AeroShell Oil W80 Aircraft Engine Oil 1 Quart
Reliable lubrication and proven AeroShell quality for your aircraft piston engine. AeroShell Oil W80 is a premium SAE 40 single-grade ashless dispersant engine oil designed for suitable certified four-stroke aircraft piston engines.
Its formulation combines high-quality mineral base oils with ashless dispersant additive technology to support reliable lubrication, engine cleanliness and efficient operation.
SAE 40 Oil for Cooler Climates
AeroShell W80 has a lower viscosity than AeroShell W100, making it particularly interesting for operations in cooler ambient temperatures.
Shell identifies an ambient temperature range of approximately -17°C to +21°C for AeroShell W80.
The lower viscosity helps oil circulate during cold starts, supporting lubrication of critical engine components.
The correct oil grade must always be selected according to the engine manufacturer's current recommendations.
Ashless Dispersant Technology
Aircraft piston engines generate combustion by-products and other contaminants during operation.
AeroShell W80 contains ashless dispersant additives designed to keep particles suspended in the oil and help minimise deposit formation.
This technology supports internal engine cleanliness and reliable lubrication during normal operation.
Proven AeroShell W-Series Technology
AeroShell W oils have been developed for the specific lubrication requirements of aviation piston engines.
AeroShell W80 provides single-grade SAE 40 lubrication for applications where this viscosity and specification are permitted.
It can be used in suitable fuel-injected and turbocharged four-stroke aircraft piston engines, subject to the applicable engine manufacturer's requirements.
AeroShell W80 Compared with W80 Plus
Both AeroShell W80 and W80 Plus are SAE 40 single-grade ashless dispersant aviation oils.
AeroShell W80 is the conventional W-series formulation, while W80 Plus incorporates an enhanced additive package for additional wear and corrosion protection.
Always confirm which oil is suitable for your specific engine.
Suitable for Approved Aircraft Piston Engines
AeroShell Oil W80 is intended for suitable certified four-stroke aircraft piston engines.
For many Lycoming and Continental horizontally opposed engines, AeroShell W80 can be an appropriate alternative to AeroShell W100 during colder periods of the year, provided the engine manufacturer's requirements permit its use.
Always consult the applicable engine documentation before changing oil grades.
