Castrol Aero 40 Product
Description:
Castrol Aero 40 is a special
run, stoddard solvent calibrating
fluid.
Castrol Aero 40 is a high quality,
MIL-PRF-5606 based, ISO Grade 15
mineral hydraulic fluid which contains a shear stable viscosity index improver,
anti-oxidant, anti-wear agents, and an approved EP additive system which
reduces martensitic streaking of landing gear outer cylinders and galling of
shock strut upper bearings. Castrol Aero 40 is available in two versions: red
dyed (Douglas Aircraft) or straw colored (yellow) undyed (Boeing Spec BMS 3-
32, Type II).
Castrol Aero 40 Uses:
Castrol Aero 40 is designed for use in landing gear shock struts. It is
compatible with approved MIL-PRF-6083 and
MIL-PRF-5606 hydraulic fluids.
It is not completely compatible with synthetic gas turbine lubricants or with
phosphate-ester hydraulic fluids. It is compatible with other petroleum-based
and synthesized hydrocarbon lubricants but contamination should be avoided
in order to maintain the unique properties of Castrol® Aero 40. This product is
compatible with seals, hoses and paints normally used in shock struts and
dispensing equipment connected with this application. While certain grades of
the above materials are fully compatible with Castrol® Aero 40, it is advisable
to confirm acceptability of use with either the material manufacturer or the
appropriate technical support contact.
