Lubricating Oils

AeroShell Fluid 1 is a light lubricating mineral oil containing, by specification, less than 0.10% mass stearic acid. For use as a lubricant where a light anti-freezing oil is required, e.g. on aircraft instruments, gun mounting buffers, hydraulic couplings, controls, door hinges, etc. Also used as a preservative oil for Stromberg carburetors and some fuel systems. AeroShell Turbine Oil 3 can be used as an alternative to AeroShell Fluid 1, but AeroShell Fluid 1 must never be used as an alternative to AeroShell Turbine Oil 3.

AeroShell Fluid 3 is a general purpose mineral lubricating oil recommended for general lubrication of aircraft parts that require a light oil with good low temperature characteristics and a low freezing point. It is inhibited against oxidation and corrosion. AeroShell Fluid 3 is a relatively low viscosity product with good resistance to evaporation.

AeroShell Fluid 3 is recommended for general lubrication of aircraft parts that require a light oil, e.g. hinges, pivot joints, shaft joints, linkage pins and bearings, pulleys, cables, camera mechanisms, radio and radar gear and instruments. AeroShell Fluid 3 is normally applied by means of an oil can or brush. For this reason it is also described as 'an oilcan lubricant'. Operating temperature range of AeroShell Fluid 3 is -54°C to +121°C.

AeroShell Fluid 12 is a low volatility synthetic ester oil used in aircraft instruments and also for the general lubrication of aircraft. It is oxidation and corrosion inhibited, and possesses good high and low temperature characteristics.

AeroShell Fluid 12 is used for general aircraft lubrication as well as for aircraft gyro instrument gimbal bearings, separately lubricated high speed turbines and compressors, aircraft air cycle equipment and electronic equipment. AeroShell Fluid 12 is particularly suitable for use when an oil with a low evaporation rate is required at high and low temperatures
