20W-50 Intended For Use Prior To Switching To Exxon Elite
ExxonMobil Aviation
Lubricants has introduced Exxon Aviation Oil 20W-50, a
non-dispersant lubricant for the break-in of new or newly
overhauled aircraft piston engines. The multi-grade oil can be used
year-round, in high- and low-temperature climates, and was designed
for use before switching to Exxon Aviation Oil Elite 20W-50 (Exxon
Elite).
"Aviation engine builders and overhaul companies recommend or
require a non-dispersant oil for break-in during an engine's first
hours of use, but non-dispersant oils are generally available only
in monograde formulations that perform best at a narrow temperature
range," explains Ken Fritz, global marketing manager, ExxonMobil
Aviation Lubricants. "In the past, this has meant that pilots often
had to use a break-in oil that was too viscous for their operating
environment."
The introduction of multi-grade Exxon Aviation Oil 20W-50 solves
that problem by providing an all-season, all-weather oil for the
break-in period.
"Now, with Exxon Aviation Oil 20W-50 used in tandem with Exxon
Elite, our customers have the all-season lubricant technology to
combat engine wear, rust and corrosion, from break-in to TBO (time
between overhaul)," Fritz says.
Exxon Aviation Oil 20W-50 is manufactured from high
thermal/oxidation stability base oils and is approved by the U.S.
Military and leading engine manufacturers worldwide, including
Teledyne Continental Motors and Textron Lycoming. The product is
compatible with all commercial non-dispersant and
ashless-dispersant piston-engine oils and can be mixed in any
proportion with any other certified aviation piston engine oil.
