Well, if you want to run an electric pump and have a separate oil circuit and reservoir  for your turbo probably would be great.

For a combustion engine, I wouldn't dare put it in.

yea, its for turbine engines that turn 30k rpms or more.. im sure its thin as hell, so it can flow thru the bearings at those speeds..

im with nathan, no way i would EVER put that in the crank case of my engine..

I didn't see any weight info on that. I am sure that there are better oils with more information.

I was flying in a bell 212 a couple months ago and there was a sticker on the side of the chopper that called for that oil. I'd never use it in anything but a turbine.

'82 Rabbit, I put on a euro vnt-15, 2.25" DP, 2.5" exhaust, the result.....it whistled.

I removed the turbo, made a toilet bowl 2.5" DP, the result....it was deafening. Now it has a homemade muffler up front and a thrush in the rear, the result.....less loud.

As mentioned, it is a mil spec oil that is not for our engines.  Per BP's specs, it is a 3 cSt synthetic lubricant, and kinematic viscosity at 40 degrees C is 12.46 cSt.   By comparison, Mobil 1 synthetic diesel oil at a 5W-40 grade at 40 degrees C has a viscosity of 97.9 cSt.   (Higher number is "thicker".
