Aero 40 is designed for use in aircraft landing gear shock struts. It is compatible with approved oils meeting MIL-PRF-6083 specification and other MIL-H- 5606 qualified hydraulic fluids. It is compatible with other petroleum-based and synthetic hydrocarbon lubricants but contamination should be avoided in order to maintain the performance of this product. Additionally, Aero 40 is formulated as an alternative to Boeing Service Letters 707-SL-12-2; 727-SL-12-2; 737-SL-12-2; and 757-SL-27-15-B.Aero 40 (Red) is formulated to meet Douglas Aircraft Specification DPS 3.334.
Pilots HQ had the best price on the pump needed to replace the one on my plane that was failing. It actually shipped ahead of schedule, arrived quickly to my IA who was ale to install it and get me back in the air in a timely manner. Great service and price.
I stopped in looking for some very specific AN bolts. The ladies up front went way out of their way to help me find the bolts I needed. Got my annual done that weekend thanks to Pilot HQ.
