Shell Aeroshell Oil W80
Aeroshell Oil W80
Mineral ashless dispersant oil for aircraft piston engines
Application Aeroshell Oil W80
AeroShell Oil W80 - AeroShell Oil W100 - AeroShell Oil W120. The suffix for each grade corresponds to the viscosity of the oil at 2100 F in Saybolt Universal Seconds. AeroShell W Oils are intended for use in four-stroke cycle (four-cycle) certified reciprocating piston engines, including fuel-injected and turbocharged engines. AeroShell W Oils are not recommended for use in automotive engines. For automotive engines converted for use in aircraft, the specific engine manufacturer or the conversion agency should be consulted for proper oil recommendation. Most radial engine operators use AeroShell Oil W120 in warm weather operations with AeroShell Oil W100 or AeroShell Oil W 15W-50 being used in cooler ambient temperatures. AeroShell Oil W100 or AeroShell Oil W 15W-50 are the common choices for most operators of Lycoming and Continental flat engines but, during colder parts of the year, use of AeroShell Oil W80 in place of AeroShell Oil W100 would be an excellent choice. Although some aircraft engine manufacturers and rebuilders/ overhaul agencies suggest in their service bulletins the use of a straight mineral oil in new or newly overhauled engines, other rebuilders or manufacturers, especially for engines such as the Lycoming O-320H and O/LO360E, allow either ashless dispersant or straight mineral oil for break-in, whereas ashless dispersant oils are mandated for break-in for all turbocharged Lycoming engines. Operators should check with engine manufacturers or rebuilders for the correct recommendation for the specific engine and application.

Shell Aeroshell Oil W 15W-50
Aeroshell Oil W 15W-50
Semi-synthetic lubricating oil for aircraft piston engines.
Application Aeroshell Oil W 15W-50
AeroShell Oil W 15W-50 is intended for use in certified fourstroke cycle aircraft piston engines. AeroShell Oil W 15W-50 is superior to single grade oils in almost every application. It offers easier starting, better lubrication after start-up, reduced wear, reduced corrosion and rusting, and improved cleanliness with oil pressures and temperatures equal to that of single grade SAE 50 oils at fully warmed up conditions. The anti-corrosion additive system is designed to prevent rust or corrosion in all types of aircraft piston engines. In comparative testing of camshaft rusting under high humidity conditions, AeroShell Oil W 15W-50 was almost entirely rust free while other camshafts conditioned on other oils showed sometimes heavy rusting on cam lobes and bearing surfaces.These results indicate that AeroShell Oil W 15W-50 can provide maximum anti-corrosion protection for aircraft piston engines, when combined with proper maintenance practices and proper operating conditions. Because of the improved flow characteristics of AeroShell Oil W 15W-50, operators may observe slightly lower oil temperatures in some aircraft. On larger aircraft, the oil cooler flap will normally compensate for this change. However, in small aircraft, oil temperature could be reduced slightly. Operators should always check the oil temperature to ensure that they are in the range specified by the manufacturer. Most manufacturers recommend cruising oil temperatures between 82 to 930C (180 to 2000 F). Oil temperatures significantly below this range can result in excessive water and fuel contamination in the crankcase.

Shell Aeroshell Oil Sport Plus 4
Aeroshell Oil Sport Plus 4
Synthetic lubricating oil for aircraft piston engines (4-stroke)
Application Aeroshell Oil Sport Plus 4
AeroShell Oil Sport Plus 4 is intended for use in four-stroke (four-cycle) aircraft piston engines that are of an original automotive design and which cannot, therefore, use traditional Ashless Dispersant aircraft engine oil types. These engines include carburetted, fuel-injected and turbocharged types such as the ROTAX® 912 & 914 series. AeroShell Sport Plus 4 may be used in integrated gearbox and wet clutch systems. AeroShell Oil Sport Plus 4 can be used in engines which operate on both unleaded gasoline and Avgas 100LL. The correct choice of additives and good solvent properties allow the oil to handle lead by-products that can form a semi solid sludge in the oil which can restrict oil passages and compromise lubrication. AeroShell Oil Sport Plus 4 is superior in this respect to those oil types intended for automotive/motorcycle application. Please refer to Operators Handbook/Manual for the correct oil drain interval when operating on different fuels.

Shell Aeroshell Grease 33
Aeroshell Grease 33
Synthetic grease for aircraft
Application Aeroshell Grease 33
For many years aircraft operators have been seeking to rationalise the greases used on aircraft and to reduce the number of different greases in their inventories. Recently Boeing began research on a new, general purpose, corrosion-inhibiting grease. The aim was for a non-clay based grease that would provide longer life for components and mechanisms and possess improved wear and corrosion resistance. This led to the introduction of the new Boeing Specification BMS 3-33. Owing to the wide range of operating temperatures, loads and other environmental conditions required for various aircraft components, several different types of grease with different desirable properties are used during routine lubrication of aircraft components. Boeing, in developing their BMS 3-33 specification, took account of the properties of the different grease types used on aircraft and wrote a specification for a grease which would provide improved performance and which could be used in the widest possible range of grease applications. AeroShell Grease 33 is approved to BMS 3-33C and offers the improved performance properties required by this specification. AeroShell Grease 33 can be used for routine lubrication on Boeing aircraft where MIL-PRF-23827C or BMS 3-24 is specified. AeroShell Grease 33 can also be used in some applications on Boeing aircraft which require use of MIL-G21164. Other applications on Boeing aircraft which require use of MIL-G-21164 and other greases are being reviewed and in due course Boeing will issue details of the full range of applications. For the current status, refer to the latest issue of Boeing Service Letter "BMS 3-33C General Purpose Aircraft Grease". AeroShell Grease 33 can be used for routine lubrication in applications where MIL-PRF-23827C is specified on aircraft manufactured by McDonnell Douglas, Airbus, BAe Regional Aircraft, Canadair, Lockheed, Embraer, Fokker and Gulfstream (except for wheel bearings, applications above 121°C and sliding applications requiring molybdenum disulphide). Other aircraft manufacturers are evaluating AeroShell Grease 33 with the aim of approving it for use on their aircraft. Operators should regularly check with these manufacturers for the latest status. Use of AeroShell Grease 33 can provide operators with the following benefits: Reduced inventories; Reduced maintenance labour costs; Less chance of product mis-application

Shell Aeroshell Turbine Oil 560
Aeroshell Turbine Oil 560
Synthetic lubricating oil for aircraft turbine engines
Application Aeroshell Turbine Oil 560
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.
