Product Description
AeroShell Turbine Oil 390 is a 3 mm²/s synthetic diester oil incorporating a carefully selected and balanced combination of additives to improve thermal and oxidation stability and to increase the load carrying ability of the base oil.
Main Applications
AeroShell Turbine Oil 390 was developed primarily as an improved 3 mm²/s oil for British turbo-jet engines. AeroShell Turbine Oil 390 is fully approved for a wide range of turbine engines.
More recently, because of the low temperature characteristics of AeroShell Turbine Oil 390, there is interest in using this oil in auxiliary power units (APU) in order to overcome the effects of cold soak. Normal practice is to shut down the APU during cruise, the APU then experiences cold soak, often prolonged, and when the unit is started there is considerable difficulty resulting in the unit not coming up to speed in the given time, thus causing a hung start.
In such cases where the APU is subject to a long cold soak the viscosity of standard 5 mm 2 /s oils used in the APU will increase from 5 mm 2 /s at 100 0 C to typically 10,000 mm 2 /s at –40 0 C. At this much higher viscosity the oil cannot flow easily leading to a large viscous drag within the APU, thereby contributing to the difficulty in starting. AeroShell Turbine Oil 390 on the other hand experiences a much smaller viscosity increase (typically 2000 mm 2 /s at –40 0 C) with a reduction in viscous drag which is often sufficient to overcome hung start problems.
All experience to date shows a considerable improvement in cold reliability of the APU when AeroShell Turbine Oil 390 is used.

Product Description
AeroShell Turbine Oil 560 is a third generation, high performance, low coking 5 mm²/s synthetic hindered ester oil incorporating a carefully selected and finely balanced combination of additives to improve thermal and oxidation stability.
Main Applications
Changes which have taken place over the last twenty years in engine performance (in terms of improved fuel consumption, higher operating temperatures and pressures) and maintenance practices have resulted in increased severity in lubricant operating conditions.
AeroShell Turbine Oil 560 was developed to withstand the hostile environments of today’s high powered, high compression engines in which the older generation of oils can be stressed up to and beyond their thermal limits, as evidenced by oil coking in the high temperature bearing areas.
By overcoming the problems associated with using old technology oils in new technology engines, AeroShell Turbine Oil 560:
- maintains a cleaner engine
- provides improved load carrying capacity
- reduces maintenance costs
- prolongs bearing life in both new and existing engines.
In order for military authorities to take advantage of this better performance in military engines the specification MIL-PRF- 23699 was re-written to include a “High Thermal Stability” (HTS) grade as well as the Standard (STD) and Corrosion Inhibited (C/I) grades. AeroShell Turbine Oil 560 is fully approved as an HTS oil. With the advent of the new civil turbine oil specification, SAE AS5780, which has more stringent requirements than the military specification, AeroShell Turbine Oil 560 was approved as a SPC (Standard Performance Capability) oil.
With effect from January 1st 2002, AeroShell Turbine Oil 560 has been manufactured with an improved formulation to further enhance its anti-coking performance.
AeroShell Turbine Oil 560 contains a synthetic ester oil and should not be used in contact with incompatible seal materials and it also affects some paints and plastics.

