol like gasoline.
