Chiefin Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 AeroShell Oil W 15 W 50 Aeroshell Oil W 15 W 50 is a premium semi-synthetic multigrade ashless dispersant oil specifically developed for aviation piston engines. AeroShell Oil W 15 W 50 is a special blend of a high quality mineral oil and synthetic hydrocarbons with an advanced additive package that has been specifically formulated for multigrade applications. The combination of non-metallic anti-wear additives and selected high viscosity index mineral and synthetic base oils, give exceptional stability, dispersancy and anti-foaming performance. The advanced additive package in AeroShell W 15 W 50 provides excellent protection to engines operating at extreme ambient temperatures. The ashless anti-wear additive package provides exceptional wear protection for camshafts and lifters and other wearing surfaces. AeroShell W 15 W 50 has become very popular amongst engine manufacturers and operators alike. In order to cater for those Lycoming engines that need improved load carrying, the Lycoming LW 16702 antiwear additive has been incorporated into the formulation thus eliminating the need for supplemental additive addition. The Question is,,, Being that our Engines are not all that much different than air cooled piston aircraft ,,,has anybody researched this oil or used it ?

lschultz Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I have not done any research oil on it but I remember readings on a Harley forum a while back somebody was using it. Not much help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefin Posted July 28, 2012 Author Share Posted July 28, 2012 I have some friends in the Pan/Shovelhead world that swear by it ,,say you must get the one with the W in front of the wt,, W 15 W 50 says it has the correct additives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHIEF DOC 99 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Airplane oil is for airplanes...hint: it is non detergent & lacks some additives aeronautic engineers feel may foul aircraft plugs in flight. Tractor Oil is for tractors... Diesel oil is for Diesels... Automotive oil is for cars & light trucks. V Twin Oil is for V Twins. Someone is always thinkin' smarter than the fart smellers who came up with the formula. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiefin Posted July 28, 2012 Author Share Posted July 28, 2012 AeroShell Oil W 15W-50 is a unique blend of high quality mineral oil and over 50% synthetic hydrocarbon base stocks, plus the AeroShell Oil W ashless dispersant additive system. This semi-synthetic blend offers high performance in a wide variety of applications and conditions. The synthetic base stock performance provides for better cold temperature pumping and protection than single grade oils. In addition, the blend of synthetic and high quality mineral base stocks provide high temperature performance superior to that of other fully approved aircraft piston engine oils. The mineral base stocks help disperse lead by-products of combustion, thereby keeping engines free of "grey paint" or lead sludge that can be a problem with some fully synthetic oils. The anti-wear additive system in AeroShell Oil W 15W-50 provides outstanding wear protection for critical camshafts, lifters and other high wear components. The anti-corrosion additive package in AeroShell Oil W 15W-50 helps protect low usage engines and engines in high humidity climates against rust and corrosion of critical engine parts such as camshafts and lifters. AeroShell Oil W 15W-50 provides superior anti-corrosion protection for all types of certified aircraft piston engines. When used with proper maintenance procedures, the product provides maximum protection and improves the likelihood that aircraft engines will reach TBO. In addition, this product provides outstanding high temperature oxidation protection for hot running engines. It is designed to keep engines cleaner with less sludge and varnish build-up in critical ring belt and other areas. AEROSHELL OIL W 15W-50 Applications: AeroShell Oil W 15W-50 is intended for use in certified four-stroke cycle aircraft piston engines. AeroShell Oil W 15W-50 is superior to single grade oils in almost every application. It offers easier starting, better lubrication after start-up, reduced wear, reduced corrosion and rusting, and improved cleanliness, with oil pressures and temperatures equal to that of single grade SAE 50 oils at fully warmed up conditions. The anti-corrosion additive system is designed to prevent rust or corrosion in all types of aircraft piston engines. In comparative testing of camshaft rusting under high humidity conditions, AeroShell Oil W 15W-50 was almost entirely rust free while other camshafts conditioned on other oils showed sometimes heavy rusting on cam lobes and bearing surfaces. These results indicate that AeroShell Oil W 15W-50 can provide maximum anti-corrosion protection for aircraft piston engines, when combined with proper maintenance practices and proper operating conditions. Because of the improved flow characteristics of AeroShell Oil W 15W-50, operators may observe slightly lower oil temperatures in some aircraft. On larger aircraft, the oil cooler flap will normally compensate for this change. However, in small aircraft, oil temperature could be reduced slightly. Operators should always check the oil temperature to ensure that they are in the range specified by the manufacturer. Most manufacturers recommend cruising oil temperatures between 82 to 93°C (180 to 200°F). Oil temperatures significantly below this range can result in excessive water and fuel contamination in the crankcase. AEROSHELL OIL W 15W-50 • Provides unsurpassed rust and corrosion protection for aircraft engines • Promotes engine cleanliness, fights wear, offers excellent anti-foam properties • Helps reduce oil consumption by up to 50% and provides superior oil flow at low temperatures • Compatible with other approved aircraft piston engine oils • Functions as an all season oil, no seasonal changes needed • Reduces fuel consumption by up to 5% over straight grades • Provides unequalled high temperature oxidation stability Refer to General Notes at the front of this section for information on oil change recommendations and engine break-in. AeroShell Oil W 15W-50 is not recommended for use in automotive engines. For automotive engines converted for use in aircraft, the specific engine manufacturer or the conversion agency should be consulted for proper oil recommendation.

CHIEF DOC 99 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Sounds like good shit tho,,,, It's the best there is for airplanes. Questions... Why is it not recommended for automotive engines? If it lacks some necessary additives for automotive, it probably lacks those desirable in a motorcycle oil too. Who needs the lead fuel stripping quality? 'Antifoaming' is another word for nondetergent. Why not come right out and say it is nondetergent? All airplane oil is nondetergent ~ that is why it needs changing so often. I would use it in an aircraft engine ~ that's what it was formulated for. I think peeps like it cuz at $6 a quart it's cheap (needs to be with 2,000 mile changes) & sounds cool when "I use AeroShell Aircraft Oil in the Knuck" rolls off the tonque. :rotfl: Oil Belief is like religious choice it can become obsessive and start the craziest arguments... Use what makes you happy ~ once you find what you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hasbin Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Chiefin should like it,If only for the soot control, or would that be only for the scoot??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Airplane oil is for airplanes...hint: it is non detergent & lacks some additives aeronautic engineers feel may foul aircraft plugs in flight. Tractor Oil is for tractors... Diesel oil is for Diesels... Automotive oil is for cars & light trucks. V Twin Oil is for V Twins. Someone is always thinkin' smarter than the fart smellers who came up with the formula. I used to run Castrol back before there was V Twin oil.... I still run mobil 15-50... so does the local independent shop... so you can 3 bucks a quart more if'n want..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
