I would suggest ring Wren,

I use Mobil JET OIL, i have also seen wren users put AeroShell in, there is also BP jet oil,in "the which turbine oil"thread of sometime ago someone put up a link where you can buy 4 or 5 cans at time and get a good price.

I think the mix is between 2 and 4%, from what i have seen on the wren threads most work to 5%, which is for every 19litres of Kero, 1 quart can of oil goes in to give you the 5% ratio.

I fly jetcat, and i work to 5% using Mobil Jetoil, i was using a hydraulic oil along with a few others, but after having a few problems with my bearing failing prematurely i have gone back to using a dedicated turbine oil.

I use Castrol TT Synthetic two stroke oil. It's cheap and Halfords sell it. Bearing life on engine was 80 hours and already at 50 hours again this time around. This oil works just fine and is recommended by Wren. 4oZ per Gallon is the mix.

Wren suggests BP2380, Aeroshell 500, Mobil 2380 and a few two stroke oils if you can't get turbine oil.

I'd use no more then 4 oz per gallon, most in the US use 3 to 3.5 oz per gallon.
