Also Exxon has a new Turbine oil out called 2197. Heard anything
about that Mark Wrathall?

Esso (Exxon) is not as big in Europe. Mobil has also been pushing a new
turbine oil 291. We are pretty conservitive and will stick with Mobil Jet
Oil II, as we know it has the best coking properties of the proven oils.
Shell 560 is about the worst, at least for Pratt engines (carbon seals). We
ran Exxon 2380 in Canadaair RJ's for a few years, no major pro's or Cons.
With the cost of large turbofan shop visits, it takes a lot of incentives by
the oil companies for an airline to try a new oil.

United is trying Exxon 2197. I will let you know if it is pulled.
