Shell AeroShell 500 Turbine Oil

Key Usage and Handling Guidelines Consult Manufacturer Manuals: The primary direction for use is found within the maintenance and operating manuals provided by the engine manufacturer (e.g., Pratt & Whitney, General Electric, Rolls-Royce). These documents detail the specific application points, oil change intervals, and quantity required. Intended Use: The oil is designed for use in jet and turboprop engines, helicopter gearboxes, and industrial gas turbines where a MIL-PRF-23699 or SAE AS5780 SPC class oil is specified. Incompatibility Warning: It contains a synthetic ester oil and should not be used in contact with incompatible seal materials, paints, or plastics, as it can cause degradation. Do Not Mix: Avoid mixing this oil with water, impurities, halogens, strong acids, alkalis, or oxidizing materials. Safe Handling and Storage Precautions Personal Hygiene: Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling the material and before eating, drinking, or smoking. Personal Protective Equipment: Wear suitable protective equipment (e.g., impervious gloves, safety footwear) to avoid prolonged or repeated skin and eye contact. Ventilation: Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to control airborne concentrations of vapors, mists, or aerosols, especially if the material is heated or sprayed. Storage: Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and open flames. Store in original containers (mild steel or high-density polyethylene are recommended materials; avoid PVC). Disposal: Take used oil to an authorized collection point. Do not discharge it into drains, soil, or water to prevent environmental contamination.
