Can you mix Aeroshell W100 with W100 plus?
Aeroshell W100 is a standard Straight Grade Ashless Dispersant oil and can be used in all Continental and some Lycoming engines. Camguard is used as a corrosion inhibitor. If you have been using W100 for a long period, I would not suggest mixing them. Continue with the W100.
What does W100 stand for?
Most air-cooled aircraft engines are designed for SAE 50-weight oil at operating temperature (approximately 210 degrees Fahrenheit). In fairly stable, warm environments, a straight-weight oil such as Aeroshell 100, W100 or Phillips 100AW is a good option because these 100 oils all perform to the SAE 50 spec.
What is 100w oil?
Single-grade AD oil such as Aeroshell W 100 (SAE 50) or W 80 (SAE 40) is a straight-weight petroleum-base oil with an additive package of ashless dispersant cleansers, lead scavenging agents, and acid neutralizers.
What oil do airplanes use?
Aviation kerosene, also known as QAV-1, is the fuel used by airplanes and helicopters equipped with turbine engines, such as pure jet, turboprops, or turbofans. Our kerosene’s thermal stability ensures the aircraft’s performance.
Why is oil of a relatively high viscosity used in reciprocating engines?
Why do aircraft reciprocating engines use a relatively high viscosity oil? Because they usually have large operating clearances, and operate at high temperatures and pressures. To provide for oil foaming, thermal expansion, and air in the return oil.
What is the best aircraft oil?
The industry’s leading multiviscosity aviation oil – Phillips 66 X/C 20W-50 – is celebrating its 40th anniversary. Since its launch in 1979, it has been the aviation oil of choice for many pilots and maintenance experts.
What is the most commonly recommended type of oil for a reciprocating engine?
Straight mineral oil contains no dispersant and is usually recommended by manufacturers for the first 50-hour break-in period on new or newly overhauled engines. It allows faster piston ring seating and allows the accumulation of some advantageous deposits which lead to better oil loss control.
Is jet fuel a diesel?
Jet fuel is very similar to diesel fuel, and in some cases, may be used in diesel engines. Jet fuel is available in most places in the world, whereas avgas is only widely available in a few countries which have a large number of general aviation aircraft. A diesel engine may be more fuel-efficient than an avgas engine.
Is it safe to change aeroshell oil W80 to W100?
Since AeroShell Oils W80, W100, and W120 are fully approved to SAE J1899 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 W Oils are inherently stable in storage.
Why do we use aeroshell W base oil?
High viscosity index base oils used in AeroShell W oils maintain their viscosity and help protect engine components more effectively under the high shear stresses that an engine places on lubricants. Provides compatibility with other approved aircraft piston engine oils.
What kind of viscosity does aeroshell oil have?
Below are some of the properties that AeroShell Oils W80, W100, and W120 demonstrate: SAE viscosity grade – 40 (AeroShell Oil W80), 50 (AeroShell Oil W100), 60 (AeroShell Oil W120).
