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 increase the base oil's load-carrying ability.
APPLICATIONS: AeroShell Turbine Oil 555 was specifically developed to meet SST engines' high temperatures and load-carrying requirements and the DEF STAN 91-100 (formerly DERD 2497) and XAS-2354 specifications. AeroShell Turbine Oil 555 was also designed to enhance current engines' performance.
More recently, with the need to transmit more power and higher loads through helicopter transmission and gearbox systems (many helicopters use synthetic turbine engine oil in the transmission/gearbox system), it has become apparent that the use of a perfect load-carrying oil, such as AeroShell Turbine Oil 555 is necessary. This has led to the development of a U.S. Military Specification, DOD-L-85734 (now DOD-PRF-85734A), which covers a helicopter transmission oil against which AeroShell Turbine Oil 555 is fully approved.
AeroShell Turbine Oil 555 contains synthetic ester oil and should not be used in contact with incompatible seal materials, and it also affects some paints and plastics. Refer to the General Notes at the front of this section for further information.
The Frekote 770-NC synthetic mold release I ordered has a 6-month shelf life from the factory. The can I received on 8/25 was set to expire on 8/31 according to the date printed on the bottom of the can. I called and sent a photo of the can bottom and they said it should have been taken off the shelf a month earlier, so they will send me a good can when new stock arrives without sending the out of date can back.
I appreciate the fast delivery and them taking care of the issue, but it means you could be buying product that has only one month of shelf life remaining. Call before you buy and have them confirm the expiration date of their stock and if it is less than works for you, work out delivery from fresh stock or negotiate a discount.
It's the standard pilot log for a reason. Many different flight time categories with just enough space for remarks. As a helicopter pilot, it would be nice if the endorsements section wasn't fixed-wing focused; but I get that there are a lot fewer helicopter pilots out there, so I won't dock any stars for that. This is my third ASA-SP-57 logbook at this point, and I intend to keep getting more of them in the future.
