I use Mobil Jet Oil II in my Radar's gearboxs' at work. Nasty stuff, not too good for your health in all honesty (prolonged periods). I know of some gas turbine flyers that swear by it in turbines. I'm not too sure how it'd go in our engines though. Might be worth a try, but be careful especially with vapours, mist. Below is the MSDS for it. I do know that it does stain paint pretty badly.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL DATA
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
---ACUTE TOXICOLOGY---
ORAL TOXICITY (RATS): Practically non-toxic (LD50: greater than 2000
mg/kg). ---Based on testing of similar products and/or the
components.
DERMAL TOXICITY (RABBITS): Practically non-toxic (LD50: greater than
2000 mg/kg). ---Based on testing of similar products and/or the
components.
INHALATION TOXICITY (RATS): Practically non-toxic (LC50: greater
than 5 mg/l). ---Based on testing of similar products and/or the
components.
EYE IRRITATION (RABBITS): Practically non-irritating. (Draize score:
0 or greater but 6 or less). ---Based on testing of similar
products and/or the components.
SKIN IRRITATION (RABBITS): Practically non-irritating. (Primary
Irritation Index: greater than 0.5 but less than 3). ---Based
on testing of similar products and/or the components.
OTHER ACUTE TOXICITY DATA: ****This mixture or a similar mixture did
not result in any fatalities to rats at concentrations (see
inhalation toxicity above) substantially higher than the 5 mg/m3
TLV suggested for oil mists.
---REPRODUCTIVE TOXICOLOGY (SUMMARY)---
This product is unlikely to produce reproductive effects by any route
of exposure. In Mobil laboratory studies, no adverse effects
were seen on male reproductive systems of rats exposed to a
generic jet engine oil containing 3% TCP for 14 days oral or 13
weeks dermal exposure. In addition, no adverse effects were seen
in ovaries of female rats after 13 weeks dermal exposure.
---SENSITIZATION (SUMMARY)---
This product contains 1.0% wt. phenyl-alpha-naphthylamine (PAN).
Human repeated insult patch testing with lubricants containing
1.0% (w/w) PAN caused no reactions indicative of sensitization in
over 449 human subjects. A similar jet oil formulation
(containing 0.75% w/w PAN) was evaluated in a guinea pig
sensitization test (Buehler) and found not to cause skin
sensitization. In a separate study, guinea pigs that were highly
sensitized to pure PAN were found to tolerate a challange
concentration of 1.0% (w/w) PAN in mineral oil with no
sensitization response.
---OTHER TOXICOLOGY DATA---
Under normal conditions of use this product is unlikely to produce
neurotoxic effects by dermal or inhalation exposure but may
produce such effects if orally ingested. While not acutely
toxic, repeated applications of 2 g/kg of a generic engine oil
containing 3% tricresyl phosphate (TCP), (one dermal
application/day, 5 days/week for 90 days), to male and female
Sprague-Dawley rats decreased the activities of both serum and
red blood cell cholinesterases. TCP was found to be responsible
for the observed effects. Acute oral studies with the TCP
additive showed inhibition of brain neuropathy target esterase
which is indicative of a potential to produce delayed
neurotoxicity. Repeated oral administration of 2 g/kg of a
generic jet engine oil containing 3% tricresyl phosphate (TCP)
(once/day, 5 days/week for 10 weeks) to hens (60mg/kg/day TCP)
inhibited brain neuropathy target esterase (NTE) by 70% and
caused ataxia or paralysis in 22 of 30 hens in this treatment
group.
