sold under brands such as pro select and coastal.

RE: aw-32
 

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.

isnt mobil dte 24 a htdrauloic oil?

do you kniw any oils I can use in a jet cat i might be able to get locally?

RE: aw-32
 

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.

RE: aw-32
 

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

RE: aw-32

RE: aw-32
 

glad you showed up, this is for my new k80f. can you oist some options I can use? what abou dte light?

RE: aw-32
 

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.

RE: aw-32
 

can you not get a MS23699 oil in your area or is it a health concern issue???

RE: aw-32
 

I can get it just have to order it,  I was trying to find a local source for convenience.

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

RE: aw-32
 

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?

chevron gst 32 same as mobil dte lite but has highter flash point. also chevron hipersyn 32 has almost the same flash point as
aeroshell 500

RE: aw-32
 

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.
