Hi

Is it ok to still use Exxon 2380 (or it's new spec number).

I know it is still in the manual but someone told me it is now not recommend due to carbon build up is this correct ??

Thanks Ian r

Hi Matt

Thanks for your prompt reply

Just to clarify Exxon 2380 does produce carbon in the turbine

and I should be using Aeroshell 500 is this correct ?

Also Mobil II is this like the exxon or the Aeroshell 500 they are to the same specification standard.

thanks for your help

I can only say the factory recommended oil is Aeroshell 500, that is all we use now.

I am not a petrleum expert, so I am not sure about standards and interchangability.

All I can say is that the factory is pretty excited about the aeroshell.

Thanks very clear

Have about 4 gal. of jet-A 1 mixed with 2380 oil that was used with Ram 500. OK to use this much in new engine until I can get a refill? How long does it take to carbo up? Also ok to use aeroshell in Ram 500? Prefer not to have 2 types of fuel.
Thanks, Mike

What percentage is the RAM 500 blend? I know they changed it a couple of times that is why I ask.

Ok...so JC wont endorse 2380 but is there any real reason why...I read the posts w/regard to carbon build up, but no official rebutal to rebuke the use of 2380. If Carbon buildup does occur please let us know how it manifests itself...how will we be able to tell. Thanks

I signed off earlier on this thread but I have to agree a definitive view from Jetcat ( no disrespects Matt).

Aero Shell 500
Mobil II
Exxon 2380

Price wise in the UK Aeroshell is twice the others, but the rule you pay for what you get does not always apply

Once again no criticism Matt you are doing a great job for us users of a class turbine the Jetcat


Thanks Ian R

I am not sure how to clarify this, but I will try:

Regarding the warranty.....to quote our esteemed leaded:

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Any synthetic turbine oil is fine for the JetCat USA's warranty.

For future purchases of oil, the oil-store.com sells Aeroshell 500 for $5.90 a quart + shipping.

Regarding the best oil to use in your JetCAT:

1.) The factory strongly recommends Aeroshell 500

2.) We do not have any specs on when the carbon will build up, or any other specifics like that.

We are just trying to pass on the best information we have, understanding that many who have many thousands of dollars invested would like to use the best oil for their product.

Hope this helps

Matt
