AeroShell Turbine Oil 560 is a third generation, high performance, low coking 5 mm2
/s synthetic hindered ester oil incorporating a carefully selected and finely balanced
combination of additives to improve thermal and oxidation stability.
APPLICATIONS:
Changes which have taken place over the last twenty years in engine performance (in
terms of improved fuel consumption, higher operating temperatures and pressures) and
maintenance practices have resulted in increased severity in lubricant operating conditions.
AeroShell Turbine Oil 560 was developed to withstand the hostile environments of today's
high powered, high compression engines in which the older generation of oils can be
stressed up to and beyond their thermal limits, as evidenced by oil coking in the high
temperature bearing areas.
By overcoming the problems associated with using old technology oils in new technology
engines, AeroShell Turbine Oil 560:
maintains a cleaner engine
provides improved load carrying capacity
reduces maintenance costs
prolongs bearing life in both new and existing engines.
In order for military authorities to take advantage of this better performance in military
engines the specification MIL-PRF-23699 was re-written to include a "High Thermal Stability"
(HTS) grade as well as the Standard (STD) and Corrosion Inhibited (C/I) grades. AeroShell
Turbine Oil 560 is fully approved as an HTS oil. With the advent of the new civil turbine
oil specification, SAE AS5780, which has more stringent requirements than the military
specification, AeroShell Turbine Oil 560 was approved as a SPC (Standard Performance
Capability) oil.
With effect from January 1st 2002, AeroShell Turbine Oil 560 has been manufactured with
an improved formulation to further enhance its anti-coking performance.
AeroShell Turbine Oil 560 contains a 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been taken off the shelf a month earlier, so they will send me a good can when new stock arrives without sending the out of date can back.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.
