AeroShell Turbine Engine Oil 560 Third generation synthetic turbine engine oil Click for More / Click to hide |
Third Generation Synthetic Turbine Engine Oil
AeroShell Turbine Oil 560 is a third generation 'low coking' 5 centistoke synthetic hindered ester lubricating oil. It incoporates advanced additive technology and a fine balance of additives to resist the high temperatures generated by turbine engines. These carefully selected components result in a product which greatly reduces the deposits caused by high temperature conditions and improves overall engine performance. The balanced blend of additives also improves the thermal and oxidational stability.
The outstanding high temperature and oxidation stability of AeroShell Turbine Oil 560 is due to the natural properties of the synthetic hindered ester base fluid used. These fluids are clean running in that they tend to dissolve varnish and sludge rather than leave deposits on working surfaces.
AeroShell Turbine Oil 560 was developed essentially to meet the high temperature requirements of both modern engines and future models. Higher operating temperatures and pressures, improved engine performance and lower maintenance practices have resulted in increased severity in lubricant operating conditions. Type II oils are becoming less suitable for use in modern aircraft engines.
The superior load carrying qualities of AeroShell Turbine Oil 560 is demonstrated by the Ryder Gear Test which compares older Type II oils and other competitive third generation oils. In standard load carrying tests AeroShell Turbine Oil 560 achieves 8% improvement over other competitive MIL-L-23699 or DERD 2499 oil on the market. Research and Development has enabled the most suitable selection of additives to be used in order to provide the superior load carrying and exceptional resistance to high temperature oxidation.
AeroShell Turbine Oil 560 is also approved for use in the industrial versions of certain aero-engines listed on this page.

Aeroshell Turbine Engine Oil 555 An advanced 5 mm2/s synthetic hindered ester oil incorporating a finely balanced blend of additives to improve thermal and oxidation stability and to increase the load carrying ability of the base oil. Click for More / Click to hide |
AeroShell Turbine Oil 555 is an advanced 5 mm2/s synthetic hindered ester oil incorporating a finely balanced blend of additives to improve thermal and oxidation stability and to increase the load carrying ability of the base oil.
Applications
AeroShell Turbine Oil 555 was specifically developed to meet the high temperatures and load carrying requirements of SST engines and the DEF STAN 91-100 (formerly DERD 2497) and XAS-2354 specifications. AeroShell Turbine Oil 555 was also designed to give enhanced performance in current engines.
More recently with the need to transmit more power and higher loads through helicopter transmission and gearbox systems (many helicopters use a synthetic turbine engine oil in the transmission/gearbox system) it has become apparent that the use of a very good load carrying oil, such as AeroShell Turbine Oil 555 is necessary. This in turn has led to the development of a U.S. Military Specification, DOD-L-85734, which covers a helicopter transmission oil against which AeroShell Turbine Oil 555 is fully approved.
AeroShell Turbine Oil 555 contains a synthetic ester oil and should not
be used in contact with incompatible seal materials and it also affects
some paints and plastics.
Specifications
U.S. Approved DOD-L-85734
British Approved DEF STAN 91-100 (Note: both UK and US production are manufactured to the same formulation.)
NATO Code O-160
Joint Service Designation OX-26
Pratt & Whitney Approved 521C Type II
General Electric Approved D-50 TF 1
Allison Approved EMS-53 (Obsolete)

Aeroshell Turbine Engine Oil 500 Second generation synthetic turbine engine oil. Click for More / Click to hide |
Second Generation Synthetic Turbine Engine oil
AeroShell Turbine Oil 500 is a 5 centistoke synthetic hindered ester oil incorporating additives to improve thermal and oxidational stability and also metal passivation.
AeroShell Turbine Oil 500 was developed essentially to meet the requirements of Pratt & Whitney 521 B Type II and MIL -L-23699 specifications and is entirely suitable for all civil and military engines requiring this class of lubricant.
High Viscosity Index Synthetic Base Fluids used in AeroShell Turbine Oil 500 maintain viscosity and protect components more effectively under the high shear stresses that a turbine system places on lubricants.
The outstanding high temperature and oxidation stability of AeroShell Turbine Oil 500 is due to the natural properties of the synthetic hindered ester base fluids used. These fluids are clean running in that they tend to dissolve varnish and sludge rather than leave deposits on working surfaces.
Research and Development has enabled the most suitable selection of additive to be used in order to provide the excellent oxidation stability, superior load carrying and exceptional protection against high temperature corrosion of metals.
AeroShell Turbine Oil 500 is also approved for use in the industrial and marine versions of certain aero-engines listed. The land and sea based derivatives of the aero-engines retain the essential design elements of their aviation versions. Such designs place heavy demands on the components and lubricants to ensure total reliability in the high temperatures within the engine. Engine manufacturers, therefore, approve the use of aircraft synthetic turbine oils in their engines.
