No that is a S rated oil S means spark firing along with air cooled and and four stroke, diesel use a C rated compression firing if it has a SL/CD rating it would work

You also can't use it because your bus will spontaneously take flight and that's a whole different ballgame from what we're used to!

[Hi yo silver]

It might be alright if you don't try inverted flight...

Not sure about that weight but I know the 15/50 is around $100 for 12 quarts.

ahahah....you guys crack me up... Cliff, what would be the negatives of using such an oil rated for "spark ignition" engines?

Aeroshell 100 is 50wt. syn airplane engine oil.  I bought a case to run in my '85 Harley FLH, but wasn't happy with the results.  What's wrong with 40wt. CF-2?

What's wrong with 40wt. CF-2? 

Almost impossible to gain altitude..............

Scott,

Use it as fuel...you'll go really fast

C'mon, oil is oil right?

WHY ?  Whywould onewant to use aviation lube oil, designed for an entirely different operating engine, first air cooled engines run hotter than water cooled engines, why I used it in my old VW camper, worked great for that, but in a diesel ? I would say maybe been reading too many comic books. 
I used 50 wt diesel oil in my 8V-92, due to having it in the 600 hp range plus the weakness of the rear main bearing.

My guess is he got a good deal on a load that fell of the Back of a truck?

      Scott, "C" rated oils have special additives to disperse the carbon ("soot") that diesel engines put into their oil.  Aircraft oils don't have those additives.  As was mentioned, this formulated to be stable at high temps but it really doesn't have much else going for it; one thing that it's good at is not leaking or losing pressure in a high temp airplane engine as the tolerences in oil clearances and the small gasket surfaces move around.  Most airplanes that would use that oil get an oil change at 50 hours, that's about the equivalent of 2500 miles; the reason for the short change is that the oil is a good detergent but not very good at holding what the tribologists refer to technically as "crap" in suspension.
      Not a very good oil for what we need in any case (even a gasoline engine in a bus); much less good for a diesel engine.

guess motorcycle oil will be next..
