Mobil Jet Oil II vs. Mobil Jet Oil 254
Mobil Jet Oil II and Mobil Jet Oil 254 are both synthetic 5 cSt aircraft turbine oils, but they occupy different MIL-PRF-23699 and SAE AS5780 performance classifications. Mobil Jet Oil II is the STD/SPC product, while Mobil Jet Oil 254 is the HTS/HPC product.
| Product | MIL-PRF-23699 | SAE AS5780 | Viscosity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mobil Jet Oil II | STD | SPC | 5 cSt |
| Mobil Jet Oil 254 | HTS | HPC | 5 cSt |
The two products should not be treated as interchangeable simply because both are 5 cSt turbine oils. Always use the lubricant specified by the applicable aircraft, engine, accessory, or component maintenance documentation.