Product information
The straight mineral AeroShell Oils 65, 80, 100, and 120 offer protection for a wide variety of ambient take-off temperatures. With their specially blended high-viscosity index base oils, they provide more effective protection to engine components compared to conventional mineral oils, ensuring your aircraft performs reliably between scheduled overhauls.
Each of the numbers of these AeroShell oils represent their viscosity grades, which correspond with the viscosity of the oil at 210°F in Saybolt Universal Seconds.
The relevant grades are approved for use in 4-stroke (4-cycle) certified aircraft and their piston engines, except for Porsche. They’re also approved for other aircraft radial engines that use oil to specification SAE J1966 (MIL-L-6082) and don’t need oils that contain a dispersant additive.
For AeroShell Oils 65, 80, 100, and 120, their main use is during the break-in of new or recently overhauled four-stroke aviation piston engines. However, the lubrication recommendations and duration of break-ins vary depending on the engine, so check with the original engine manufacturer or overhaul facility what their specific recommendations are.
AeroShell Oils 65, 80, 100, and 120 are straight mineral oils blended from selected high-viscosity index base oils. These oils do not contain any additives except for very small amounts of pour point depressant (which aids to improve fluidity at very low temperatures) and an anti-oxidant.
The above oils are approved for all aviation piston engines of civil aircraft when the use of an oil not containing a dispersant additive is required. However, they should also be used during the break-in of a new aviation piston engine or those recently overhauled.
AeroShell Oils 65, 80, 100, and 120 are produced to meet fully the SAE specification J1966 (Grades SAE 30, 40, 50 and 60 respectively).
AeroShell Oils 65, 80, 100, and 120 product benefits
High-viscosity index base oils used in AeroShell oils maintain their viscosity and protect engine components more effectively under the high shear stresses that an engine places on lubricants.
Approved for all reciprocating engines of civil aircraft used for running-in operations or older generation engines requiring non-additive type engine oils (refer to manufacturer recommendations).
Provides compatibility with other approved aircraft piston engine oils. Since AeroShell Oils 65, 80, 100, and 120 are fully approved to SAE J1966 and are listed on the relevant Qualified Products List (QPL), elaborate precautions are not needed when changing from similarly approved aircraft engine oils, as long as these oils are qualified products.
AeroShell oils are inherently stable in storage.
Product information
The W range of AeroShell aircraft oils were the first to use ashless dispersant technology, keeping your engine cleaner. The package of additives within AeroShell Oils W80, W100, and W120 are combined with selected high-viscosity index base stocks to offer exceptional stability, dispersion, and anti-forming performance within the aircraft piston engines for which they’re approved.
Whether you fly for pleasure or your business depends on flight, AeroShell products are designed to help lift your performance.
How to use AeroShell Oils W80, W100, and W120
AeroShell W Oils can be used in four-stroke (four-cycle) certified reciprocating piston engines, including fuel-injected and turbocharged engines. Radial engine operators tend to use AeroShell Oil W120 in warm weather, while AeroShell Oil W100 and AeroShell Oil W 15W-50 should be used in cooler temperatures.
For Lycoming and Continental flat engines, AeroShell Oil W100 or AeroShell Oil W 15W-50 are the most common choices. But AeroShell Oil W80 works brilliantly in place of AeroShell Oil W100 during the colder months.
Check with your engine manufacturer or rebuilder to find out if AeroShell Oils W80, W100, or W120 can be used during break-in. While many engine manufacturers and rebuilders and overhaul agencies say to use straight mineral oils, some say that either ashless dispersant or straight mineral oil can be used for break-in – for example, for Lycoming O-320H and O/LO360E. For all turbocharged Lycoming engines, ashless dispersant oils are recommended for break-in.
AeroShell W Oils shouldn’t be used in automotive engines. If you’re using an automotive engine that’s been converted for use in an aircraft, check with the engine manufacturer to find out which oil you should use.
Single Grade Ashless Dispersant Oils
AeroShell Oils W80, W100, and W120 are ashless dispersant oils specifically developed for aviation piston engines. They reap the performance benefits of combining non-metallic additives with selected high viscosity index base oils. No general rule exists for every engine type when choosing the correct grade of oil; however, based on the average ambient outside temperature at engine start-up, the most common grades are SAE 40, SAE 50, and SAE 60, which equate to AeroShell Oil W80, W100, and W120 respectively.
Traditionally, the choice is associated with climatic zones: AeroShell W80 for cold climate regions (-17 to 21°C), AeroShell Oil W100 for temperate regions (16 to 32°C), and AeroShell Oil W120 for warmer climates (above 26°C)
AeroShell Oils W80, W100, and W120 are produced to meet fully the SAE specification J1899 (Grades SAE 40, 50, and 60 respectively).
Product information
These AeroShell piston engine oils offer the ashless dispersant performance of AeroShell Oils W80 and W100 but with better anti-wear and anti-corrosion than conventional single grade oil, thanks to the same additives for this purpose used in AeroShell Oil W15W-50 Multigrade.
AeroShell Oils W100 Plus and W80 Plus are for pilots who prefer a single grade for the camshaft and lifters but want the extra protection against rust, which proves especially useful when the aircraft is idle. These oils can be used in any Continental Motors liquid-cooled and air-cooled aircraft piston engines.
How to use AeroShell Piston Engine Oils W100 Plus and W80 Plus
Use AeroShell Oils W100 Plus and W80 plus to coat the camshaft and lifters. These piston engine oils include advanced additives that offer better protection against rust and wear than typical single grades, creating a protective barrier that’s especially vital when the aircraft sits idle.
With these oils, there’s less chance of premature damage, and they help the aircraft to reach the recommended time between overhauls.
AeroShell Oil W100 Plus and W80 Plus – The premium single-grade aviation oils.
Single-grade ashless dispersant engine oils
AeroShell Oils W100 Plus and W80 Plus are new single-grade oils that combine proven AeroShell ashless dispersant technology with advanced anti-wear additives. They’re the oils for pilots who want a single grade that delivers extra protection and performance.
The above oils bring together the best qualities of two of the world's best-selling four-cycle aviation oils. They have the single grade, ashless dispersant performance found in AeroShell Oils W100 and W80 and the anti-wear/anti-corrosion additives of AeroShell Oil W 15W-50 Multigrade.
Their single-grade heritage means outstanding resistance to heat, especially in the summer months. Their ashless dispersant formulation helps reduce deposits of harmful metallic ash in combustion chambers. And their advanced additives work against rust, corrosion, and wear in a way no other single grade does. There are simply no better single-grade aviation oils.
AeroShell W100 Plus and W80 Plus product benefits
Superior rust and corrosion protection, giving that extra protection to engine parts that may be susceptible to extreme rusting when an aircraft is not in use. For prolonged periods of non-use, please use AeroShell Fluid 2F.

AeroShell Shock Strut Fluid (SSF) and AeroShell Landing Gear Fluid (LGF) are mineral hydraulic fluids (MIL-PRF-6083 and MIL-PRF-5606 respectively) to which additional additives have been added to improve the extreme pressure characteristics and the fluid’s natural lubricity. The lubricity agent provides a stable thin film layer to the metal surfaces at mild operating conditions. When severe conditions exist (landing/touchdown), the extreme pressure additive supplies the load carrying needed at the metal-to-metal surfaces to prevent the occurrence of such phenomena as "ladder cracking" and "slip stiction" of the piston component of the landing gear.
AeroShell SSF is AeroShell Fluid 71 plus additives.
AeroShell LGF is AeroShell Fluid 41 plus additives.
Applications
AeroShell SSF is recommended for all normal applications whilst the better low temperature properties of AeroShell LGF make it particularly suitable in areas of low temperature operations.
