1. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Aeroshell Oil W15W-50 is a premium semi-synthetic multigrade ashless dispersant oil with an advanced additive package incorporating the Lycoming LW 16702 anti-wear additive.
CFC has started changing oil brands and servicing all single-engine airplanes (Lycoming equipped) going into maintenance with Aeroshell Oil W15W-50 instead of the previously used Phillips 66 X/C Aviation Oil 20W50
2.OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
- Mixing oil types in CFC aircraft is not permitted.
- Aircraft that has been serviced with Aeroshell Oil W15W-50 will have an entry on the first page of the Journey Log “Oil Grade – Type D´Huile” specifying Aeroshell W15W-50.
- During the transition period when we expect to have a mix of aircraft serviced with different types of oil, a sticker will be attached to the engine cowl as follows:
- Aircraft that have not yet been scheduled for an oil change continue to operate using Phillips 66 X/C Aviation Oil 20W503.
