Aeroshell Fluid 3

Mineral lubricating oil for general purpose aircraft use

Application Aeroshell Fluid 3

AeroShell Fluid 3 is recommended for general lubrication of aircraft parts that require a light oil, e.g. hinges, pivot joints, shaft joints, linkage pins and bearings, pulleys, cables, camera mechanisms, radio and radar gear and instruments. AeroShell Fluid 3 is normally applied by means of an oil can or brush. For this reason it is also described as ‘an oilcan lubricant. Operating temperature range of AeroShell Fluid 3 is -54°C to +121°C. For high temperature applications where no provision is made for frequent re-lubrication the synthetic oil, AeroShell Fluid 12, should be used in place of the mineral oil, AeroShell Fluid 3; however in this case care should be taken to ensure that there is no incompatibility between AeroShell Fluid 12 and seals, paints etc.

Performance, Features & Benefits of Aeroshell Fluid 3 are:

MIL-PRF-7870E
DEF STAN 91-47 (Obsolete)
NATO Code O-142
Joint Service Designation OM-12 (Obsolete)
