RE: 2 stroke oil for use in turbines
Wren recommend the use of two-stroke oil. Most other manufacturers don't recommend it, some for specific reasons, others because they haven't done the testing.
You can't just use any old lawn-mower oil, though. There is something about a thing called "TCW3" involved. I don't know whether this is a specification or an additive. I couldn't find anything on the Wren web site regarding oil.

wren say to use a2.5%[40:1] mix of non-synthetic outboard motor oil to tcw3 spec or srandard turbine oil such as exxon 2380,aeroshell 500,mobil jetoil or similar that is what is in the operation manual for the mk2 mw54
