Can you use an aviation oil in a diesel engine sd33t?

Answer 1

it depends-

Do not use any type of turbine oil it is synthetic and will eat up your seals.

You could use some of the piston aviation oil if you don't operate under

dirty conditions, make sure it is not synthetic (aircraft use different oil seal the autos) and use a turbo oil it has more additives which work well with diesel engines

in a car with a turbo which stays on the paved roads a aviation piston

engine oil for turbo charged aircraft at 30 to 50 weight would be good

most oils are made about the same way its the additives diesel oils have more detergent to keep the carbon suspended and not collecting on the insides of the engine- turbos get hot and tend to bake the oil and carbon

on the engine parts.

i am a aircraft mechanic since summer of 88 and have worked farm and diesel

repair since i was in grade school

Are you talking about using Jet fuel as fuel for the SD33T? If so then the answer is yes, but you must add lube oil to your tank. It is very common around airports and in the military to use Jet fuel or JP4 in diesel vehicles. This fuel has less lubricity that regular diesel so an additive like lube oil must be used.

Answer 2

Perhaps you mean Jet fuel and Diesel fuel. These two fuels are similar. Diesel fuel can be used to fuel most if not all jet aircraft in an emergency. I don't know, but I suspect the reverse would be true. Be aware that Jet fuel and general aviation (GA) fuel are not the same. Jet fuel is essentially kerosene and GA fuel is essentially gasoline but at higher octanes.
