Global Product Code: 001A0073



Application:

AeroShell Oil 80 is a straight mineral oil specifically designed for use in four-stroke cycle (four-cycle) certified aircraft reciprocating piston engines, excluding Porsche engines. It is primarily used during the break-in period of most new or recently overhauled engines, providing controlled lubrication without the use of dispersant additives. Operators should always consult engine manufacturer or overhaul facility recommendations for break-in procedures.

Performance Features & Benefits:

  • Non-Dispersant Formula: Contains no dispersant additives, making it ideal for engine break-in applications and preventing early ring glazing.
  • High Viscosity Index: Formulated from selected high viscosity index base stocks, ensuring stable performance across a range of temperatures.
  • Low Ash & High Purity: Delivers superior protection with extremely low ash content, reducing deposit formation and promoting cleaner engine operation.
  • Excellent Oxidation Stability: Helps reduce the formation of harmful oxidation products during high-temperature engine operation.
  • Corrosion Protection: Effectively protects internal engine components, including copper and ferrous metals, against corrosion.

Main Application Areas:

  • Four-stroke cycle aircraft piston engines requiring SAE J1966 non-dispersant oil
  • Used primarily during break-in of new or recently overhauled engines
  • Aircraft radial engines compatible with MIL-L-6082 and equivalent oils

Specifications & Approvals:

  • SAE J1966 Grade 40 (replaces MIL-L-6082E)
  • Russian Specification: MS-14
  • Joint Service Designation: OM-170

Environmental & Safety Information:
