TURBINE ENGINE OILS (TEO)

Through years of development and research, working alongside leading turbine engine manufacturers,
we’ve created the AeroShell Turbine Engine Oil range – ideal to meet the needs of all sorts of turbine aero-
engines.

We offer a complete range of turbine engine oil types, from mineral oil, which are widely used for fuel
system inhibition during storage; to low viscosity 3 centistoke oil in APU to overcome cold soak; to 5
centistoke standard and high performance capability oil for aircraft engines.

What we mean by turbine engine oils

Turbine engine oils are used to lubricate aircraft turbine engines and jet engines to ensure excellent
performance and to help them last longer.

Oil for Aero-derivative Gas Turbines

AeroShell turbine engine oils, such as Aeroshell Turbine Engine Oil 500, AeroShell Turbine Engine Oil 560,
and AeroShell Ascender, can be used in aero-derivative gas turbines in industrial and marine applications.

AeroShell Turbine Engine Oil range

AeroShell Ascender

Reinventing AeroShell’s turbine engine oil offering, AeroShell Ascender is for the next generation of
engine technology. It offers low coking propensity, high thermal and oxidative stability, and
demonstrably better elastomer compatibility.

AeroShell Turbine Engine Oil 560

AeroShell Turbine Engine Oil 560 offers superior performance compared to standard oils. It lowers
the cost of maintaining your engine by keeping it cleaner, and also offers excellent elastomer
compatibility.

AeroShell Turbine Engine Oil 500

AeroShell Turbine Engine Oil 500 offers safety and reliability for older engines needing an oil
approved to MIL-PRF-23699. It can also be used in most civil and military engines that use this
class of lubricant.

AeroShell Turbine Engine Oil 390

A 3mm²/s oil that offers excellent cold-soak starting and reliability for auxiliary power units (APU).
Due to its low temperature characteristic, AeroShell Turbine Oil 390 has a reduced viscous drag
compared to 5mm2/s oils during APU startup.

AeroShell Turbine Engine Oil 2 and 3

AeroShell Turbine Engine Oil 2 and 3 are 2 mm²/s and 3mm²/s mineral turbine oils that inhibit fuel
systems and their components during storage.

AeroShell Turbine Engine Oil 308

This 3mm²/s synthetic oil offers dependability for older engines that require a MIL-PRF-7808 oil. It
uses additives to offer better resistance against oxidation and corrosion, and to minimise wear.

AeroShell Turbine Engine Oil 555

For high load-carrying capacity for helicopter engines and transmissions, AeroShell Turbine Engine
Oil 555 is ideal. It’s an advanced 5mm²/s synthetic oil with a finely balanced blend of additives to
offer better thermal and oxidation stability, as well as improving the base oil’s load-carrying
capability.

AeroShell Turbine Engine Oil 750

This 7.5mm²/s synthetic oil with excellent load carrying, thermal, and oxidation stability was
developed to offer a high standard of lubrication in British civil gas turbines. It’s especially useful in
turbo-prop engines, which benefit from its load carrying.

Turbine engine oil CHANGEOVER

Generally synthetic turbine oils in one viscosity group are compatible and miscible with all other synthetic oils
in the same viscosity group (and in many cases other viscosity groups as well). However, in changing from
one synthetic turbine oil to another, an operator must follow the engine manufacturers’ recommendations.
Change by top-off (mixing) allows the changeover to take place slowly and there is increasing evidence that
this is less of a shock to the engine and engine oil system. While most engine manufacturers allow change by
top-off (mixing), other engine manufacturers do not and only allow changeover by either drain and refill, or
drain, flush and refill.

It’s Shell’s policy to always recommend that the engine manufacturer’s recommendations are followed. In
addition, it’s recommended that for the initial period during and after changeover, the oil filters are inspected
more frequently.

AeroShell Turbine Engine Oil data sheets and specs

In the table below, you can find the technical data sheet (TDS) and material safety data sheet (MSDS)  for the
AeroShell turbine engine oil you need. The TDS and MSDS are in English, but you can find these documents
in other languages in the Shell EPC area.

An MSDS, formerly known as a safety data sheet (SDS), explains the properties and hazards of the turbine
engine oil. It also offers safe handling recommendations, storage and transport requirements, and what
measures should be taken for first aid, accidental releases, exposure control, and personal protection.

A TDS outlines the main applications or areas of use for your turbine engine oil, as well as its physicochemical
properties and general advice on health, safety, and its environmental impact.
