Turbines don't have the sludge buildup issues that recips do.
Burning kerosene vs leaded gas, etc.
That's why Mobil One lost the FAA blessing.
The pure synthetic oil is so slick it can't hold lead in suspension.


That's exactly correct. There's nothing wrong with the oil; the
problem is that we're still using lead in our fuel, and lots of it.
The full synthetics won't hold the lead in suspension. I know people
who are running the lower compression aviation engines on autogas and
Mobil One. The longevity of the engines, and especially their ability
to resist corrosion when they sit, is nothing short of incredble.
