Aeroshell 500 Aviation Oil, MIL-PRF-23699G

AeroShell Turbine Oil 500 is a 5 cSt synthetic ester aviation turbine oil formulated for aircraft gas turbine engines and associated accessories. It provides thermal and oxidation stability, low-temperature performance, and protection against corrosion and lubricant-related deposits in demanding turbine-engine applications.

AeroShell Turbine Oil 500 meets the requirements of MIL-PRF-23699G Grade STD and SAE AS5780D Grade SPC. It is also identified with NATO Code O-156 and Joint Service Designation OX-27 and is qualified for a range of aircraft turbine-engine and accessory applications.

AeroShell Turbine Oil 500 is a Standard Performance Capability (SPC) turbine oil and should not be confused with high thermal stability (HTS) turbine oils such as AeroShell Turbine Oil 560.
