Lubricating oil 80

maintenancepiston engine

Overview
AeroShell Oil 80 is a straight mineral break-in oil formulated for use in piston engines during initial run-in and post-overhaul break-in periods. It provides low-viscosity lubrication to support reliable oil flow in colder ambient conditions (-17°C to 21°C / 1.4°F to 69.8°F).

Features and benefits

• Ideal for engine break-in: Formulated with no dispersant additives; contains only a small amount of pour-point depressant and an antioxidant to support break-in procedures.
• Cold-climate performance: Lower viscosity grade to ensure dependable lubrication and oil circulation at lower ambient temperatures.

Specifications & approvals
SAE specification: J1966 Grade 40 (single-grade suffix 80 based on Saybolt Universal Seconds at 210°F). Joint Service Designation: OM-170. Approved for use in four-stroke certified aircraft reciprocating piston engines (except Porsche) and other radial engines that require SAE J1966 without a dispersant additive.

Applications
AeroShell piston engine break-in oils are available in three viscosity grades: AeroShell Oil 80, 100 and 120. These straight mineral oils are primarily used during break-in of new or recently overhauled four-stroke cycle aviation piston engines that specify SAE J1966 (MIL-L-6082) and do not require dispersant-containing oils.

Health, Safety and Environment

• Health and Safety: Consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for handling, exposure controls and personal protection recommendations.
• Protect the Environment: Collect and dispose of used lubricant at an authorised facility. Do not discharge into drains, soil or water.
